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 Rider is a heavy power baitcast rod. The design is based on the popular Millerods ‘ONEfreak PWR’, a powerful and versatile barra rod.

With a good degree of tip power and a forgiving mid-section, this rod is Ideally suited to casting jerkbaits, although any treble-rigged lure is suited. This not only includes hard-bodied lures but also soft plastic, topwater, bibless etc.

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

At 6’5” length, this rod is both accurate to cast around structure but also attains easy casting distance. It has great line/lure control.

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 10 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 split grip extra-firm EVA for best energy transfer. The casting grip is black while the butt grip is blue Camoufish EVA. The rounded rubber butt cap is hard wearing yet still 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.
