Performance Features:

Black Widow

First Strike:

  • Hand-woven carbon-fiber strips amplify vibration and increase sensitivity. Each grip has a unique weave, with a satin smooth comfortable feel that becomes slightly tacky when wet.
  • ALPS MXN Stainless Steel frame, with Zirconium insert guides are corrosion resistant (saltwater) and 40% lighter than comparable models.


  • EDGE Bass rods perform when it counts most. Gary Loomis designed lightweight and responsive builds that continue to evolve each year. Fine tuning these sensitive tools with LMX materials, allows anglers to feel the slightest vibrations and tip twitches, as well as having the power to move fish from cover and brush. A deadly combo. Both the Black Widow and the First Strike series feature proprietary, carbon-fiber grips that are built in-house. Our casting models in both series feature EDGE off-set reel seats. Designed specifically to increase sensitivity leading to more hook-ups while reducing fatigue. On the water, these elements equate to hooking and landing more fish and fishing longer sessions with better results. These rods perform for the angler, naturally elevating their game.

    FSC ISR 662-1

    $349.00

    One of our most versatile warmwater light casting rods, the ISR 662 has a fast taper for a more positive hook set and greater casting distance. The length provides better line and lure control, especially in deep water, where slack line may cost you a fish. It is a good choice for fishing minnow baits like the Long-A and Rapala, and the preferred rod for split-shotting worms and grubs. For walleye and bass, this is a good light spinnerbait and crankbait rod. It doubles nicely for a lot of light saltwater uses, too, including redfish, specks, small snapper and even permit, with more than enough power to handle the occasional lunker.

    $379.00

    This is a great light-line stand-up rod for species like stripers, blues and albacore. A good choice if you are going for a line-class record, it is soft enough to protect light line, yet still has the power to handle oversized fish. Considered by many to be one of the top kingfish rods in the business, it is also liked by freshwater anglers going for small to medium-sized sturgeon or catfish. Last but not least, it makes a good all-purpose rod for trolling lures with downriggers or side-planers out on the Great Lakes or the ocean. 

    $379.00

    A great all-around, light-duty, offshore stand-up rod for a wide variety of species, including school-size yellowfin, bluefin and albacore. It has just the right action for “fly lining” bait, yet has plenty of lifting power to handle sailfish or small marlin. Good for casting to big cobia, too. Freshwater anglers like it for small to medium-size sturgeon and big catfish with bottom rigs. Fits the bill for stripers and bluefish as well.
