The greatest offshore rod ever made?

In his last trip to the US, one of our Alvey family visited a bespoke custom rod manufacturer and we've since become great friends across the Pacific.

After finishing the testing on the OS300, we challenged our new friends to design a rod that lives up to the 30kg (65LB) drag, with a stiff action but retaining a light feel, perfectly balanced to the weight of the OS300 reel.

...and the new ROS300 rod was born!

The best part is that this rod was designed, engineered and built with the best available components, each one being hand painted with the OS300 bespoke purple accents. The worst part is that only 25 have been made, of which there is now 20 available with 5 remaining in the US as showpieces and demonstration rods for the OS300.

We don't know how long these will last. So if you're looking for the greatest offshore combo you're ever likely to find, click the below link to learn more.
