MAVEN RODS USA - New Gulf CrystalGlass Spinning Rods

First things first is that you're likely familiar with CTS Fishing, who builds salt, in-shore, and fly rods through Maven Rods and they have recently launched a stateside storefront with Maven Rods USA. 

These are premium offerings throughout but in my mind they have always been missing something...until now.

The new Gulf 7' CrystalGlass Spinning Rods are the latest addition to the spinning rod line up, available in three blank weights, and one arrived on my doorstep recently that's just begging for a redfish trip.  Soon.  Soon.  

From the Maven Rods USA website...

Our most popular line of Gulf spinning rods is now available in glass! Back by popular demand, our new line of CrystalGlass™ marries the elegant translucency of a classic fiberglass rod with our extremely high-grade uni-directional S-Glass technology. Perfect for tight situations where precision casting and a heightened sense of feel are paramount. 

Don’t let the name fool you; these "glass" rods are far from delicate, beautiful but built to be fished. Like all Maven rods, our Gulf CrystalGlass™ rods are hand-crafted with our signature minimalist aesthetic and adorned with the highest quality components. Each is carefully constructed with sea foam and blue binds in our world-class facility in Auckland, New Zealand. The three-piece construction allows you to easily tote this rod wherever your next adventure leads you. 

Available in three blank weights for your favorite lake, stream, or honey hole:

• 1 - 3lb | 1/8 - 3/8oz
• 2 - 4lb | 1/4 - 5/8oz
• 4 - 8lb | 3/8 - 1oz 

Length: 7’0”
Finish: Sanded natural CrystalGlass™
Includes a Maven cotton drill rod bag & Maven Rod Tube

Price - $585.00
