Some rods are built for one job. The Middle Man was built for the bite.

At 6'9", this is the rod serious inshore anglers reach for when they need a little more — more reach, more feel, more distance — without giving up the finesse to work a tail right. Medium-Light power paired with Moderate-Fast action gives you the sensitivity to detect the subtlest strike and the backbone to put fish on the deck. Whether you're throwing paddle tails on a jighead, walking topwaters, or twitching a sinking bait through the grass, The Middle Man handles it all with authority.

That extra 3 inches over a shorter setup isn't just length — it translates to a softer tip for lifelike lure movement, reduced fatigue on long days, and casting distance that reaches the fish before they know you're there.

Now upgraded with Titanium guides on a lightweight blank, The Middle Man is built to take the salt and give nothing back. Corrosion-resistant, smooth-tracking, and tournament-tested on the Gulf Coast — this is what an inshore baitcast rod is supposed to feel like.

Captain Hunter's rod of choice when throwing tails. There's a reason for that.

Do you have an "all-around" rod for any type of fishing?

YES!

  • 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.

What is the difference between FishStix and "big box stores" fishing poles?

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.

What is the difference between baitcast and spinning reel?
  • 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.

What material are your rods made out of?

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

Why are some of your rods longer or shorter than others?

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.
