Specifications
Mid-Range Power, Precision Control
The Maven PE4-6 Stickbait rod sits right in the sweet spot of our world-class stickbait range - balancing refined sensitivity with serious stopping power.
Handcrafted to perfection and finished in our signature Maven pinstripe design, this two-piece rod is built with the highest-grade components and our hallmark attention to detail. But it's more than just good looks - it's engineered to thrive where power and finesse need to coexist.
Designed for versatility, this rod handles a wide range of line weights and lure types with ease. Whether you're casting floating or sinking lures from 85g to 160g, you'll find the rod responsive and intuitive. At the lighter end of the spectrum, it stays firm yet flexible enough to swim lures effectively. Push it toward its upper range, and it softens slightly to load beautifully - without sacrificing the power to cast and work heavier lures with authority. Its sweet spot lies between 90–140g, where casting feels effortless and control is razor-sharp.
Optimized for line weights from PE5 to PE8, this model locks up earlier than the lighter PE2-4 rod, with a noticeably stronger backbone. It's purpose-built for tackling aggressive species in reefy terrain, with the power to handle heavy drag pressure when the fight turns brutal. Thanks to its high-strain 33msi, 100% carbon blank, it stays remarkably forgiving on the angler - absorbing shock while delivering relentless performance.
- Suggested reel matches: Shimano Stella 8000SWB HG or Stella 14000 SWB XG, Shimano Saragosa 10000SW

The blue color is not only beautiful, but blends with the sky on close range fish in shallow water.
