MaxSpiral™ 40T Carbon — Strength Without Sacrifice

30% Lighter. Built to Dominate.

Four precision-wrapped carbon layers eliminate rod twist, boost casting accuracy, and deliver serious strength without the bulk.

Feel every strike. Control every fight.

  • Best rod I’ve owned in 20 years

    "You feel everything. I’ve been fly fishing since the late '90s, and nothing’s felt this sharp or this light. ShadowStrike casts like a rocket and tracks beautifully, even in wind. Landed a 48cm grayling on a dry last week — perfect fight control."

  • Punchy, smooth, and crazy accurate

    "Took it out on the Loire chasing trout — APEX nailed the build. Fast action, great recovery, and it just launches line. The cork grip’s super comfy even in cold. You can tell this thing’s made for real anglers, not just looks."

  • My go-to river rod now

    "Wasn’t sure at first with the price, but wow — this thing delivers. Used it for dries and small nymph rigs on the Dee, and it handled both flawlessly. The MaxSpiral carbon really makes it feel alive in your hand. Love the travel tube, too."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kinds of fishing rods are there?

There are several types, each built for different fishing styles:

  • Fly rods – for casting light flies with precision
  • Spinning rods – beginner-friendly and versatile
  • Baitcasting rods – for heavier lures and advanced control
  • Trolling rods – for dragging lures behind a boat
  • Telescopic rods – compact, collapsible travel rods
  • Surf rods – long-distance casting from the shore
  • Ice rods – short, sensitive rods for vertical jigging
  • Boat/sea rods – heavy-duty for deep sea or big-game fishing

How do I choose the right rod for my fishing style?

  • Fly rod – for finesse fishing in rivers or lakes (trout, grayling)
  • Spinning rod – all-around option for freshwater species (perch, bass)
  • Baitcasting rod – for big lures, pike, musky, or precise lure work
  • Trolling rod – if you fish from a boat and cover wide areas
  • Telescopic rod – if you need a portable setup for travel
  • Surf rod – when fishing from the beach or rocky coast
  • Ice rod – for winter fishing through the ice
  • Sea rod – for heavy, offshore fish like cod, tuna, or halibut

How should I clean and store my fly rod?

Rinse with fresh water after use (especially after saltwater). Let it dry fully before packing. Store in a rod tube to protect from damage and warping.

What’s the difference between rod weights (e.g., 4WT vs. 5WT)?

Rod weight refers to the size of the fly line it’s designed to cast. Lower weights (like 3–4WT) are ideal for small streams and delicate presentations, while heavier rods (6WT and up) handle bigger flies and stronger fish.

What does “fast action” mean in a fly rod?

A fast action rod bends mostly near the tip, making it more powerful and responsive — great for long casts, windy days, and quick hook sets.
