SPATHE Long Ranger Slow Pitch Jigging Rod Introducing the inline concept for slow pitch jigging — NO GUIDES! The Next Evolution in Slow Pitch Rod Design Spathe Rods, powered by Temple Reef, brings innovation to a new frontier with the Long Ranger — a revolutionary slow pitch rod featuring an inline, guide-less tip section . Designed around Temple Reef’s renowned 70/30 two-piece joint (shared with the Innovate and Grand Cru series), the Long Ranger delivers the same flawless action, powerful backbone, and extended length ideal for long-fall presentations and enhanced maneuverability on today’s long-range boats. Inline Tip Technology — No Guides, No Tip Wrap The Long Ranger replaces the traditional guide train with a center-bored tip where the line feeds directly through the blank. This breakthrough design offers significant advantages: Zero tip wrap — nothing to tangle during the pitch Natural, unrestricted bend curve — the blank flexes exactly as engineered Built-in spine alignment — tip section includes a spine marker for precise assembly This innovative inline system delivers a crisp, fluid action that elevates long-fall jigging performance and allows for more direct control over your jig. Lightweight Power, All-Day Comfort Weighing under 6oz (180g) , the Long Ranger is remarkably light yet strong enough to stop almost anything that swims. Whether you’re dropping jigs over deep structure or covering ground on long-range boats, this rod offers the perfect blend of power and endurance. The Long Ranger also features a next-generation rear grip designed specifically for “under-arm” slow pitch technique — contoured for casting control, slim for comfort during extended battles, and engineered for superior balance. Enhanced Sensitivity with DSS™ The Long Ranger is equipped with Temple Reef’s Direct Sensory System™ (DSS) , enhancing sensitivity and reducing overall weight. Every lift, pitch, and long fall provides clearer feedback and heightened response.
