Taking Aim at "The One" with Ark Rods's Sniper Series

Total Score: 7.75 - GOOD

Introduction: ARK Rods made a pretty good impression on us back in March 2018 with their Invoker IVK610MLXS, a spinning rod built on a high end graphite blank with medium grade components at a price point that earned the stick our Best Value Award. Given how well that stick performed, we wanted to see what else this company had to offer, so today we're taking aim at their flagship series, Sniper. Here's our look at ARK Rods's Sniper SNP70MXC casting rod.

Sniper is Ark Rods's current top end model.

Impressions: At the time of this writing, Sniper is ARK Rods's highest end series of rods. I say that because given how fast this company moves, there may be two or three lines above Sniper by the time I finish this article and it sees the light of the Internet! The SNP70MXC is a seven foot stick with a sophisticated black and grey color scheme.

We take a look at the SNP70MXC.

It is built with a split rear grip of EVA foam and adorned with a Fuji ACS reel seat with a decorative carbon locking mechanism and stainless steel guides with Zirconium inserts. There is a closed loop hook hangar just above the reel seat on top o the blank.

Matched with a Revo4 S and ready to go.
