Islander 10’6″ Mooching Rod

For salmon anglers in the Pacific Northwest who need their gear to perform at the highest level, this mooching rod is for you. Designed with durability and functionality in mind and finished with premium components, the Islander mooching rod sets new standards in both performance and elegance

Parabolic Fiberglass Blank

By combining a super sensitive tip with a powerful butt section, the slow parabolic action of our mooching rod ensures you will see every bite and feel every head shake on the way to the boat. Once there, in that chaotic moment when the fish is thrashing in the net and the rod is under its most stress, the rugged fiberglass maintains its strength when graphite would shatter.

Premium Components

In order to be selected for this mooching rod, every component of this rod had to live up to our rigorous testing standards. In many cases that meant we had to machine our own. We spared no detail from the titanium carbide guides, to the cork grip with durable non-slip coating, to the anodized aluminum reel seat with cushioned hoods.

Revolutionary Butt Design

Sick of hooking into a big fish and grabbing the rod only to have the butt section fail? Through rigorous testing we developed a custom carbon fiber rear grip and sculpted Delrin butt cap to solve the problem. The result is effortless pickups, year after year, without failure. As an added perk, the butt was designed to fit perfectly in your Scotty rod holders.
