*** NEW ROD LAUNCH: INTRODUCING THE ELIMINATOR X80, X90 & X100 ***
We are pleased to announce the release of three incredible new Eliminator rods. We had the difficult task of adding three new rods to the range that take another big step forward in performance. Producing these new blanks has been a significant process; we have accumulated thousands of hours of R&D. We've kept designing, tweaking, and rigorously testing until our own very high standards were satisfied. The results have been groundbreaking.

These new rods all feature an overlap joint and a compound taper on the butt section. The first to do so in our modern range of saltwater rods.

The X80 sits perfectly between the Eliminator T800 and the T900, filling that niche. The versatile rods feature a carbon tip and are built at that comfortable 13ft 6" length. With a 4-7oz casting ratio (+bait), this is a perfect rod for open surf beaches where you'll encounter clean to mixed ground.

The X90 is a real winner, with its 14ft 6" length and 4- 7oz casting ratio, will please those who want us to make a T900 with a carbon tip or those who want something in between the T900 and T1000. It may be the best mixed to rough ground we have ever made at our factory in Washington, England. Our team members are raving about it.

The X100 is a beast, an out and out rough grounder, that has already broken a UK tournament casting record in the hands of Jason Carter. 14ft 6" might just be a sweep spot in terms of casting proficiency, it really sends a lead a long way. If you are a conger, tope, or common skate angler, you'll love this. Material upgrades and refinements make this powerful tool a brilliant option. Casts up to 8oz + bait.
