Introducing millerods
"Millerods are no ordinary rod. Refreshingly new and innovative in design and appearance. Based on a technique-specific approach, every inch and every component of each rod model is painstakingly selected and individually tuned. The blank actions are custom designed for each model, utilizing exclusively selected graphite blends to maximize performance. This allows Millerods blanks to be both sensitive and strong, with distinct characteristics and specific actions for every lure approach. Rods are aligned with the backbone for ideal power transition between casting, lure retrieve and fish-fighting, which delivers total energy efficiency.
Minimalist skeleton seats and split grip handles maintain the integrity of these amazing blanks, and help deliver valuable feed-back through every inch of the retrieve. The latest Fuji K-R semi-micro guide designs are used in multiple configurations to provide the smoothest line flow possible. This means better casting accuracy, further casting distance, longer line-life, and fighting properties, so even that it protects delicate hook-holds.
The product of exhaustive R&D collaboration between Australia’s first Elite Pro angler Carl Jocumsen and Australia’s premier rod designer Ian ‘Barra’ Miller, the Millerods Casting Rods are a game changer!" Tackle Warehouse
Custom Blend
Custom designed Blanks: Each and Every Model
Our custom blanks are made from blended graphite materials which are selected by assessing the application, action and power requirements for each and every rod. This results in a ‘freestyle’ approach for blank designing, allowing every rod to have its own unique character, and it's own amazing high performance without loss of robustness. All the while still confirming to the strict Millerods philosophy of lightness, balance and sensitivity!
Balanced Tuned
A Balanced System: Rod, Reel, Bait and Angler
Special attention has been paid to the fishing application of each rod, and the balance required during each lure retrieve. This improves sensitivity and makes the rigours of a long day on the water as easy as possible – don’t miss that bite on the last cast through fatigue!
LRP
Long Range Presentations
Each rod in the range has been fine-tuned to its specific performance criteria. Jocumsen is an expert in Long-Range Presentations, and his criteria demands these rods fire off a cast to a distance that has the fish unaware of your presence and ready to bite!
Unique Transitions
Cast - Retrieve - Fight
Unique Millerods blank actions deliver the smoothest of transitions between casting, lure retrieve and fish-fighting. This means user-friendly use and extreme sensitivity, as well as imparting control through every phase of rod use without loss of power transmission.
Sensitivity +
Angler Control & Finesse
Fuji skeleton seats and minimal handle designs mean it’s almost impossible to hold one of these rods for lure retrieval without your hand contacting the blank – and this helps deliver valuable feed-back that these amazing blanks provide for every inch of the retrieve!
