CMD68MRC
The newly designed Commander Series rods are built with our 4th generation rod blanks, featuring 40T HM carbon fiber for exceptional strength, sensitivity, and performance.
Each rod is equipped with a sleek, high-density EVA handle and an ARK custom reel seat, ensuring a secure, ergonomic grip for superior comfort and control. Outfitted with ARK Stainless Steel Tangle-Free Guides, NanoForce™ Rings, and clean-cut guide wrapping, these rods deliver unmatched performance—56% lighter, 38% thinner, and 65% stronger than traditional ceramic rings. This cutting-edge design not only enhances durability but also maximizes sensitivity, allowing you to detect even the subtlest bites with precision.
Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the Commander Series offers the reliability and quality that serious anglers demand.

Over half my rods are all Ark. Open till recently their warranty department was the best in the business but now they are charging me for rides. I sent back. Do yourself a favor. Go to Bass Pro and stick with Johnny Morris.
Thank you for being a long-time ARK Fishing customer and for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate your support.
We’d like to clarify that we have always offered a free replacement period on our rods within the warranty coverage window. After that free replacement period has passed, a replacement fee applies, which helps cover product and shipping costs. This policy has been in place for some time and was not a recent change.
Our goal is always to stand behind our products and provide fair, reliable warranty service. If you have any questions about your specific warranty claim, we encourage you to reach out to our team directly so we can review it with you.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Amazing!!
First off, great rods. Amazing quality. Zero complaints in that area. The only issue I have, and its like a "non-problem", is that I bought the commander series WMD. 6'10" med/heavy extra fast tip. There is nothing heavy about this rod...
Took out 1st trip today and this thing is an amazing MEDIUM rod.
Better than any medium I have ever owned but its waaaay not a heavy action rod. I also bought the Wes Logan signature 7'3" med/heavy fast tip "literally anything" rod. That is the absolute best rod Ive ever fished with, hands down. These two M/H rods are miles apart. Both amazing rods in their own area but I can not throw the same baits on both rods and they are only 5" different and fast tip vs extra fast tip. One could handle 3/4oz jigs and the other might break in one trip throwing 3/4oz. I assumed both these rods would not be the same by no means but this was a shocking difference. I have never had a med/heavy rod with that light of action but it will find its place in the starting lineup for sure, just wish it was it set up closer to the other one.
Pretty good rod nice sensitivity and great casting distance. I know the rod says 1/4-1oz but I've been able to throw a 1/8oz underspin around 60ft without a problem. I haven't caught anything over 3 pounds on it yet but ima able to detect bites from smaller fish without problem.
These are extremely light and durable rods. I’m using the Ranger Version now and I’m loving it. I’m throwing a spinner bait with it and it not only is great for accuracy but I can launch it a long distance as well. I’ve paired it with a Gravity 3 Reel and it’s a perfect match.
