For millennia, man has searched the sea for sustenance, inspiration and adventure. Sea fishing is an occupation as old as human civilization. One of the most praised early civilizations is that of ancient Greece. The Greeks believed in an incredibly rich pantheon of gods who ruled human affairs. One such deity is Apollo, a god with the gift of prophecy, which is the ability to predict the future. Apollo could also understand the language of animals. We can’t help but wonder if Grays named his excellent rod after him in the hope that he would bestow this foresight on sea fishermen! Here you have information of the MK3 sea fishing rod.
About the Grays Apollo MK3 rod
The Apollo MK3 rod features a parallel tail section that is slimmer than other rods in the line. This means that the rod should feel a bit crisper and more responsive when in your hands. You can also expect more lead control during casting, something that just about any angler will appreciate. Another superior feature is the positive grip which is ensured by a patented slide-lock reel seat and comfortable “Sure Grip” retractable tube. This rod has a “classic” heritage of its own, backed by Grays’ legendary design and manufacturing team.
Features of the Grays Apollo MK3 rod
This rod comes in 13 and 14 foot lengths. Grays has extensively tested the Apollo MK3 in all types of fishing conditions to ensure optimal and reliable performance. Grays engineers and designers are as passionate about sea fishing as the anglers who use their products. Grays has gone to great lengths to ensure that the Apollo MK3 performs flawlessly in virtually any fishing scenario imaginable, including rough and rocky terrain. The rod uses durable Fuji BMNAG Alconite guides. BMNAG guides are light but extremely strong. They have an S4 stainless steel frame, and their shape makes them ideal for use on medium to heavy duty spinning or casting rods. Guides are black anodized for strength and have been designed for braided line. “Alconite” is not a substance or a characteristic. Rather, it’s a Fuji trade name for the high-performance guides on the Apollo MK3 rod.
More about the Apollo MK3 rod
This rod can easily cast 4 to 6 ounces and features a durable spigot joint assembly. The Apollo MK3 is truly the standard for heavy or mixed ground surf rods and performs exceptionally well in high tides without compromising positive bite registration. With some practice, the Apollo MK3 will throw amazingly long distances. It also proves its worth when you need to get a fish out of the brush or in non-standard fishing spots like cliffs. This is a durable carbon fiber rod that should give decades of good service, if cared for properly.
Add to this impressive list of features an extended worldwide warranty backed by Grays and you have a rod that is, in my opinion, a worthy addition to any angler’s collection of sea fishing tackle.
