  Sometimes a great rod just isn’t good enough. Sometimes the discriminating angler is looking for more! Wouldn’t it be nice to know what the fish is thinking before it bites your lure? Well, we can’t guarantee our new Z-Bone rods can read the fish’s thoughts, but once you start fishing with one, you’ll almost believe they can!

In order to create such a work of art, we went to the legendary Gary Loomis to help us create the very best graphite blank known. This Next Generation High Modulus, paper carbon scrim blank is the foundation of the lightest, most sensitive fishing rod made today. Once our craftsmen get that blank in their hands, they meticulously build each rod to unequaled standards. In order to keep this rod the most outstanding tool in your rodbox, we meticulously test and inspect each one for power, torque and proper backbone placement then finely sand and polish each blank for that one of a kind ‘Raw Carbon’ look. This unlacquered exterior is more then just another pretty face! By polishing the graphite instead of coloring, or otherwise adding a coating, it is left to be as sensitive and responsive as possible. Match it with precise guide placement, and our unmatched handle designs and you end up with a one of a kind fishing experience.

To make your rod even more special, visit our ‘Custom Shop’ and design a Z-Bone yourself, and we will craft it to your specifications. We can even have it inscribed with your own signature if you like! If you have questions or need assistance in making YOUR Z-Bone truly yours, feel free to contact us via email or pick up the phone and we’ll work together to create the perfect rod!


Warranty Obviously, a rod as extraordinary as this is intended to function flawlessly, but due to the nature of materials such as graphite, unforeseen, microscopic defects can occur. For that reason we go the extra mile with our 7 point inspection and testing (see below). If even after all that, if something happens to your new rod, our SMART Warranty will protect your investment. (see warranty for details)
