Millerods Pitch MHS

These rods originated from a custom rod project developed to meet a very specific fishing challenge. An angler needed a spinning rod capable of casting slightly smaller lures to Murray cod he was spotting on LiveScope, while still having the strength to handle powerful fish. The result was a light-lure yet cod-capable design with far broader potential than first expected.

After building and fishing an early prototype, Ian Miller quickly recognised the versatility of the design and its suitability for many applications beyond cod. The Pitch series has since evolved into a platform capable of targeting a wide range of species, including barramundi, mulloway, snapper and more, with the expectation that anglers will push these rods into some truly exciting territory.

The blanks were designed from the ground up specifically for the Pitch series, delivering easy casting performance combined with the power needed to turn strong fish away from heavy cover when required. The shorter length makes these rods ideal for vertical fishing with electronics, kayak fishing, and any situation where precise control with lighter lures is needed to tempt big, aggressive fish.

Light, well balanced and highly sensitive in the hand, the rod is effortless to cast yet becomes a powerful tool once a fish is hooked. The full Fuji reel seat with carbon locking hood provides a secure connection, while the slightly extended fore-grip offers added leverage when needed. Custom-shaped x-firm EVA grips in the signature blue Camoufish pattern and a longer butt section finished with the Millerods anti-skid butt cap deliver comfort and control during long sessions.

The KR anti-tangle guide train features a smallest ceramic size of #6, allowing smooth line flow and reliable braid-to-leader knot clearance when using low-profile connecting knots. Designed for anglers chasing versatility, precision and power, the Pitch rods are built to meet the demands of modern lure fishing across a wide range of species and techniques.
