United Composites RGP GUSA Premium Conventional Rods is changing the game.

United Composites USA has taken the West Coast saltwater fishing rods in a very different direction. In keeping with the foundation of the success of the company, each of the premium rods incorporate the trademarked dual helix design element. However, on top of bringing incredible strength and durability, they have added yet another piece of the puzzle in a flat tow woven carbon reinforcing layer. It brings a level of beauty along with enhanced strength and power to an already extraordinary product.

The GUSA Premium series is the first in company history dating back to the original innovation by Richard Kantner, where up to four different materials are used to create the right actions at incredibly light weights. We believe that Mr. Kantner would be pleased with the creativity and use of a variety of materials to continue on the tradition of leading the industry in innovation. The GUSA Premium is the most advanced, most innovative product to have ever come from the production shop at United Composites

The GUSA Premium Conventional line is also offer, the GUSA Premium Conventional+ configuration. All wraps and guides will remain the same. The primary difference is that the more durable hypalon material is used for the grips and the lightweight graphite reel seat is changed out for the popular ALPS CAH design aluminum reel seat. 

Oversize shipping fee may apply.  We will call you if your rod requires extra charges.

The Owner ST-76TN 5X Treble Hooks are bigger and badder than any hook Owner has made in the past. These 5X strong treble hooks are made for battles with tuna, amberjack, and other large species. Perfect for monster poppers, flyers, or Nomad Madmacs lures.. Features include a short shank, three super sharp "power points," and a corrosion-resistant vacuum-tinned finish. 

We like the Owner ST-76TN 5X Trebles because they just don't fail.  The superior strength and sharp point hold up against the biggest fish.  Make sure you have split ring pliers that are large enough to open the split ring around the heavy gauge wire of this hook.  A few great options are Toit Large Split Ring Pliers or Texas Tackle XL Split Ring Pliers.  These will open up even the strongest split rings, we recommend Owner Ultra Wire Split Rings, they are incredibly strong. 

If you really want to go the extra mile, weld the rings on instead of using a split ring.  It takes a little practice but it's really the best way to go.  That said, we have rarely heard of the Owner Ultra Wire Split Ring failing.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Key Features:

• Long casting design for covering more water and reaching distant fish

The Dexter Edge Guard protects the edge of your knife when not in use. It provides a snug fit to the blade so it won't fall off. This Edge Guard fits straight blades only but the scabbard will fit some curved blades.  

The Edge Guard knife sheaths come with a click in style keeper that can be released with your thumb.  Keep your knife safe on the boat or shore by keeping it in a secured sheath so that kids or kids at heart don't cut themselves.  

We like the vented sides so the knife can dry out when not in use.  The blue color stands out when stowed away so it's easier to find than if it was white and blended in with the boat color.  If you have a dexter knife, you need a Dexter Knife Sheath.
