    Description

    The Serpentes series is Irukandji's signature casting range, conceived after years of pushing other rods past what they were built for. Each model is named after an Australian snake and tuned to a different job, and every one in the family has been designed, refined and tested over thousands of hours of hard fishing before release. This listing covers two of the mid-range sticks in the series: the 662 Taipan and the 702 Gwardar.

    The Taipan is the flagship of the range and the one Irukandji recommend if you want a single rod to cover most jobs. It handles medium to large jerkbaits, 5-9" soft plastics, small to medium swimbaits, larger vibes, topwater and spinnerbaits. The Gwardar is the longer, slightly lighter stick of the two, built around 100-130mm hard bodies, prawn profiles and 4-7" plastics, and it is especially well regarded for topwater work.

    Both rods are built on a parabolic taper blank that stays loaded through long, drawn-out fights, which makes them well suited to barramundi, mulloway and cod, though they are by no means limited to those species.

    Features

    • Custom designed parabolic taper carbon blank with protective coating
    • Two-piece butt joint, so the rod breaks down without a join through the working section of the blank
    • Spiral wrapped double foot titanium Recoil guide system
    • Fuji ACS casting reel seat with trigger grip
    • Fuji GMLGST tips
    • Natural cork butt grip with engraved butt ring detail
    • Neoprene protective rod sleeve included, ideal for travelling
