The Skeleton Nano is CastAway's flagship platform, built on the proprietary Unidirectional Carbon Nano blank. Components include a Sea Guide split reel seat, CastAway Static Zoned Guide Spacing, a Grade A split-grip cork handle, and Sea Guide SS316 stainless tangle-free guides with hard zirconium rings. The series is the broadest in the catalog at 17 models and spans both inshore and bass duty. Powers run from Light (SKNSLS7 spinning, SKNSLC7 casting) through Medium and Medium Heavy up to Heavy (SKN73H, SKN7H Mag Heavy), in lengths from 6'5" to 7'6". Several models are cut for specific bass techniques: the SKNDSM7 is a drop-shot and shaky-head spinning rod rated 1/4 to 5/8 oz on 8-17 lb line, the SKNFP76 is a 7'6" punching and flipping stick, the SKNSB610 is a 6'10" spinnerbait rod, the SKNGHB73 is a grass-master braid rod, and the SKNTW69 is a 6'9" topwater build. Inshore and all-purpose Medium spinning and casting rods round out the line, along with two shorter wader models (SKNSW65ML, SKNSW67FML). Every Skeleton Nano is priced at $149.99, the top of CastAway's standard catalog.
