Ian Miller and his brand ‘Millerods’ have been leading the rod designing scene in Australia for decades. Ian’s custom rods have pride of place in the collections of many anglers around the globe including keen anglers seeking every possible advantage they can get over both the fish and other anglers – as well as some of the highest profile fishing personalities in the country!

Ian’s designs are so sought after that his personally handcrafted rods are incredibly hard to get, with keen anglers waiting months and even years to have their dream fishing rods created.

Now, Millerods introduces the ‘Production Rod’ range, comprising some of Ian’s most popular designs in a fully imported fishing rod. Same blank designs, same components, same high performance and same distinctive appearance – all wrapped up in a super-high quality build!

The Production Rod range includes some all-time best sellers, and some brand new models that Ian has specifically designed for their first release in this range of fully imported rods.

All-new blank actions and powers for highest performance in new blends of graphite to minimise weight yet maintain the robust features required. Most rod models are now 2pc for ease of travel and storage, and the construction format is ‘removable handle’ which provides the superior technical design of rod blank ferrules.

Ian’s trademarked ‘Control Freak’ style handles are incorporated to maximise sensitivity and comfort while reducing weight and are ‘minimalist’ by design – no excessive material or weight are present. All seat parts are original Fuji Tackle components, with custom made trims.

These handle designs are presented in the Millerods instantly recognisable custom ‘Camoufish’ pattern in x-firm EVA material. This EVA is hard wearing, easier to fish with, and looks great!

All guide trains are original Fuji Tackle. This includes the latest ‘Fazlite’, ‘Torzite’ and ‘Slim Ring’ ceramics, as well as Fuji titanium frames on the light saltwater rod models.

All lure casting and spinning rods incorporate custom made Hook Keepers designed by Ian to be easy to use, minimalist, and totally tangle proof. Whether you’re hanging a 1 gm soft plastic or 13oz swimbait on your rod, you can rely on the hook keeper being in the right place and the correct size for the lure.

The BeastFreak Australian model was the first of our Production Range which has now been joined by rods specifically designed for Australian bass, barramundi, snapper, mulloway, bream, Murray cod, golden perch, and other native fish, freshwater fish, and saltwater fish including big game billfish and tuna. More models will be added.

Ian always applies his decades of angling experience, as well as all his rod designing and building experience to every one of his custom rods – and the exact same level of commitment and attention to detail have been applied to these new rod designs – hand made in the highest quality rod factory of mainland China.
