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.

    Wonderfully lightweight, this medium-light power surf stick is rated for 15-40-pound line and lures up to 3 ounces. Designed to handle blues, stripers, drum, cobia and other surf species, it excels at throwing cedar plugs, sting silvers and similar baits. Light, sensitive and responsive are the words that best describe this rod, but don't let “light” mislead you. Progressive power throughout the blank allows you to cast a country mile and whip big fish in a hurry. It is also excellent for freshwater applications like long-range casts on tail-races for big stripers, or plunking for salmon and steelhead on the Columbia. The handle is extra long for added casting and fish-fighting leverage.
