California Proposition 65 requires that special warnings be provided when products contain chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm if the use of those products may cause exposure to those chemicals above specific limits. These warnings relate to some but not all tools, and electrical cords. Please call us prior to ordering if you have any questions regarding the safety of these products. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1789.3, Tackle World provides California residents with the following notice: You may report complaints to the Consumer Information Division of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at 800-952-5210.
The Dark Matter APX Casting Rods were built around a simple idea: make a $50 rod that doesn’t look, feel, or fish like one. APX combines a responsive glass/carbon composite blank with quality components and the distinctive styling Dark Matter is known for, creating an affordable rod that punches well above its price point.
Available in 5'11" and 6'11" models, APX Casting Rods are rated for 15–30 lb line and a versatile 3/4–8 oz lure range. The composite construction gives the blank the durability and forgiveness of glass while adding carbon for a lighter, more responsive feel. That combination makes APX a versatile choice for everything from casting lures to working jigs, fishing bait, and tackling a wide range of inshore and nearshore species. Every model has a hook keeper and gimbal.
Titanium oxide guides provide a smooth, durable surface for both braid and mono, while the EVA grips are comfortable, tough, and easy to maintain. A conventional gimbal gives the rod added security when fishing from a rod holder or fighting a better fish, and an integrated hook keeper gives you a convenient place to secure your rig between casts.
APX also looks different from the typical rod in its price class. Root beer and light blue accents give the rod a clean, modern Dark Matter look without going overboard.
The affordable price and durable construction also make APX an ideal rod to keep around for guests, kids, or anyone just getting into fishing. It’s equally useful as a second setup or backup rod that stays rigged and ready on the boat. And because it fishes like a much more expensive rod, APX isn’t something you’ll outgrow once you become a more experienced angler.
Affordable doesn’t have to mean basic. The Dark Matter APX Casting Rods deliver the performance, components, durability, and style you expect from Dark Matter at a price that makes them easy to fish every day.
