The  Nova Chrome Series is our own line of rod blanks which after about 18  months of design and testing, we feel are the greatest quality and  performance blanks made in the world.  Our blanks are hand rolled and built in the  USA.
 
This rod is probably the most versatile rod in our line up.
 
The  IMX1403 is an all around great Steelhead rod for every region in the nation.  It is a 11'8" rod, rated for 6-15lb leader.  The tip section is  soft enough to protect light leaders, while the butt section is stout and can turn large steelhead to help the angler control his fish. This  rod has lots of Reserve power in the bottom end, allowing steelhead  fisherman to control their catch better.
 
We  utilize Nova Brand Rubberized Handles and Seats.  With this combination, this rod has great grip, while keeping your hands warm during the winter months.
 
Each rod is hand built in the USA.  We utilize the best available  components  and add attention to detail in all of our rods.  Items such  as over  sized guides for the Great Lakes Region, which help reduce ice  build up  in the guides when fishing in below freezing temperatures.
