TS Series Dead Meat Rods
TS Series Dead Meat Rods
Out of stock
Built for anglers who rely on bait and deadstick presentations, the Clam Technique Specific Dead Meat Rods are designed to handle heavier loads while still providing clear bite detection. Constructed on a durable solid fiberglass blank, these rods offer the strength and forgiveness needed when fishing with minnows or larger baits—without sacrificing sensitivity at the tip.
A hi-vis bite-detecting noodle tip makes subtle takedowns easy to see, while titanium recoil stripper guides and oversized fly-style guides improve durability and line flow in cold conditions. Premium Grade A cork handles are sized appropriately for each rod length, providing balance and comfort whether fishing inside a shelter, outside, or hole-hopping.
Available in three medium-action models, Technique Specific Dead Meat Rods are ideal for jigging or deadsticking with minnows, fishing jigs and spoons up to 1/4 oz, and running 3–8 lb line—making them one of the most versatile options in the Technique Specific lineup for targeting a wide range of species.

Noodle Rods
Designed for anglers who demand maximum bite detection, Clam Noodle Rods are built specifically for panfish and perch fishing. An ultra-sensitive hi-vis noodle tip highlights the lightest bites, while the lightweight fiberglass blank provides the backbone needed for solid hooksets. The result is exceptional sensitivity, control, and confidence when targeting finicky fish through the ice with the noodle rod.
Spring Bobber Rod
Engineered for finesse presentations, Clam Spring Bobber Rods help anglers detect subtle up-bites and slack-line strikes that often go unnoticed. Built on lightweight graphite blanks and finished with precision nitinol spring bobber tips, these rods deliver exceptional visual bite detection while maintaining responsiveness and control for light-line panfish applications.

Clam Technique Specific Rods are designed to match the way anglers fish. Available in multiple actions and lengths, each rod is purpose-built for specific presentations, species, and conditions. Built on responsive graphite blanks, they provide the sensitivity, balance, and performance needed to fish confidently whether inside a shelter, on open ice, or in a permanent house.
