Millerods - Pirate 772XH

The Millerods Pirate has a history as a custom-made Millerod for anglers travelling to take on the hardest fighting pelagics of our tropical oceans. These anglers returned with stories of great captures – and interesting to Ian, recounts of how their fishing guides always wanted to use their new custom rod!

Designed to be versatile and easy to fish yet capable of besting both toothy speedsters and stubborn GTs alike, it was no wonder that professional saltwater guides recognised a special fishing rod when they came across this one.

Now updated and upgraded, this new version has become the ‘Pirate’ and the first of an exciting new range of offshore lure casting rods we call the 'Sea Breed'. Rods for tuna, mackerel, trevally and others.

The Pirate 772XH is as versatile as they come. The powerful action will cast a huge range of lures and has enough tip power for popping. The 7’7” length is capable of good casting distance, yet not too long to be tiring to use.

The blank construction is from graphites blended specifically for this model that provide a well-balanced high-performance tool that is also robust.

The 2pc blank construction with removable handle means that transport and storage is extremely easy with a packed length of only 1.7m.

Fitted with x-hard Camoufish EVA that’s custom shaped for fish fighting the rear grip is also shaped to be compatible with rod holders. The Fuji pipe reel seat has the LD extended locking hood, and alloy extension to ensure all reels can be easily fitted, and the Fuji BRC butt cap is as comfortable as always.

Ian’s guide train of choice for this rod is a combination of Fuji ‘Slim Ring’ SiC ceramics; an ‘MN’ style stripper guide that accepts high speed line during the cast without frame touch, with balance being KW style for tangle-free operation. This gives smooth casting, excellent knot clearance and low line friction, using the latest grey metal stainless steel frame finish.
