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.

The RCX 40’s are IGFA style big game trolling rods which emphasize pulling power and durability. The blanks come in at only 4 feet long and are made to be used with a unibutt which brings the total length to 5’6″ which is perfect for most heavy duty applications. These are especially great rods for large bluefin and have the guts to pull in the bigger fish quickly. AFTCO Super Heavy Duty wind on rollers are used on all models so you don’t have to worry about your reel size and any kind of knots or connections you want to wind through them. These roller guides also feature ceramic ball bearings so you don’t have to worry about smoothness and corrosion, they are durable and well regarded in the industry. Since these rods are IGFA style their ratings are pretty conservative, the 130lb XOS model is a lot more powerful than rail rods and traditional trolling rods with the same line class, they require a heavy drag to load up well.
With the growing popularity of bluefin trolling in California these have been very effective especially when paired with larger reels all the way up to 80W’s for the heaviest model. If you’re in northern California looking to give the bluefin a shot, look no further because you won’t find a better rod for landing a personal best. Whether you’re fighting stand-up or in a rod holder these will fill your needs, although a harness is highly recommended for ease of use.
