Speciality Lure Rods

(To special order only)

WIZARD STICK 6ft 3in (one piece) 0.5-0.75oz(14-21g) casting weight: £90.00
Seven rings plus tip - 20mm butt/8mm tip.

Originally built as a one-off for a customer who wanted a single handed baitcaster for fishing his local canals I built another one to take round to shows where it created quite a bit of interest. Single leg rings are fitted to keep the weight down on a wand such as this. There are eight inches of cork behind the reel seat, just enough to rest on your forearm when playing fish, but not so much as to get in the way when flicking lures around. Slow through action.


HIDEAWAY 9ft (three equal sections) 2.5oz (70g) casting weight: £150.00
Six three leg Fuji rings. 30mm butt - 10mm tip.

Hideaway 9ft 3 piece

A pike spinning rod of traditional action that would be suitable for casting lures to other medium to large species. Suitable for most pike lures up to two ouces or more. Handy for leaving rigged up in a car for snatched sessions. Will come in useful as a spoon rod, for wobbling deadbaits, and could even be pressed into use as deadbait rod for close range fishing. A worthwhile rod to take along 'just in case' on many trips. Breaks down to 38in (96cm) sections. Standard build for fixed spool (as shown) but multiplier build can be accomodated.


SNEAKER 9H 9ft (four equal sections) 2oz (56g) casting weight: £150.00
Six single leg Fuji rings. 30mm butt - 8mm tip.

Sneaker 9 four-piece

I have been asked to provide rods that can be kept in car boots, or put in suitcases, for some time. Now I can provide two nine footers. These rods have nothing to do with the baitcasting rod of the same name which I used to build. It 's just that I was lacking inspiration and thought 'Sneaker' suited a four piece rod that could be 'sneaked' here and there! The heavier version of the Sneaker will cover most pike lure fishing of what you might call the 'traditional' style. It could also come in handy for stalking carp and sea spinning too. This might well prove to be the most versatile rod in my range for the non species-specific lure nuts out there, and for globe trotters too.


SNEAKER 9L 9ft (four equal sections) 1.5oz (38g) casting weight: £150.00
Six single leg Fuji rings. 25mm butt - 8mm tip.

This lighter Sneaker will handle small pike lures, zander fishing (maybe even some chubbing situations) and possibly a bit of lighter spinning from the rocks. Don't take my word for it though, none of that's really my scene! The action is what you would expect from a spinning rod, pretty much all through but not floppy.
