Series Breakdown
-
Finesse Mastery (SS60UL, SS66L, & SS70L): When throwing microscopic jigs or tiny spinners, these models provide the "sling-shot" casting ability and delicate touch required to protect light lines.
-
The Power Players (SS68MH & SS70MH): These rods are the heavy hitters. The SS70MH features a Moderate-Fast action, making it an exceptional choice for moving baits like swimbaits or larger crankbaits where you need a bit more "give" to keep fish pinned.
-
Open Water Distance (SS70ML): A fan favorite for walleye anglers who need to launch 1/8 oz jigs across expansive flats while maintaining total control.
💡 Pro Tip: Maintaining Your Grade A Cork
To keep your Silver XP handles looking and feeling like new, give them a quick cleaning once a season. Use a soft cloth with a tiny drop of mild dish soap and warm water to wipe away fish slime and hand oils. If the cork becomes stained or pitted over time, a very light touch with extra-fine (220+ grit) sandpaper will restore that original "velvet" feel and bright appearance.
The Silver XP is more than just a rod—it’s an extension of your hand. Experience the tradition of Elk River craftsmanship today.
