Charter Special is a five-model boat-rod series positioned as a durable, economical option for charter operations needing repeatable performance across many trips. Two power and length classes are offered, all one-piece. The 6'8" group is rated Medium Heavy class at 2 to 6 oz lure and 15 to 30 lb line, in casting (C-68) and spinning (S-68) builds. The 7'3" group is Medium Heavy at 3 to 8 oz lure and 20 to 40 lb line, in casting (C-73MH) and spinning (S-73MH) builds. Construction is nano carbon with a moderate-fast action positioned for accurate casting and keeping fish pinned. Stated targets include tautog and blackfish, striper, cobia, drum, yellowtail, mutton snapper, red snapper, and grouper. The series is built around value and durability for inshore and nearshore boat fishing rather than premium components.
