The concept, idea and performance specifications for the Pyzer LCT long cast technique rod were set forth several years back during a fishing trip on Lake of the Woods, Ontario. It was a special fishing day to be out on pristine waters with Canadian Hall of Fame angler Gordon Pyzer, who is the Fishing Editor of Outdoor Canada Magazine and the Field Editor of In-Fisherman Magazine and television.  It was also a special day that resulted in the development of one the most impressive rods I have ever used, the Pyzer LCT – C14 Carbon X rod. 
It was a labor of love to develop the C14 and the credit goes to Gordon. All outstanding products start with a unique idea and superior performance goals.  The genesis for C14 was to build the perfect tool for casting surface baits to post spawn smallmouth in the clear waters found in Canada and the northern US.  
Gordon defined the needs like this.  During the post spawn period, giant smallmouth are cruising the shallows, willing to whack topwaters.  But you have to keep the boat well away from the bank to prevent spooking the fish. What is needed is a rod that will cast extra long distances accurately. The rod must also be able to hook a bass on a long cast and control the thrashing bass.   
The performance specifications for the C14 were as follows:

  • Achieve extremely long casting distances.
  • Substantially increase hook setting performance.
  • Substantially improve the rod's ability to prevent the fish from throwing lures when hooked at long distances. 

After two years of development, trial and error and many designs that fell far short, we achieved a rod that exceeded our performance goals.  More importantly, we discovered the rod also excels at other long cast techniques including crankbaits, jigs, lipless cranks and Carolina rigs.  Sometimes I think there is not a bass that can throw a lure attached to the C14.  

Without Gordon's input, the C14 would not have been possible, so it was fitting to name it the Pyzer LCT Long Cast Technique rod. For raising the bar in rod performance please join me in saying thanks to Gordon.

The C1 is the first casting rod we put into production and is an all around performance rod. If we could only have one rod to fish with this would be the rod.

The C7 Crankbait rod is one of our best selling rods. The design and development of this rod sprang from many requests we received from anglers to build a Crankbait rod that did everything a crankbait rod is supposed to do but has more power. That was a tall order, to make a rod that has to have a soft action that will absorb the shock of the strike and not pull a crankbait away before the hook set but has more power. Anglers wanted more power to get crankbait hooked fish away from heavy cover after the strike. They also wanted a rod that would not run out of casting power or be overloaded with large deep diving crankbaits like the Rapala DT16, Norman DD22, or Magnum Wiggle Warts.

The C7 crankbait rod was developed to be that rod and fill those performance requirements. It does everything crankbait rods are needed to do but also has substantially more power. Bass Tournament anglers love the performance of the C7 and it deserves all compliments it is getting.
