MILLERODS SWIMFREAK RB

$380.00

Introducing the SwimFreaK RB 661, a meticulously designed 6'6" one-piece rod that embodies Ian Miller’s passion for freshwater river lure casting, particularly for targeting wild Australian bass. Crafted for precision and performance, this medium-action rod excels with hard-bodied lures, especially smaller glidebaits and swimbaits. Ian's extensive experience with larger American bass baits has fueled his fascination with the effectiveness of 100mm glidebaits, leading to the development of this exceptional rod tailored for the unique challenges of river fishing.

The SwimFreaK RB boasts a thoughtful design that allows for long, accurate casts, essential for navigating the tight spaces and isolated structures often found along riverbanks. Its slightly stiffer tip is adept at casting heavier lures while maintaining a softer mid-section, which helps protect the delicate hook holds of treble hooks. This balance ensures that you can effectively work your lure while maintaining sensitivity and control.

Built on a super-sensitive blank, the SwimFreaK RB enables anglers to feel every subtle movement of their glidebaits, enhancing your ability to gauge how well your lure is performing. The ergonomic skeleton reel seat and custom-shaped x-firm blue Camoufish EVA handle provide comfort during long casting sessions, making it a pleasure to fish with.

The rod's conventional Fuji Fazlite 11+1 multi-guide train, featuring a small guide size of #4.5, facilitates smooth line flow, whether you’re using fluorocarbon lines or braid with leader combinations. This setup not only enhances casting and retrieving but also optimizes the fighting experience when reeling in larger bass from the dense river cover.

While primarily designed for glide and swimbaits, the SwimFreaK RB 661 is versatile enough for any hard-bodied lure within its recommended weight range, including topwater options. The custom anti-tangle hook keeper ensures that your lures are secured between casts, allowing you to focus on the thrill of fishing. 

Elevate your river fishing experience with the SwimFreaK RB 661, a rod that combines sensitivity, balance, and power, making it an invaluable addition to any angler's arsenal.
