Apex Predator The Apex Predator is the mother of all predator rods. Built to tame monster fish, it handles equally well with smaller specimens too. The Apex can be fished at 10ft or 11.5ft. The shorter version is perfect boat fishing, stalking or casting lures. When used at is longer length it can be used on rivers, medium range on lakes when the extra length aids setting the hooks. A powerful through action rod with a reserve of power should you need it.

Deadbait Classic Deadbaiting remains the No.1 tactic for predator anglers, and the sheer numbers of big pike which fall to this approach each season justify its enduring popularity. The 12ft 2¾lb Classic is the lighter of two deadbait rods in the Purist range. Features include cork/duplon handle, Shimano reel seat, six perfectly spaced and sized guides plus hook keeper and carbon line clip.
Deadbait Distance On waters where pike lay further from the bank, the 12ft 3lb Distance rod will prove to be a better option than the 2¾lb Classic for the deadbait angler. Likewise if larger baits such as Mackerel and Herring are the choice, it’s extra power propels them further on the cast, without fear of overloading the rod or ripping the hooks out. The high grade fixtures are otherwise identical to the Classic.
