The ‘Road Crew’ range is multi-section, high-performance and exceptional! Largely based on the most popular of our exclusive Millerods models, they’re ideally suited to fishing here in Australia – or anywhere in the world where your favourite rod is needed!

The Gamer is a medium power baitcast rod. The design is based on the Millerods popular custom rod model ‘Salty Barra Light’, one of Ian’s OG builds that’s popular for barra and a host of saltwater species. The beauty of this design is in the ease of casting lighter lures and still being able to successfully battle big fish, and became a favourite of Top End barra guides that wanted small lure suitability with big fish capability.

All this makes the Gamer an ideal travelling barra rod for tighter water where smaller lures are the choice. It’s great with all types of lures; soft plastic, hard-bodied, topwater, bibless etc.

In the hand, this rod is sensitive with an excellent balance point, creating a rod that is a pleasure to use even for long sessions.

At 5’10” length, the Gamer is super accurate to cast around structure, and for casting in and under overhanging vegetation – even with a conventional overhead casting action. Manoeuvrability in tight areas is easy.

Blank construction is all custom, high-grade graphite blend. Our exclusive custom Road Crew blanks are not based on a simple selection of material that runs throughout the range, or even throughout each model. Every part is made of the most suitable blend for that specific section of the rod! All ferrules are ‘put in’ style, creating the optimal solution to create a more robust blank while maintaining the Millerods benchmarks of balanced sensitivity!

The multi-guide train features 8 guides plus tip-top in corrosion proof titanium frames, and super hard Zirconia ceramic. This further enhances the smooth action and provides exceptional line control.

Of course, our custom exclusive anti-tangle hook keeper will be there at hand to keep your lure at the ready, but otherwise virtually disappears.

The ergonomic handle features lightweight carbon reel seat and locking hood, with extra-firm 1pc EVA rear grip to transfer energy and avoid hand fatigue, while the EVA butt cap allows the angler to leverage the rod against the body when fighting big fish.

^Millerods recommends the use of the FG knot for connecting braided fishing lines to monofilament leaders. All Ian’s lure casting guide trains are selected with this connecting knot in mind.
