I’m excited to have worked

with the Berkley® Rod
Engineers to make our popular
Air® Salmon and Steelhead.
The Air® IM8 Salmon and
Steelhead rods are stronger,
lighter and more sensitive
thanks to IM8 high-modulus
graphite, Titanium SS304
guides and durable Berkley®
Cushy Q butt caps.

Berkley®’s line up will

include all previous rod
actions plus three models, to meet the needs of both angler
and professional guide. Anglers that bobber or side-drift for
steelhead will want to check out the A-94-9’ Medium (M),
A-94-9’9” and 10’9” Medium-Light (ML) rod actions.

create a super hard, low friction surface • 7’6” Medium
that actually becomes a part of the ring material • 8’ Medium

making it a perfect choice for today’s braided lines.

• CF-81 Power Construction

The CF-81 material is a carbon wrap
giving you the benefit of increased power
in a lightweight and sensitive design.
For the power you need on hard fighting
saltwater fish, with the sensitivity you need for
artificial presentations.

the backbone, necessary for the
powerful hooksets and stress loads a no-stretch ®

line produces while keeping the rods weight to a

minimum for the highest sensitivity.

• Suspending Reel Seat - Designed for Maximum

Energy Transmission. This reel seat is off-set
allowing the reel foot to be raised from the blank,
preventing any unnecessary contact and increasing
overall feel and action.

• Strike Amplifying Tip - Designed to give you

the benefit of increased hook-ups,
the S.A.T. is a recent development
by the Berkley Engineering Team, built to handle
SuperLines. Your success rate is amplified by the
‘braid’- action, giving you the extra time needed for
the fish to hang on and you to react.
