The Millerods Stickee 862 is the very latest in topwater lure-casting rods. Meticulously designed to deliver maximum casting distance while requiring minimum effort to fish!
The Stickee is fine-tuned to achieve casting distance which can be so important when chasing pelagic fish on topwater lures. The school can bust up on bait then be gone before the boat gets close. The 8’6” length provides the best prospect to present a stickbait at a distance when the opportunity arises!
This rod is entirely Aussie designed with local baitfish in mind and will cast slightly smaller and lighter stickbaits than many conventional topwater rods. This allows you to 'match the hatch' when it comes to the finicky feeding habits of bluefin and yellowfin tuna!
And the guide train of Fuji ‘Slim Ring’ SiC ceramics further enhances this distance through smooth line flow at high speed. Sizes and frame shapes have been individually selected via our exhaustive cast testing to minimise friction and eliminate frame contact.
But don’t be fooled that the length will make hard work of fighting fish! The action of the Stickee is specifically designed to fold away under load, leaving the angler with a shorter lever to work against. It is beautifully smooth all the way to the maximum 12kg of drag!
The blank construction is from the new X5 material, which utilises nano resin technology with multi-directional fibres. The result on this specific rod model is lighter weight and enhanced balance, along with enhanced strength.
The 2pc blank construction with removable handle means that transport and storage is easy with a packed length of only 1.96m.
Fitted with x-hard Camoufish EVA that’s custom shaped for fish fighting and minimal hand fatigue, the handle is also shaped to be compatible with rod holders while moving around to locate fish schools.
The Fuji pipe reel seat has the LD extended locking hood, and alloy extension to ensure all reels can be easily fitted, and the large Fuji rubber butt cap makes the rod more comfortable to brace against the hip while fighting.
^Millerods recommends the use of the FG knot for connecting braided fishing lines to monofilament leaders. All Ian’s lure casting guide trains are selected with this connecting knot in mind.
Ian Miller and his brand 'Millerods' have been leading the rod designing scene in Australia for decades. Ian's custom rods have pride of place in the collections of many anglers around the globe including keen anglers seeking every possible advantage they can get over both the fish and other anglers - as well as some of the highest profile fishing personalities in the country!
Ian's designs are so sought after that his personally handcrafted rods are incredibly hard to get, with keen anglers waiting months and even years to have their dream fishing rods created.
Now, Millerods introduces the 'Production Rod' range, comprising some of Ian's most popular designs in a fully imported fishing rod. Same blank designs, same components, same high performance and same distinctive appearance - all wrapped up in a super-high quality build!
So wait no longer - you can purchase direct right here!!
The Production Rod range includes some all-time best sellers, and some brand new models that Ian has specifically designed for their first release in this range of fully imported rods.
All-new blank actions and powers for highest performance in new blends of graphite to minimise weight yet maintain the robust features required. Most rod models are now 2pc for ease of travel and storage, and the construction format is 'removable handle' which provides the superior technical design of rod blank ferrules.
Ian's trademarked 'Control Freak' style handles are incorporated to maximise sensitivity and comfort while reducing weight and are 'minimalist' by design - no excessive material or weight are present. All seat parts are original Fuji Tackle components, with custom made trims.
These handle designs are presented in the Millerods instantly recognisable custom 'Camoufish' pattern in x-firm EVA material. This EVA is hard wearing, easier to fish with, and looks great!
All guide trains are original Fuji Tackle. This includes the latest 'Fazlite', 'Torzite' and 'Slim Ring' ceramics, as well as Fuji titanium frames on the light saltwater rod models.
All lure casting and spinning rods incorporate custom made Hook Keepers designed by Ian to be easy to use, minimalist, and totally tangle proof. Whether you're hanging a 1 gm soft plastic or 13oz swimbait on your rod, you can rely on the hook keeper being in the right place and the correct size for the lure.
The BeastFreak Australian model was the first of our Production Range which has now been joined by rods specifically designed for Australian bass, barramundi, snapper, mulloway, bream, Murray cod, golden perch, and other native fish, freshwater fish, and saltwater fish including big game billfish and tuna. More models will be added.
Ian always applies his decades of angling experience, as well as all his rod designing and building experience to every one of his custom rods - and the exact same level of commitment and attention to detail have been applied to these new rod designs - hand made in the highest quality rod factory of mainland China.
We thank the anglers who have supported these cutting edge rod designs, which are available for purchase on this website. And we’ll continue to offer Pre-Orders for new releases so our most loyal customers to get their favourite gear as fast as possible and at a reduced cost. Stay tuned!
Re-designing my rods for the production format has given me the opportunity to actually improve them. Many aspects of construction and design from the blank itself to the latest original brand-name componentry are now better than ever before! This has resulted in a range of lure fishing rods with very specific action and power, amazing balance, increased sensitivity, and a whole new level of performance!
I'm looking forward to being able to provide many more anglers with a fishing rod that can take their experience to the next level... by using a Millerod! Enjoy, and tight lines!
