Delivery & Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.

What countries do you ship to?

We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.

How long will it take to get my order?

Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.

What carriers do you ship with?

We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

Prop 65 Warning ⚠
  • 2-Piece Butt Joint Design
  • Heavy Duty Fuji SIC Guides
  • Perfect Action for Stickbaits
  • Ideal for GT & Tuna Fishing
  • Free Domestic Shipping

The Ronin is a purpose built stickbait rod used for targeting the biggest GT’s and tuna. They have the perfect length and action for not only casting but also working the topwater lures to get the most bites. Once you’re on a fish they have a ton of pulling power and leverage, capable of making quick work of 100lb+ GT and tuna. They have a more moderate bend with a lot of recoil to tire a fish out, this brings the leverage closer to you making it easier to have a long fight. The rods use high quality Fuji SiC guides which are braid proof and will cast a knot with ease. These rods are very lightweight despite being capable of fishing heavier line up to 100lb, this makes them a joy to fish all day with less fatigue.

These rods use Toray Nanoalloy tech in the blank to make for a stronger and lighter resin system, combined with high quality 24T and 30T carbon fiber they are a powerful, lightweight and durable package. The guide train is arranged in a way that makes casting knots a non-issue, the larger guide sizes let you run a longer leader and not worry about the knot getting snagged along the way. An important and often overlooked feature on these kinds of rods is the reel seat, these feature a high quality Fuji reel seat that has been a standard for heavy duty lure rods. Instead of using the longer LD nut that used to be very popular these use a more reliable back-stop nut that ensures that your reel isn’t coming off during a fight and there’s no way to loosen it while fishing. Along with this they have a longer extension tube on the bottom to make sure you can use larger spinning reels that have a longer reel foot without interfering with the grips.
