Millerods - Stickee 862H

The Millerods Stickee 862 is the very latest in topwater lure-casting rods. Meticulously designed to deliver maximum casting distance while requiring minimum effort to fish! The Stickee is fine-tuned to achieve casting distance which can be so important when chasing pelagic fish on topwater lures. The school can bust up on bait then be gone before the boat gets close. The 8’6” length provides the best prospect to present a stickbait at a distance when the opportunity arises! This rod is entirely Aussie designed with local baitfish in mind and will cast slightly smaller and lighter stickbaits than many conventional topwater rods. This allows you to 'match the hatch' when it comes to the finicky feeding habits of bluefin and yellowfin tuna! And the guide train of Fuji ‘Slim Ring’ SiC ceramics further enhances this distance through smooth line flow at high speed. Sizes and frame shapes have been individually selected via our exhaustive cast testing to minimise friction and eliminate frame contact. But don’t be fooled that the length will make hard work of fighting fish! The action of the Stickee is specifically designed to fold away under load, leaving the angler with a shorter lever to work against. It is beautifully smooth all the way to the maximum 12kg of drag! The blank construction is from the new X5 material, which utilises nano resin technology with multi-directional fibres. The result on this specific rod model is lighter weight and enhanced balance, along with enhanced strength. The 2pc blank construction with removable handle means that transport and storage is easy with a packed length of only 1.96m. Fitted with x-hard Camoufish EVA that’s custom shaped for fish fighting and minimal hand fatigue, the handle is also shaped to be compatible with rod holders while moving around to locate fish schools. The Fuji pipe reel seat has the LD extended locking hood, and alloy extension to ensure all reels can be easily fitted, and the large Fuji rubber butt cap makes the rod more comfortable to brace against the hip while fighting. ^Millerods recommends the use of the FG knot for connecting braided fishing lines to monofilament leaders. All Ian’s lure casting guide trains are selected with this connecting knot in mind. 8'6" 2pc (1pc blade with detachable handle) Med-Fast action Recommended line PE4-PE6 Ideal lure range 60-140gm Fuji Slim Ring SiC MN/KW multi-guide train (8+1 with #12 smallest size)^
