Dark Matter IO Casting Rods are that inshore/offshore rod you've been searching for. They are loaded with technology starting with the M3NANO Korean carbon blank that is lightweight, powerful and very sensitive. They have been outfitted with spiral wrapped Fuji Alconite K-Guides that are designed for braid.The EVA fore and rear grips have been hourglassed for a custom feel that is ergonomic and will provide excellent grip, even when wet. The Fuji graphite reel seat has a trigger that will accommodate your favorite compact conventional or baitcasting reel. At the bottom is a rubber butt cap that can handle abuse and won't hurt you if you decide to fish the rod in your hip. There are three models and each one is designed for jigging and bottom fishing. Choose the model that is best for your type of fishing based on how much weight you will be dropping down, how fast the current is and the size and strength of the fish are. The lure ratings have been purposefully kept low for optimal results but you can go a little above each one if you are a competent angler. Fish a Dark Matter IO Casting Rod if you are targeting striped bass, mahi mahi, snook, redfish snapper and other similar species. You are going to fall in love with how it feels. 


Dark Matter IO Casting Rods are available in three different models ranging from 7'-7'6". They are rated L, M and MH. This rating might confuse you if you are used to fishing other inshore rods. If that is what you normally fish, these perform one power up. So the L would be a M. These are some of the sharpest rods on the market. The carbon wrap looks amazing and the purple checks add a touch of flair that is missing from most fishing rods. 

For a limited time the 7'3" M is available in Battleship Gray/Orange. This rod is beautiful!

Models: IO701L-C, IO731M-C, IO761MH-C
