SuperSeeker
S-Glass, Carbon Fiber & EH04 Resin
Combine to Create Seeker's Very Best Rods
Seeker
has been busy designing a new series of rods, the Super Seekers. They
began introducing the rods this year (2007), with new models being
manufactured almost each week. They have produced the majority of the blanks
(as of this writing). The
new rods will be one step beyond the Black Steel series, with heavier
construction, guides and material changes. These
are truly The State of Art blanks and
rods combining the classic look
with the latest technology in materials. The blank color is brown with a
tangerine finish. All blanks have a double-coat of epoxy finish heavy duty
double foot guides... The aim of Seeker is simply to produce the best rods
ever manufactured.
State
of
Art Materials
120 carbon fiber and “S” Glass with our new EH04
Epoxy Resin System. Seeker refers to this new material as Carbon-fiber
Superglass, and it's appropriate.
By using carbon fiber transitioning into an
“S” glass tip we have built the most powerful and fastest recoil blanks Seeker
has ever built. The new rods also feature American Tackle Company's new Titan
solid titanium frame ring guides which are 100% corrosion resistant. They are
also 65% lighter than standard guides and are the most flexible live bait and
standup boat guides on the market. The roller rods use AFTCO guides. The grip
material is not hypolon, it's a new compound that's much more functional and
longer lived. You'll notice that your hands don't become as slippery on the rod,
there's no twisting, and it's also a more comfortable material.
These
rods were built to match today's
powerful two speed reels such as Avet and Accurate. The grip material is totally
new, as is the blank material which incorporates the finest fiberglass as well
as the very best carbon fiber made and meshed with the new resin formula from
Seeker. Even the reel seats are top drawer, not composite but rather aluminum.
The rods are uncompromising in terms of quality and fishability. These are not a
graphite rod, or a graphite composite. They are a totally new design,
incorporating many of the unique benefits of the other materials but with some
added enhancements to produce a stronger rod that's also relatively light in
weight (though that's not the main design focus of these rods). They are made
for strength, lifting power, and durability. Simply put, they are designed and
constructed to be the very best rods on the market, without compromise.
Why
use S glass and 120 Carbon Fiber? Because when blanks break they usually break
on the bottom side of the blank. The top side of the blank can stretch more than
the bottom side can compress. By using the “S” glass tip and the EH04 resin
system it gives these blanks three times the compression strength of “E” glass
and produces faster recoil.
Three years in testing has produced the most
powerful and fastest recoil blanks and
rods Seeker has ever built.
We also sell the unfinished Super Seeker
rod blanks. You can check them out on our

NEW: Seeker
Rod Company Has Done it AGAIN! Long range
fishermen asked for it, and they built it. The
newest Seeker rod for taking on big tuna is the
company's seven foot 2x4.
This rod incorporates the best of both worlds.
The 2x4 is, in many ways a marriage of two of
Seeker's most popular blanks. The tip of the 2x4
is based off an XXH tip section. That tip allows
some flex at heavier lines, providing better
bait presentation through longer casts, while
also serving as a bit of a shock absorber for
anglers who like to fish short topshots. The BIG
aft section of the rod is based off a XXXXH butt
section that has been drawn out to make a seven
foot rod. This makes the 2x4 about a foot longer
than your traditional stand up rod in it's line
class. This new rod is made from Seeker's famous
S glass, BH04 Resin system, unique grip
material, famous forgiveness and strength. The
right blank, carbon fiber and S Glass, the right
components and guide set - titanium and matched
with the right action and design. The longer
more comfortable foregrip helps while fighting
the fish, utilizing the flex in the longer tip,
and the motion of the boat while resting the rod
on the rail.
The
2x4 has been tested extensively by Seeker's
staff, and already has 300# plus fish to it's
credit. It's a must have in the serious angler's
arsenal. It's perfect for making long casts with
a mackerel on those
days where bait presentation is everything, be
it sliding on spots of porpoise or anchoring up
on one of the banks. While it's made for our
West Coast style of long range fishing, this rod
will have serious application for our East Coast
and Gulf Clients going after larger fish. Put
the 2x4 to work for you. The rod if triple
wrapped, has an aluminum gimbal as one would
expect for this class of fishing rod. It's
stout, but surprisingly comfortable in the
hands. Fish 80-100# easily on this rod, and it
can bounce up or down a class given the
lightness of the tip and capability of the butt.
