Built for power, control, and confidence when targeting big fish, the Clam Technique Specific Predator Rods are designed specifically for using with automatic hook setting devices like the Clam Predator tip up when targeting large gamefish. Featuring a durable solid fiberglass blank, these rods deliver the strength needed to handle aggressive strikes, heavy baits, and hard-fighting fish while maintaining a smooth, forgiving action.
Titanium recoil stripper guides and oversized fly-style guides ensure reliable line flow in freezing conditions, while the extended 9.5" Grade A cork handle with a locking reel seat provides added leverage and security when fishing heavier setups. Designed to pair perfectly with automatic hook setting devices or to be used as a large gamefish deadstick, these rods are optimized for heavy line and high-stress scenarios.
Available in three powerful actions, Technique Specific Predator Rods are ideal for targeting large species with live or dead bait, using 8–10+ lb line, and fishing inside shelters or outside—making them the go-to choice when strength and dependability matter most.
