IS86-M6 Range Snipe - Built to expand both the physical range you can cover and the strategic approaches you can employ, the IS86-M6 Range Snipe is a high-modulus all-round rod designed for aggressive, wide-angle fishing.

The result is a highly direct feel and exceptional sensitivity, keeping the angler constantly connected to the lure.

This rod demonstrates its true value in situations requiring long casts of large lures, such as 14~16 cm big minnows and bigbaits up to 2 oz. in large rivers and open areas. It is easy to firmly put the lure's weight on the rod, and it can achieve significant casting distances with a range of lures, from lures in the 10g range to 2 oz jointed lures. The sharp rod action enables the rod to cut through the wind, allowing anglers to swing strongly even in strong winds. The precise casting control unique to 9 ft. rods makes this rod good for tight approach, and its delicate lure action can be used for technical fishing. 

IS88-M9 Magnum Bullet - The defining characteristic of this rod is its castability, as it is able to launch larger lures like big minnows with the explosive force of a bullet despite it's smaller frame. Unlike typical Asian seabass rods, lures weighing from 50g to 80g can be fished, even in adverse weather conditions, allowing the angler to reach "that extra 5 meters" that was previously unattainable. The high-response blank delivers exceptional sensitivity, transmitting the subtle vibrations of lure wobbles and even the slightest changes in current. It also provides the control needed to effortlessly work even large topwater plugs with a walk-the-dog action. The blank also give the angler the backbone need to confidently tackle unexpected trophy fish. Despite this power, the rod can still cast as low as 10g.
