[ICAST 2023] Best In Show – The Tsuka 2 – American Tackle Company

American Tackle Company has brought out a winner at ICAST 2023 this year with the new Tsuka 2 Complete Carbon Handle. Voted in the New Product Showcase Best of Category for Custom Tackle and Components and voted Best of Show overall. A brand new fishing rod component that follows in the footsteps of the original Tsuka Complete Carbon Handle from 2020, winner of ICAST 2020’s Best Fishing Accessory. This new fishing rod handle uses blow-molded forged carbon fiber for an incredibly light but strong rod handle. The Tsuka 2 handles come in at 1 ounce and are a single-piece construction. This means simpler rod handle assembly, no having to line up multiple parts when putting the reel seat, foregrip, and rod handle on. 

The Tsuka 2 handles will be available in both spinning and casting handles. Finish wise the handles will come in both matte or glossy, along with two patterns of carbon fiber weave. Being a rigid one piece handle attached to rod blank they are incredibly sensitive and make for a very enjoyable experience on the water. Expect them to hit custom tackle component suppliers later this year around quarter 4. MSRP is to be $129.99.
