Defender Spinning Rod

Durability Meets Sensitivity
The Favorite Fishing Defender Rod is built for everyday American anglers who demand toughness without sacrificing feel. Constructed with ultra-sensitive 24-ton Toray carbon blanks, this rod delivers the responsiveness needed to detect even the softest bite while being rugged enough to withstand heavy use from boat to truck.

Advanced Construction for Power and Performance
Engineered with Multi-Layer Structure (MLS) technology, the Defender layers carbon fibers of varying modulus and directions to maximize strength and torsional resistance. An X-shaped carbon tape wrap reinforces the blank, improving durability and power. Stainless-steel guides with nano-lite rings enhance castability and reduce friction, while the lightweight streamlined reel seat provides all-day comfort.

Versatile Models for Every Technique
Available in multiple lengths and powers, from a 6’6” Medium Heavy Fast action to a 7’3” Medium Heavy Fast, the Defender adapts to a wide variety of fishing styles and target species. With lure ratings from 1/4 to 3/4 oz and line tests from 6–14 lb, this rod is a versatile addition to any angler’s arsenal, offering the perfect blend of sensitivity, balance, and strength.
