The ‘Beast’ is not only powerful enough to cast these large lures but is beautifully balanced and very sensitive, setting itself apart from many other similar rods in that market. Primarily, the techniques used with this rod are swimbaits and glidebaits for largemouth bass which have become the preferred methods to target trophy largemouth bass across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the swimbait movement began to take hold in Australia, Miller quickly realised that the BeastFreak is also perfect for targeting our own species with the same big lures. In a few short months of 2016 the reputation of the BeastFreak spread and rods began to find their way into the hands of anglers using these new techniques. Impressive captures of Murray cod quickly ensued, followed by barramundi, mulloway and now flathead – all our large predatory fish were falling victim to the US BeastFreaK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most popular size range of these lures is in the 5-8”\/120-200mm bracket and typically weigh 1 ½ - 3oz\/55-90gm, in fact there is probably not a modern lure company that does not boast a range of lures in this class. These are the lures sizes that the ‘Beast’ is perfect for and provides the ideal stepping stone between more traditional sized Aussie lures and the really huge lures that are in a heavier bracket of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be perfect for Australia, Miller determined that the rod design needed some slight tweaking. The same perfect amount of power and action were maintained but the blank redesigned into a 2pc format with detachable handle for easier transporting, stowage and management. The guide train was changed to larger ID Fuji ceramics so our larger leaders can easily pass through, and double foot guide frames make the rods more robust. And so entered the 'Beast'!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking to step up to the next level from smaller lures to swimbaits, wakebaits, larger spinnerbaits and topwater lures, this really is the perfect tool for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Millerods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43179998937166,"sku":"9350517000194","price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/4896\/4174\/files\/MillerodsBeastFreak710_01.jpg?v=1764109994"},{"product_id":"millerods-swimfreak-ambush-702h","title":"Millerods SwimFreaK Ambush 702H","description":"\u003cp\u003eRiver environments, tree-lines of impoundments and other snaggy areas sometimes require a rod that is a little shorter and more manoeuvrable than your standard length swimbait rod.
