Predator Fishing Rods
Predator fishing demands a rod that can cope with distance casting, heavy lures, and fish that don’t play fair. The Rigged & Ready Predator Series Spin & Baitcast rods are perfect for that. They’re for anglers fishing from the shore, on rocks, along rivers, or afloat on a large lake. A predator rod needs to be able to deal with hard, sudden takes, heavy tides or rivers and long days that don’t always end early. Strong, capable, but not clumsy. And that's where the Rigged and Ready Predator series comes into play, adaptable, strong and compact.
What is Predator Fishing
Rigged & Ready predator fishing rods are built for anglers chasing aggressive fish, whether that’s along the coast or on inland waters. The Predator Series Spin & Baitcast rods are designed to handle a wide range of lure sizes, deal with hard takes, and stay in control once a fish is hooked. They’re made for real fishing. Rocks underfoot. Banks and swims to cover. Rough water. Fish that pull hard and don’t quit.
When buying a predator fishing rod, you need to think about the lures you are using. Weight matters. Distance matters too. Bigger lures and rougher water need backbone, especially when tides or flow are pushing. Lighter lures still need to feel in the tip, otherwise it feels like you have no connection. Length comes down to where you’re standing. Longer rods help off the rocks or bank and to get distance. Shorter rods are easier to manage along rivers or from a boat. A good predator fishing rod shouldn’t feel like hard work. Once you start fishing, you shouldn’t really be thinking about it at all.
Predator Series Rod Options
Predator Max
The Predator Max is a proper all-rounder for predator fishing in both freshwater and saltwater. It’s happy casting large lures, smaller hard baits, and covering serious distance when conditions demand it. Available in four lengths, it suits a wide range of coastal fishing styles and really comes into its own when extra casting range is needed. The Predator Max works with fixed spool reels but genuinely excels when paired with a baitcaster, especially for controlled, repeat casting in wind and tide.
Predator
The Predator rod is for anglers who don’t stand still for long. It comes in two lengths and works best when you’re moving along the coast, picking water, and placing lures around harbours, structure, and rocky ground. Accuracy matters more here than distance, and that’s where this rod makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q)What is a predator fishing rod?
A predator fishing rod is built for fish that hit hard and don’t give up easily. That usually means casting lures, setting hooks properly, and dealing with strong runs close in or out at range. It needs backbone, but not at the cost of control.
Q)What is a predator angler?
A predator angler is someone who targets fish that hunt other fish. In the sea, that often means working lures for species like bass along the coast. It’s active fishing. Casting, retrieving, moving spots, and covering water rather than waiting around.
Q)What type of rod is best for predator fishing?
There isn’t one perfect rod. It depends on where you’re fishing and how. Most sea anglers use spinning or baitcasting rods because they give a good mix of distance, control, and power. The best rod is the one that suits your lures and your fishing style.
Q)What are the advantages of predator fishing rods?
Predator fishing rods are stronger and more responsive than general rods. They let you work lures properly, set hooks cleanly, and stay in control when a fish hits hard. In saltwater, that extra strength matters more often than you expect.
