Max Cast Offshore Big Game Spinning Rods
Our Max Cast series of saltwater spinning rods emphasizes casting ability -- at the sacrifice of some power as reflected in lower drag ratings compared to the equivalent Max Power rods. The use of 95 to 97% carbon fiber blanks, which provide the superior casting performance, also makes these rods more transparent to input, i.e., you will feel the bite better as compared to the carbon fiber & e-glass rods. Additionally, Max Cast rods are 3 to 8 ounces lighter in weight than the corresponding Max Power rods -- making them an excellent all around choice for working lures, poppers and jigs. Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Pushing the limits of bluewater spinning with up to 33 lbs. of drag requires a precise fit of the rod to both you and your particular reel. A few simple choices, included in the price of each rod, allow you to maximize the performance of your rod:
- choose the material and length of your fore grip and rear grip;
- choose your reel seat (includes matching gimbal with cover);
- personalize your rod with your name, boat, fish decal, etc.; and,
- tell us the make and model of your reel so that we can adjust guide spacing for optimal casting performance
The Max Cast series generally uses Fuji® silicon carbide guides (the MN, & LB series) and tops (the MN & HN series); while some rods are offered with the Alps/Batson recessed ring SS316 framed guides and tops. Build details, including our 14 coat finish process, and the reasoning behind the choices BlueWater makes are detailed in The BlueWater Way. Each rod is made to order and ships in 4 to 5 weeks -- just enough time to get into shape before the real work-out begins.
