The name says it all.  In his review in the UK Beach Fishing Review, John Holden said, “…it drives 4 oz well past 175 yards.  Were I a widely traveling angler determined to carry only one rod, the Universal would be high on my short list”.

Unbelievably light for such power, this is a very easy loading, forgiving rod that handles the overhand, hatteras cast or off-the-ground cast equally well.  With a firmer tip than the Uptide, we think it’s a fantastic bait rod and it’ll cast a big metal out there with any rod on the market .  This rod also loads with 2 oz. very well for you guys who want a firm tip for working big metal lips, darters and bucktails out in the rip where the big stripers stay.  Much like the 13’ surf, this rod casts and fishes with the ease of a much shorter rod.  

• High modulus low diameter carbon blank.

• Very smooth and forgiving casting action.

• Casts 2 - 5 oz. plus bait.

• ** Comes with a custom cloth rod bag (included with purchase) **
