COLMIC RED DEVIL 7'4'' (20-30lb)

Colmic Red Devil is a high-end specialized boat rod engineered by renowned tackle designer Ron Kronley to master the harsh demands of deep-water bottom angling, with a primary focus on hunting giant deep-sea squid. Built on an advanced ULAF carbon blank (Ultra Light High Modulus Carbon Fiber) featuring a 2-piece unibutt joint system, it offers immense lifting power combined with refined tip sensitivity.

The standout feature of the Red Devil is its "Acid" spiral-wrapped K-type guide layout, where guides gradually rotate 180 degrees around the blank. This architecture eliminates blank twist and lateral torque under heavy drag, optimizing line flow and strain distribution when retrieving heavy rigs from deep water. The rod delivers a progressive action paired with an ultra-sensitive tip section, allowing anglers to register faint squid touches at extreme depths while cushioning powerful lunges during long vertical retrievals. The butt section is finished with a heavy-duty aluminum gimbal, ensuring solid locking into fighting belts or vessel rod holders. Available in two lengths to match modern angling preferences.

Key Technical Achievements & Hardware

• Ron Kronley Signature Design: Engineered specifically for heavy deep-water boat tactics and cephalopod hunting.

• ULAF Carbon Blank: High-modulus carbon construction delivering exceptional strength-to-weight performance.

• Heavy-Duty Unibutt Joint: Reinforced handle connection maximizing power transfer and structural integrity under heavy loads.

• Acid / Spiral Wrapped K-Type Guides: Spiral guide placement preventing blank twisting, reducing tip wraps, and lowering friction on braided lines.

• Progressive Action with Sensitive Tip: Engineered flex curve designed to register minute bites while preventing hook pulls through soft squid flesh.

• Machined Aluminum Gimbal Butt: Solid aluminum cross-cut gimbal for secure engagement with fighting belts and rocket launchers.

• Dual Length Availability: Offered in two distinct lengths to accommodate different lever preferences aboard vessels.

Strategic Advantages for Deep-Sea Anglers

The Colmic Red Devil addresses deep-water squid and bottom fishing demands:

• Torque-Free Acid Guide Configuration: Eliminates dangerous blank rotation under heavy loads, ensuring smoother reel retrieves and reducing angler fatigue.

• Tentacle-Safe Shock Absorption: The supple tip section cushions sudden lunges, preventing squid tentacles from tearing off crown hooks during 200m+ ascents.

Recommended Applications

• Deep-Sea Giant Squid Angling: Purpose-built for targeting squid on deep offshore drop-offs with heavy sinkers and multiple squid jigs.

• Deep Bottom Fishing & Electric Reel Tactics: Excellent blank choice for deep-water bottom species using electric or heavy multiplier reels.
