Dark Matter OB Surf Spinning Rods

Dark Matter OB Surf Spinning Rods are going to introduce finesse surfcasting to a lot of anglers! Based off of Japanese surf rods, the OB is perfect for throwing lighter lures from the open beach. If you're throwing SP Minnows, small bucktails or small jigs for fluke, albies, striped bass or snook, then you have to try one of these rods! The OB weighs just 7 ozs and features Fuji Alconite K Guides and a short custom butt that is different from what you have seen on surf rods in the past. Instead of pairing it with a heavy 6000 spinning reel, the OB is made for you to fish with a 3000 or 4000 size inshore spinning reel. By cutting so much weight you'll be able to fish much longer than with a traditional set up. The blank is designed to handle light lures and in combination with the guides will deliver extremely long casts! Much longer than what you would get with a traditional surf combo. With practice you'll be able to dump most of the braid on a 4000 size spinning reel. By casting longer and with less effort you'll be able to stay in the strike zone longer which will lead to more hookups! The butt on the OB is short like what you would find on an inshore rod. No more putting the rod between your legs and ending up with an aching back after a few hours on the water. You fish the rod in your hip and it gives you complete control. While the tip is extremely sensitive, the back end of the rod has a crazy amount of power so you will be able to control the fish. If you fish open beaches or from a pier, buy a Dark Matter OB Surf Spinning Rod!

Dark Matter OB Surf Spinning Rods come in 10" and have a 50/50 split. When you put the rod pieces together there will be some space showing. This is completely normal. Just twist the pieces together firmly but don't over do it. You do not need a lot of force. Due to the lightweight design, the OB is more fragile than a traditional surf rod. While it is extremely powerful, it cannot handle as much abuse as a traditional surf rod. Take good care of it and it will last a very long time!
