One of the ultimate freshwater fly games deserves rods purpose-engineered and built to support performance with minimal fatigue throughout the hunt. Tannic Musky/Pike answers the call with powerful, dialed-in tapers that excel in carrying heavy sinking lines that can deliver massive morsels, plus hefty tips for maximum fly animation. But that’s just the start. Advanced St. Croix materials and technologies combined with MITO Graphene up the ante with extreme strength and durability while maintaining light-in-the-hand feel and dream-state swing weights. Tannic Musky/Pike doubles down on meaningful musky-focused performance with additional details like ceramic-insert titanium and stainless guides for increased wear resistance against tungsten-coated lines, plus custom Cactus Cork handle designs that maximize angler comfort and control while casting, strip-setting, and executing deep and effective figure-eights.
