Tannic Bass Fly Rods

Coming November 1, 2025

Fly fishing for bass within the diverse habitats they hunt requires specialized rods. Technique-specific tapers that handle aggressive lines and feature stiff tips for highly animated presentations that can lift and carry large amounts of line are a must. Uncompromising durability, balanced swing weights, and angler-friendly ergonomics are a must.


The new TANNIC BASS series is designed to deliver all these essentials, along with the line speed, tip recovery, and line control bass bums demand.


Combining bass-centric lengths and rod sizes with the progressive ergonomics necessary to fish hard and long in any bass pursuit – from feeding poppers, sliders, and crayfish patterns to river smallmouth or knocking cabbage tops and pads with giant deer hair frogs, to targeting stripers anywhere they swim or how about harassing jungle peacocks – TANNIC BASS wraps clean, tech-forward aesthetics around sizzling, bass-specific St. Croix performance.

TECHNOLOGY GROUP

  • Advanced materials matrix consisting of high-modulus high-strain SCIV and SCIII carbons, plus premium-quality mid-modulus SCII carbon

  • MITO Graphene unlocks the power of hybrid polymer materials and delivers radical hoop strength, optimized loop stability,and absolute accuracy

  • Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) mandrel tooling provides improved energy transfer, increased strength, and mega-efficient rod recovery

  • Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) utilizes an exotic carbon fiber scrim that adds a magnitude of strength (10x) with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight. ART significantly increases hoop strength and reduces ovaling under severe loads while also supporting Slim-Profile Ferrule (SPF) designs

  • Fortified Resin System (FRS) technology combines a fortified super resin with computer-operated curing ovens delivering precise temperature and time management throughout all stages of blank curing. FRS prevents micro-buckling, keeping carbon fibers in alignment and resulting in blanks tested to be 33% stronger than those built with standard resins and curing methods

  • Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) incorporates precision-cut, curved blank patterns from state-of-the-art computer pattern-cutting machines. Curved TET patterns fit and lay up more precisely on IPC mandrels, resulting in stronger and more consistent actions with improved feel

  • Slim-Profile Ferrule (SPF) design adds herculean strength with minimal added weight
