Samaki 25 Archer Baitcast Rod

Built for Aussie barra and bass anglers who want crisp casting, rock-solid hooksets, and confident control around heavy structure.

The Samaki 25 Archer Baitcast Rod is a modern upgrade to a proven favourite, redesigned for anglers who fish hard and demand more from their baitcaster setup. Taking everything that made the original Archer series such a reliable performer, the 2025 release sharpens it with updated blank tech, refined components, and a premium in-hand feel.

At its core is a responsive graphite blank reinforced with a 4-axis weave, delivering increased strength, reduced torsional twist, and a cleaner recovery through the cast. The result is more accurate lure placement, better bite detection, and stronger hook-driving power when you’re working tight snags, laydowns, pontoons, rock walls, and mangrove edges.

Finished with quality Fuji guide hardware, full cork grips, and a deluxe ergonomic reel seat with custom locking rings, the Samaki 25 Archer Baitcast Rod is built to feel balanced, fish clean, and handle real-world Australian conditions. Whether you’re throwing hardbodies for barra, slow rolling spinnerbaits for bass, or punching soft plastics into structure, there’s an Archer model built for the job.
