I am a professional fisherman and a Guide and have over 100 rotten real combo that I own. I also collect them. I have to admit that the commander service brought is one of the finer arc rod that they have built. It is incredibly light incredibly sensitive and so far incredibly strong, plus if you purchased the matching reel, which is the same color and has the built-in anti-backlash system it cast a country mile with very little effort a tremendous package for the price you give it a try, no matter what level of fisherman even if you were Shimano guy I think you’ll be impressed at how smooth, long casting and comfortable they are to use.
To all my Vet brethren that are looking for a solid rod that is ultra light. Look no further than the Ark Commander series. I’m only 4 rods away from owning the entire series. If you are active, prior service or retired reach out to Ark rods trust me you can’t go wrong. This company flat out shows how much they care for U.S. Military. Thank you Ark!!!!
We appreciate your service! Enjoy fishing!
This is a great rod. I got it to throw chatterbaits. I wanted a shorter rod that would be easier to target cast with and its awesome. Throws a 3/8 chatterbait and spinnerbait a mile. I really appreciate what ARK Fishing does for veterans, their discounts are amazing. You dont see that kind of discount everywhere.
Wow! These are seriously nice rods. I purchased the Raptor and have been using it for 3/8 to 1/2 oz chatterbait mainly. Extremely sensitive can feel every thump of the blade, which is useful with our waters still being fairly cold. Helps me know exactly how slow I can go and still get it to vibrate. Looks great, nice build quality, and was super well protected in shipping. I'll be buying more.
Ark is one the best rods ont the market, if not the best. I own fifteen Ark rods.
