ABOUT POLETAP SMARTRODS:
The first of its kind ... and possibly the single most significant innovation to the modern fishing rod, the Poletap SmartRod brings integrated accelerometer bite detection technology to a handsome and rugged 2-piece medium action rig. With the use of Sound Alert and high-output LEDs, the Poletap SmartRod provides a built-in alarm system that activates when the line is receiving activity from the fish below the surface.Three sensitivity levels allow you to cancel out false alarms and one-button operation ensures that this advanced technology is kept simple.

"The first of its kind ... and possibly the single most significant innovation to the modern fishing rod..." - Florida Sport Fishing June 26 2013.


Bite detection features are powered from two CR2032 Lithium batteries. Our patented Computer Controlled Accelerometer Technology detects fish activity throughout the fishing rod and does not rely on mechanical mouse-traps, roller wheels or clip-on bells and whistles. This powerful technology has already generated buzz, as "the future of fishing"... - Übergizmo Edwin Kee. It is available in a 6'6" spincast rod, 7' spinning rod and 7' spinning combo of the rod and reel.
