Flats Bastard™ Spinning Rod

The Flats Bastard™ was born from a single goal: to create the ultimate finesse spinning rod for technical inshore fishing. For decades, fly fishing has dominated the flats, capitalizing on the stealth, precision, and near-weightless presentations that traditional spinning gear simply can't compete with. That’s where the Flats Bastard changes the game—a perfectly tuned ultra finesse spinning rod.

Lightweight, powerful, and precise, this one-of-a-kind rod is a perfectly tuned weapon for chasing inshore gamefish in skinny water. It delivers the stealth, precision, and near-weightless presentations required to land those spooky fish—while maintaining the power, control, and familiarity of spinning tackle.

With an extended blank and extra-fast action, this rod is built to launch lures as light as 1/32 oz—quietly, accurately, and with minimal disturbance. It opens the door to a new style of spin fishing, where finesse and presentation is paramount.

Whether you're sight-casting a sunlit flat for bonefish or targeting tailers on a flood tide, the Flats Bastard gives you the ultimate tool to fish shallow water with total confidence—and it’s seriously fun to fish with.
