The Nova Chrome Series is our own line of rod blanks which after about 18 months of design and testing, we feel are the greatest quality and performance blanks made in the world.  Our blanks are hand rolled in the USA,  
 
The IMX1562 is an all around great Steelhead rod for the Great Lakes  region.  It is a 13' rod, rated for 6-10lb leader.  The tip section is  soft enough to protect light leaders, while the butt section is stout  and can turn large steelhead to help the angler control his fish. This rod has lots of Reserve power in the bottom end, allowing steelhead fisherman to control their catch better.
 
We utilize CFX carbon fiber grips along with a recessed carbon fiber reel seat.  With this combination, this rod is one of the lightest in the industry. 
 
The Carbon Fiber reel seat is a "game changer" as it does not get cold in your hand during those long winter days.
 
Each  rod is hand built in the USA.  We utilize the best available components  and add attention to detail in all of our rods.  Items such as over  sized guides for the Great Lakes Region, which help reduce ice build up  in the guides when fishing in below freezing temperatures.
