Dark Matter SPS AP Spinning Rods are designed for anglers who want to do it all — without breaking the bank. Built tough, these rods deliver the same proven action and taper as the higher-end Dark Matter HK-W, but at a more affordable price point. They’re the perfect choice for anyone looking for a dependable, all-purpose rod with a moderate taper that can handle a wide range of situations from the pier or the boat.
Constructed on a durable carbon blank, the SPS AP offers an ideal balance of power, sensitivity, and control. It’s light enough to cast all day yet strong enough to muscle big fish away from structure. Whether you’re jigging for fluke, tossing plugs at striped bass, or dropping baits for bottom species, this rod does it all with confidence.
Featuring EVA grips for comfort and longevity, the SPS AP is built to take abuse and keep performing season after season. The components are pure SPS — simple, functional, and made to last — giving you reliable performance without unnecessary frills.
Available in a 7’ one-piece and an 8’ two-piece model (with the ferrule hidden neatly inside the foregrip), the SPS AP Spinning Rods provide versatility for anglers who need strength, value, and performance in one package.
If you’re looking for a durable, budget-friendly rod that fishes like a higher-end model, the Dark Matter SPS AP Spinning Rods deliver big-time performance without the big price tag.
