Top Fortis Spinning Rods to Start With
- 5' Ultra Light Action 2 Piece – Compact and lightweight, this option works well for kids or adults targeting panfish and trout. The 2-piece design fits in backpacks and small trunks.
- 6' Medium Action 2 Piece – A versatile all-rounder that handles everything from creek trout to pond bass. Smooth casting and enough backbone for larger fish.
- 7' Medium Action 2 Piece – Extra length means longer casts and better line control on bigger water. A strong choice for bank fishing or wading shorelines.
- 6'6" Medium Heavy Action 1 Piece – When you need power for bass, catfish, or light redfish, this one delivers. The 1-piece blank maximizes sensitivity and hook-setting strength.
What Makes Fortis Fiberglass Graphite Rods a Smart Choice
You could spend $80 or more on a spinning rod with similar specs from other brands. Fortis rods give you the same hybrid construction, stainless steel guides, and comfortable EVA handles at a fraction of that cost. The difference goes straight back into your tackle box, your next fishing trip, or gear for someone you want to bring along.
The fiberglass graphite blend means these blanks forgive the mistakes that happen when you're starting out. Hand one to your kid, your nephew, or a friend who's never held a fishing pole before. They can bump it against the dock, drop it in the truck bed, or set the hook too hard on a bluegill. The blank handles it. But the graphite layer still transmits every nibble and tap so you know when a fish shows interest.
Here's what that means on the water:
✔ Guides that last – Stainless steel construction resists corrosion whether you fish ponds or coastal flats
✔ Grip that holds – EVA foam stays comfortable and secure even when your hands are wet
✔ Storage made simple – Built-in hook keeper secures your lure between spots
✔ Less fatigue – Lightweight blanks keep your arm fresh through a full morning of casting
The collection covers ultra light to medium heavy actions and lengths from 4'6" to 7'. Compact 1-piece options store easily in truck beds and boat compartments, while 2-piece designs travel well for anglers headed to distant water.
At these prices, many anglers grab multiple options to cover different situations and species. You can build a full lineup for less than what a single mid-range competitor charges.
