I own several of their CT945-2, 9’4” rods. I’m very happy with them. I also have several of their SW704 saltwater rods, they have been excellent.

 

What not look at Lamiglas, the original 360 rod. XCC 934GH is $$$$

 

The carbon used by the blanks is the same that was used on the old Berkeley rods, the most used carbon by Daiwa and Shimano, etc. those pretty trim pieces also weigh something. You'll notice very few of their blanks are HM carbon. Some of the patterns are the same as Rogue Rods and built with the same carbons. The boat rods look to be composite material like everyone else has gone to.

 

Bought a 1025c-2 and am very happy with it. Ordered it on a 30% off special and got it quickly. Ordered and received it in under 2 weeks. Although owned by Edge, Stryker seems like they can deliver quicker to an order.
Ordered a couple Edge rods on special deals and I hope to get them in under 4 months. 🤔😲.

Stryker can build way more rods than they sell, Edge cannot.

 

I like my striker blanks and the action is great for trolling. That being said the ones I own and the ones I have handled are pretty heavy. If I had to cast one all day I’d be looking for something different

 

I built two on the CT1045 blank and two on the CT945 about three years ago. I can't complain about a single thing.

 

Not a 360 review but I bought a heavy drift rod and a medium heavy spin rod at the Redmond sports show. Caught lots of fish on both this fall. I'd say they are equal or better than my lamiglas infinity and Loomis gl3. Very happy with them.

 

Doesn't Edge Rods own Stryker now?

 

Yes.

 

If you're looking at blanks, their Surf rod blanks build nice 360 rods. I have never used an assembled Striker rod, but their blanks are great. Plus, what Pearl said, they are having a sale going on now.

 

They are very fishy rods the 9'4" 15-30 works really good with 360 and will hold its own against any rod for running kwiks on anchor ive built two and bought one nothing but good things to say

 

I own multiple Stryker rods and have fished them for a few years now and have no complaints.

 

I bought a 360 Stryker last year… love it

 

For a 360 rod with heavy lead I don’t think the Loomis rods are worth the added expense. I have several Okuma Guide Select Classics that are good rods for the money. I did buy a 9 foot Talon that’s a 9’ 15-40 and I think it’s an improvement over the Okumas but it’s also about $100 more expensive.

 

I think the guy from Fishing the Odds uses Stryker rods I believe. Appears he likes them very much.....

 

This is not about the rod you're looking for, but... about two months ago on the McKenzie I had the opportunity to use a Stryker 5wt fly rod. I enjoyed casting the Stryker more than a rod that cost nearly 4X as much.

 

I use their blanks on some of my builds. In fact I just ordered four back bounce blanks today.
My dealings have always been great with the team in Eugene. Rods and blanks are solid and I would use anytime.
Do note they have 30% off on all products through this Sunday. Their pricing is good.
