APX combines a responsive glass\/carbon composite blank with quality components and the distinctive styling Dark Matter is known for, creating an affordable rod that punches well above its price point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAvailable in 5'11\" and 6'11\" models, APX Casting Rods are rated for 15–30 lb line and a versatile 3\/4–8 oz lure range. The composite construction gives the blank the durability and forgiveness of glass while adding carbon for a lighter, more responsive feel. That combination makes APX a versatile choice for everything from casting lures to working jigs, fishing bait, and tackling a wide range of inshore and nearshore species. Every model has a hook keeper and gimbal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitanium oxide guides provide a smooth, durable surface for both braid and mono, while the EVA grips are comfortable, tough, and easy to maintain. A conventional gimbal gives the rod added security when fishing from a rod holder or fighting a better fish, and an integrated hook keeper gives you a convenient place to secure your rig between casts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAPX also looks different from the typical rod in its price class. Root beer and light blue accents give the rod a clean, modern Dark Matter look without going overboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe affordable price and durable construction also make APX an ideal rod to keep around for guests, kids, or anyone just getting into fishing. It’s equally useful as a second setup or backup rod that stays rigged and ready on the boat. And because it fishes like a much more expensive rod, APX isn’t something you’ll outgrow once you become a more experienced angler.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAffordable doesn’t have to mean basic. The Dark Matter APX Casting Rods deliver the performance, components, durability, and style you expect from Dark Matter at a price that makes them easy to fish every day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dark Matter","offers":[{"title":"5'11\" M \/ Root Beer","offer_id":67611886714991,"sku":"APX511XC","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6'11\" M \/ Root Beer","offer_id":67611886747759,"sku":"APX611XC","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/7601\/9311\/files\/DARKMATTERAPXCASTINGROD.jpg?v=1790694317","url":"https:\/\/jandh.com\/products\/dark-matter-apx-casting-rods","provider":"J\u0026H Tackle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
