Tsuka 2 Carbon Handle for Casting Rods

Product Details

The Tsuka 2 delivers a range of cutting-edge features. Leading the way in blow-molded construction with the option of matte 3K carbon or forged carbon, American Tackle has solidified itself as a pioneer in handle design. Notably, the Tsuka 2 delivers the industry's first complete forged carbon handle system, revolutionizing the fishing rod landscape which earned American Tackle the Best in Show at ICAST 2023.

Versatility is a key attribute, as the Tsuka 2 Handle can be seamlessly integrated for a new custom build or retro-fitted onto completed rods. Its slim and ergonomic designs prioritize comfort and control, ensuring an optimal fishing experience. The handle's lightweight nature not only enhances maneuverability but also contributes to an overall reduction in the rod's weight without compromising strength. This blow-molded carbon process gives the most dedicated angler added durability to withstand the rigors tournament angling and elevates their ability to detect even the lightest of bites.

  • Blow-molded carbon fiber construction: Experience unparalleled durability and performance
  • Available in forged or 3K weave carbon fiber material for casting configurations
  • Molded rubber end cap: Added protection for your investment
  • Extreme strength-to-weight ratio: A mere 1.875 oz. single-piece construction that doesn't compromise on toughness
  • Ergonomic trigger handle: Enhance comfort and control during extended fishing sessions
  • Carbon fiber foregrip with aluminum trim: A sleek, functional, and stylish design to elevate your angling experience
  • Comes with fitted neoprene sleeve
  • We recommend also purchasing ASCHL, to cover the gap between the seat part of the Tsuka 2 handle & rod blank
  • Special Note: Tsuka 2 Casting Handles have an internal inner diameter clearance of 0.450" - if your rod blank has a butt outer diameter clearance of 0.450" or less, the blank will pass completely through the handle. This will allow you to utilize the entirety of the blank.

Easy does it

Works well. A little slick feeling but overall very good

slippery

I like the concept, but the casting grip does not work for me, The handle by the trigger is too thin and the material is slippery making it difficult to grip. I also made a Tsuka2 spinning rod and very much like the handle in that application.

Must have handle

I've built several custom rods with the traditional reel seats until now. This by far is the best complete carbon fiber casting handle available, the lightweight helps balance the rod blank and increases sensitivity. If you're a custom rod builder, you have to try the Tsuka 2 out.

American Tackle Tsuka 2 Casting Carbon Handle

1st time ordering this handle so called customer service to make sure I ordered everything I needed for the job before placing my order. Help from customer service was excellent. I received my order in timely fashion. I love the handle. Light and the Matte Forged Carbon finish on it pops. I watched the You Tube video on how to do the installation and I did the installation yesterday per the video. Came out great. So far in my rod building I have only done cork but I will say this was way easier and faster to do. Another thing I liked that came with the handle was the protective sock that came with it. The biggest bonus is seeing how much my customer eyes popped when he saw it. Can't wait to get the build done and see what he thinks of it after using it.
