Slam Stick Spinning Rod

Meet the newest addition to the Fish Strong Rod Lineup: The Slam Stick.

This is the rod so many people have been waiting for.

A fast-action, lightweight, powerful, and DURABLE rod designed specifically for the inshore saltwater angler casting artificial lures, for under $150

The Slam Stick has the quality and specs of rods in the $200-250 range, but our "direct-to-fishermen" tackle shop, plus membership discount, allows you to get it for an unbeatable price.

Over the past few years, we’ve been working with multiple rod building experts and learned that there’s no better way to dial-in the performance of a rod without first building one yourself. 

We were surprised about how the mass production rod manufacturers were overlooking some EXTREMELY important details in their rods designs that decreases the actual performance of the rod.

One of the biggest missed opportunities that most rod manufacturers seem to overlook is Guide Spacing and Reel Pairing. Having a guide layout that's placed appropriately for your specific reel size will help optimize casting distance while also reducing the potential for wind knots. 

After countless hours of field-testing multiple prototype rods, we are proud to say we've nailed in the Recipe for the Perfect Inshore Spinning that is designed to match perfectly with the majority of 2500 & 3000 sized Spinning Reels on the market today. 

Features & Benefits: 

• High modulus carbon fiber contraction which gives you incredible feel of strikes and even a lure bumping on the bottom
• 7'6" length which provides the ultimate combination of distance and accuracy for inshore saltwater fishing
• Fast action blanks which increase casting accuracy while providing quicker hook sets to see noticeable results in catching more fish
• High end components (guides, grip, hook keeper, and cork handle) that hold up to exposure to hard core saltwater fishing.

Comparison to Slot Machine

The Slam Stick does not quite have the feel and performance as the $399 Slot Machine rod, but it still has custom guide spacing to allow for max distance casting while having better feel of strikes compared to most other rods. Also, the Slam Stick is not Made in the USA like the Slot Machine (the Slam stick is made in China like the TFO and most other rods).

Comparison to TFO Pro PS

The Slam Stick has higher end components along with the custom guide train for fishermen looking for maximized casting distance compared to the TFO Pro PS. Also, the Slam Stick has a coat of paint that helps it withstand some abuse and keep on catching fish. So for anyone who has the budget, we highly recommend upgrading to the Slam Stick.

Shipping Details: 

There is a $30 flat rate shipping fee for the Slam Stick rods (up to 3 Rods can be purchased within the same order). This Rod can be ordered in combination with any others as well (TFO, St. Croix, etc.). If more than 3 rods are ordered, there will be an additional $30 flat rate shipping fee to accommodate the additional shipment. Please note that we are unable to ship rods to a PO Box and to some areas in Puerto Rico as UPS does not allow. 

Slam Stick Rod Warranty Policy:

On top of being an excellent fishing rod, it comes with an excellent 3 year warranty program in the unlikely event that your rod has any sort of issue (even if it was broken by an accidental encounter with a fan).
