Inshore
Here’s an excellent all-around spinning rod. A great choice for notherns and big, deep-water walleyes. The ISR 703 has a medium-heavy tip and a fast taper that delivers both long range casts and the power necessary to fish Carolina rigs. It is a good deep-water worm and jig rod, especially in tailwater situations where some current is involved. Saltwater anglers will appreciate its power for snook, small tarpon, or casting jigs or spoons for redfish; the quick taper gives you better control in the wind and increases hook setting power for live bait applications. It also makes a nice lightweight striper rod, or if you enjoy simply lounging on the river bank, dunking worms for catfish, well, it’ll fit nicely in a forked stick, too. Now that is versatility.
Inshore
Specially designed as a deep-water spinning rod, the ISR 763 excels at fishing small leadhead jigs, tube jigs and small to medium crankbaits. The 7’6” length extends the angler’s casting range and provides a much better hook set in deep water. This rod has plenty of power for bigger fish, but it is also very forgiving, thanks to its moderate action. You aren’t apt to lose fish when they are hooked a long way off or going crazy right at the boat. It also makes a top-notch rod for ripping minnow-style lures.

Surf
With plenty of power to handle oversize stripers, blues and drum, the 1164 cast stick can throw an ounce and a half of metal well beyond the first bar. If you spend some time chasing tail-race stripers in freshwater, this rod will handle both big fish and heavy water. The handle is extra long for added leverage. When it comes to casting, the phrase “country mile” comes to mind once again.

Surf
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.
