Built for the moments that make topwater fishing addictive.

The Topwater Tim Rod was designed in collaboration with East Tennessee legend Tim Smiley, dialing in every detail to create the perfect rod for walking baits and explosive topwater strikes.

At 6’3”, this rod gives you unmatched control and precision, making it effortless to walk a spook or any style of walking bait with a smooth, consistent cadence. The shorter length keeps your rod tip down and your bait moving exactly how it should, while still giving you the backbone needed to drive hooks home when that blowup happens.

This is not just another rod. It is purpose-built for one thing, and it does it right.
