A crisper, more sensitive salmon and steelhead spinning rod
A 9'6" SVX build for medium light salmon and steelhead — drift, float, plug, hardware — for anglers who want the rod to keep up when fish are pressured and the bite is subtle.
Built for real salmon and steelhead water
Designed for drift, float, plug, and hardware fishing across real salmon and steelhead water — the Hoh, Bogachiel, Cowlitz, and Columbia in the Northwest; Salmon River, Niagara, Pere Marquette, and Manistee on the Great Lakes side. SVX builds run a touch crisper than a traditional steelhead rod — faster recovery, sharper bite read — for anglers who want the rod to keep up when fish are pressured and presentations have to be exact.
Crisp recovery and a sharper bite read
SVX is the more sensitive build in the steelhead lineup — fast tip recovery, modern blank feel, and the kind of bite read you only get when the rod telegraphs everything from a tight-line tap to a soft pickup at the end of a drift.
- Fast tip recovery for accurate hooksets
- Crisp sensitivity for tight-line and float presentations
- All-day fishability — light in hand without giving up backbone
Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders
Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders and proven on demanding salmon, steelhead, and saltwater fisheries. At home in Northwest rivers, coastal fisheries, Alaska, the Great Lakes, and anywhere anglers need dependable control over hard-running fish.
