Overview

Scrutinizing every detail in the design process with the input of touring professionals, the Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods deliver the most sensitive, balanced, and powerful actions perfectly suited for today’s most popular finesse tactics. Built upon a Japanese Toray 40-ton high-modulus carbon fiber blank, the Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods are constructed using Ark’s proprietary carbon fiber rolling technology that places a carbon nano tube between the carbon fiber layers for an exceptionally light, strong, and more sensitive rod.

Equipped with Fuji K-Frame tangle-free guides with Fazelite inserts, Ark Essence Series Casting Rods automatically break down tangles in heavy crosswinds to provide incredibly smooth and long casts. Furnished with AAA-grade full cork handles and a custom ark reel seat, Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods transfer even the most subtle bites and bottom vibrations directly into the blank for unbeatable feel and sensitivity.

 - 40-ton HM Carbon Fiber Blank
- AAA Grade Full Cork Handle
- Fuji K-concept Tangle Free Guides w/ Fazlite inserts
- Custom Ark Reel Seat
- Limited 5-year Warranty $80 replacement fee after year 1

AwesomeI purchased two 7’1” medium extra fast. Paired them up with Shimano Vanford 3000 reels. This combination it unbelievable. I couldn’t be happier.

6'8 ML spinning rod - perfect for me...Like most of us, I have to buy rods based on what information I can glean from the web, along with a little "gut feeling". Worked out great this time. Blank is crisp, light, and the rod balances well with a 2000 series Diawa. All done with the 3-4000 series reels. Weight and balance has become much more critical as I age. Power is on the M side of ML, and action feels more F than XF to me - which is just what I was looking for. Perf for weightless plastics, neds, small jigs, and small jerkbaits. Handle is comfy, and relatively short, which is crucial when seated in a kayak with a pfd, as I am. LOVE the short foregrip, which lets me get my pointer on the blank. Many manufacturers are favoring the long foregrips nowadays. I have several and they are comfy, but I miss getting my finger out front on the blank! No issues with fit and finish on the rod I received. I have some nice rods that cost more, but I'm really digging this one.

Previous Feedback  

Comments: This rod is okay, but it's not good. I have the 7'6 med light for ned rigs/ finesse rigs and the sensitivity is all but lacking not to mention the poor wrapping on the guides and as most ark rods it seems they have a problem with the reel seats being on straight, all 3 Ark rods I own have this issue. It seems this company really is passionate about what they're trying to do but for the price tag the quality could be so much better.
