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 Hawker is a medium-heavy power spin rod. The design is based on Ian’s popular custom rod model Beast Buster LongCast, one of Ian’s OG builds that’s popular for barra and a host of saltwater species.

This is a longer spin rod that packs small. The tip action is relatively light to provide versatility with lure size; soft plastics, hard-bodies, topwater, bibless are all covered and the power kicks in hard for when targeting big fish.

In Australia think barra, mulloway and small-to-medium pelagics, and similar species anywhere in the world.

In the hand, the Hawker is sensitive and balanced. The slightly longer 7’4” length gives easy casting distance and line control – ideal for pelagic species and fishing toward the bottom in deeper water. This makes the Hawker an ideal rod to add to the quiver as a ‘do-all’ saltwater model.

Blank construction is all custom, high-grade graphite. 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 handle features a lightweight ergonomic designed carbon reel seat and locking hood for comfort and sensitivity, married to a smooth longer shape EVA in x-firm consistency to transfer casting energy and fighting options. The butt grip and the rounded butt cap are x-firm EVA to provide comfortable hard-wearing performance.

^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.
