Dark Matter APX Spinning Rods

A $50 spinning rod shouldn't have to feel like a $50 spinning rod. That's exactly why Dark Matter created the APX Spinning Rods. Built with a responsive glass/carbon composite blank, quality components, and the distinctive styling Dark Matter is known for, APX delivers a surprising amount of rod for the money. Available in 5'11" and 6'11" models, APX Spinning Rods are rated for 15–30 lb line and a versatile 3/4–8 oz range. The glass/carbon composite construction was chosen to give these rods the toughness and forgiveness of glass while adding carbon for a lighter, more responsive feel. That combination makes...

Available in 5'11" and 6'11" models, APX Spinning Rods are rated for 15–30 lb line and a versatile 3/4–8 oz range. The glass/carbon composite construction was chosen to give these rods the toughness and forgiveness of glass while adding carbon for a lighter, more responsive feel.

That combination makes APX an easy spinning rod to put to work. Cast plugs and jigs, drop a bait to the bottom, drift a rig, or leave one ready in the rod holder. The broad 3/4–8 oz range gives anglers plenty of flexibility to change techniques without needing a different setup every time the fishing changes.

Titanium oxide guides provide a smooth, durable surface for fishing braid or mono, while tough EVA grips offer a comfortable, secure hold. Every model also includes a hook keeper and conventional gimbal, making APX equally comfortable being actively fished or sitting ready in a rod holder.

APX doesn't look like a typical rod in its price class, either. Root beer and light blue accents give it a clean, modern Dark Matter appearance and help separate it from the plain black rods that dominate the affordable end of the market.

The spinning configuration makes APX especially easy to fish. It's a great choice for newer anglers, kids, guests on the boat, or anyone who simply prefers spinning tackle. But this isn't a rod you'll immediately outgrow as your skills improve. Experienced anglers will find APX just as useful as an everyday setup, dedicated bait or jigging rod, or backup outfit that stays rigged and ready.

That's what APX is all about: making an affordable rod without making it look, feel, or perform like one. At around $50, the Dark Matter APX Spinning Rod delivers performance, durability, versatility, and style that you'd normally expect to pay considerably more for.
