CharkBait Inshore Rods

Fishing inshore species of fish can be an absolute blast. Fishing inside the bays, the breakwaters or nearshore waters can result in 100 fish days (or nights). Folks doing this sort of thing often will fish low profile reels like the Daiwa Coastal, Abu Revo, that sort of gear is most common. But, others stick on a small Avet SX or Accurate BX 400N for their powerful drags and power. On the spinning side of things, there are just as many options, maybe more. Penn's always produced some nice saltwater reels, same story for Daiwa. Our inshore rods are made to match with these types of reels and match well. The rods are made to be light in the hands, but with plenty of power to help you turn the fish from their hiding holes. The blanks are relatively thin for their test rating. But, not to the point of being fragile or finicky. They have some backbone to 'em, consistent levels of power for their line test rating.
The main goals in production for this series of rods were:
(1) Light Weight - Superior graphite blanks and cork grips provide that in spades!
(2) Feel/Sensitivity - The cork does indeed help here, as does the blank construction
(3) Compatibility - Both in terms of guide set used, to accommodate Spectra, and the reel seats. Our Inshore Series rods will work with Avet reels. An SX will mount just fine on these rods, and perform very well!
(4) Economy - Factory Direct, compare to rods costing $50 more.

Our Inshore Series fishing rods are made to be responsive, light in weight, durable and best of all, a true value combining quality, price and performance. Weight is one key component of their design, making very good use of strong graphite composite blanks and light weight handle materials. These rods feature very nice cork grips for excellent feel and very light weight - something that's becoming less common given costs of production. The "C" or conventional rods offer a trigger grip, the Spinning models do not. The reel seats on the "C" series rods will also accommodate Avet reel seats, not something that is typically the case for trigger grip-style rods.

Line test rating: Really rods should be measured by the appropriate drag setting used, that makes more sense than some of the line test ratings you see on rods. We rate the rods for their optimum line test use, at 25-30% of the line test measure for drag load. The table below describes the rod's application range and optimum line test rating.

CharkBait Rod Socks

Our Chark-Sleeves are a bit different than the one's above. They are available in three sizes. The base of the sleeve folds up onto the butt section of the rod and then can be tied off. So, one size can fit shorter rods with no problem. They are made of 89% polyester and 11% lycra (like OJ's gloves if you remember...). The material is versatile, durable and quick drying. It's super stretchy, and the micro polyester fabric wicks away moisture - like those $60 golf shirts. Nice product, nice price! These will stretch up to one foot longer in length. So, a 5' will indeed fit a 6' rod, the 7 will stretch to a tight 8.
