Our new Carbon II and Carbon Elite II combos just landed—and we couldn’t be more fired up! Years in the making, these next-gen rods and reels have been tested, reworked, and refined with one purpose: to deliver lighter, stronger, more responsive performance than ever before.
And this isn’t just a cosmetic refresh or a few spec tweaks. We've rebuilt these rods and reels from the ground up, with critical input from serious anglers—the kind who fish hard, think sharp, and demand more from their gear.
No matter where you're fishing or what you're targeting, the Carbon II and Carbon Elite II series are dialed in for sheer inshore performance. Keep reading, and we'll break down this new generation of Toadfish rods and reels below.
Carbon II Combo — Lighter, Sharper, Better Toadfish Rods and Reels
The Carbon II Combo is a full-on overhaul of Toadfish rods and reels—lighter, smoother, more responsive, and better sealed, all at an incredibly approachable price point. We cut the overall weight by 15%, which means less fatigue and more casts per session. That drop in weight also translates to tighter control and a stronger connection to your bait and bite, letting you work lures with precision and muscle fish away from oyster bars, mangroves, or any gnarly structure.
The rod delivers that crisp, fast action that you loved from Gen 1, and features more carbon components, a redesigned reel-seat, and tangle-free stainless steel guides. And the reel? Smooth and tough, with a carbon-stack drag system that answers instantly when a fish goes screaming.
Whether you're skipping docks, walking flats, or working shorelines, the Carbon II Combo hits the sweet spot for versatility, performance, and price.
- 1-Piece: 7’2M-XF, 7’2MH-F

Carbon Elite II Rod — Fine-Tuned for Precision
We took everything you loved about the original Carbon Elite—and then turned the dial up. The Carbon Elite II rod features a proprietary 40-ton graphite blend for unmatched strength without the bulk. We kept the fast, responsive taper but shaved off a whopping 25% of the original weight and added backbone through the lower third of the blank, giving you more stopping power and hook-setting leverage.
From soft plastics to topwaters, these rods have the finesse for light presentations and the guts to handle big inshore gamefish. Outfitted with tangle-free guides, a custom carbon reel seat, and full-day comfort grips, this is a serious upgrade for anglers who don’t mess around.
- 1-Piece: 5’11M-XF, 6’8ML-F, 6’8M-XF, 7’2M-XF, 7’2MH-F, 7’4ML-XF, 7’6MH-F
- 2-Piece: 7’2M-XF, 7’2MH-F
Carbon Elite II Reel — Power Meets Control
Engineered for salt and built to last, the Carbon Elite II reel is a sealed system with seven internal seals and IPX5-rated water resistance—ready to stand up to salt, spray, sand, and whatever else gets thrown your way.
We shaved 10% off the overall weight and beefed up the internals: upgraded carbon drag, precision-machined gears, and buttery-smooth cranking. The handle has a new ergonomic shape for better grip and feel, and the low-profile body design keeps everything snug against the rod for balance you can feel from first cast to final retrieve.
At 16 lbs of max drag, this reel brings real stopping power to the table—and earns a permanent place in your rotation.
Reel options: 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000
Carbon Elite II Combo – The Total Inshore Package
The Carbon Elite II Combo is the definition of balance and precision. This setup pairs a 40-ton graphite and carbon rod—designed to load clean and recover fast—with a reel that features a high-performance carbon drag stack, 7 internal seals, and a build optimized for comfort and speed. The result? Every twitch, pause, and hookset feels sharper, faster, and more in tune with the fish.
These new Toadfish rods and reels are built for those "grind" type of adventures: those full-day wade missions trudging through pluff mud, that seemingly endless search for one, day-making bite, and the adrenaline-packed moments when a plan finally comes together and you're hooked up. Whether you’re stalking reds on hard-bottom flats or chasing snook and tarpon deep in the mangroves, the Carbon Elite II Combo helps you fish longer, fish harder, and fish smarter.
- 1-Piece: 5’11M-XF, 6’8ML-F, 6’8M-XF, 7’2M-XF, 7’2MH-F, 7’4ML-XF, 7’6MH-F
- 2-Piece: 7’2M-XF, 7’2MH-F
- 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000
It's Time To Take Your Gear to the Next Level
The new Carbon II and Carbon Elite II series aren’t just upgrades—they’re reinventions. Every material, every seal, every taper and balance point was chosen with one mission: to deliver performance that matches the way you fish.
These new Toadfish rods and reels aren’t for anglers who like quality gear—they’re built for those who depend on it. If you're the kind who fine-tunes your drag, scrutinizes a rod’s loading curve, and demands pinpoint casts every time, this launch is for you.
Already part of the Toadfish family? We guarantee you’re going to love Gen 2. Still looking for the right fit? This might just be the one.
