• For saltwater fishing the Kitchen Sink is a great all-around rod for using baitcast reels and the Coastal Pursuit is a great all-around rod for using spinning reels. Since these rods are both 7' Medium Power with Moderate Fast Action, they are great for throwing a wide variety of coastal baits such as live baits, topwaters, tails, popping cork, and even free lining.

• For freshwater fishing the Drum Stix is a great all-around rod for baitcast and spinning reels. Since the Drum Stix is a 7' Medium Heavy Power with Fast Action, it is great for throwing chatter baits, topwaters, Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Wacky Rig, frogs, crank baits, rattle traps and much more. The Drum Stix also has enough backbone to keep your fish out of structure such as rocks, grass and trees.

In a nutshell, the biggest difference is the approach to Research and Development of the rods.

A 100% of FishStix's R&D is spent to maximize the anglers' experience by building a custom rods for various fishing situations while most Big Box rods focus their R&D on maximizing volume and profit of the business. The difference with the finished product is obvious when you compare components, the combination of power, action and length.

FishStix rods are not mass produced, they are built by hand, made to last and designed through thousands of hours on the water.

Our rods are tested and proven by professional fisherman, guides and recreational anglers.

• Baitcast reels (commonly known for having to hold your thumb on the spool while casting to prevent backlash) provide pinpoint accuracy, smooth casting, and are usually lightweight. The baitcast reel is great for precision casting and easy to hold.

• Spinning reels are more commonly used throughout the fishing industry. They provide the ability to cast into the wind, with the wind, weightless, and even heavy baits with less hassle. Spinning reels are great from introductory to professional anglers.

All of our rods are made with the highest quality graphite providing the most sensitive, lightest weight, and most durable rod.

Lengths play an intracule role in choosing your next rod. Long rods and short rods have their own benefits: 

• Shorter rods are great for wade fishing because they make it easier to cast while standing in deep water and land your fish. Short rods are easier to store in your vehicle, house, and boat. 

• Longer rods provide further casting distance, more leverage on your fish, and usually a longer grip. It is important to note that longer rods are more difficult to store, so be sure you are prepared with storage solutions.
   

Ultimately the length of the rod comes down to angler preference. 

Anglers and industry experts agree that the FishStix rod is the lightest and most durable rod in its class. Anglers love how FishStix improved their casting distance, how their sensitivity increases their hook-up ratio, and love that they can fish all day without arm fatigue due to our light weight rods.

We receive positive feedback from our customers stating how smooth our rods casts, how far our rods cast, and how strong our rods are.
