Smith KOZ Expedition C68MH casting rod

The most versatile KOZ casting rod in the range

The Smith KOZ Expedition C68MH is a casting rod designed to offer a very wide range of use. It is aimed at anglers looking for a high-end model capable of adapting to different techniques, both in freshwater and light saltwater fishing.

Its balance between softness and stiffness allows for excellent lure control, while providing a real power reserve to handle hard-fighting fish. It is an ideal rod for anglers who want a single, precise and reliable tool for prospecting fishing.

Manageable from the bank as well as from a float tube

The KOZ Expedition C68MH proves very effective from the bank, with a length that allows for powerful and precise casts. It also retains excellent maneuverability in a float tube thanks to its short handle, which facilitates lure animation and casting in tighter spaces.

This ergonomic versatility makes it easy to switch from open-water fishing to close-range fishing, without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.

A soft tip action with a powerful butt

This rod features a relatively soft tip, ideal for following lure vibrations and improving casting comfort. Its powerful butt provides the reserve needed to drive hooksets home, control a strong fish and maintain control in cluttered areas.

This balance makes the rod particularly enjoyable for prospecting sessions, where you need to cast repeatedly, vary your retrieves and quickly adapt to predator activity.

Perfect for pike and bass fishing

The Smith KOZ Expedition C68MH is perfectly suited for pike and bass fishing with prospecting lures. It works effectively with spinnerbaits, vibration lures, shallow or medium-deep crankbaits, as well as soft lures.

Its responsiveness allows you to maintain excellent contact with the lure, while its power reserve ensures positive hooksets and good control of the fish during the fight.

Premium construction by KOZ Expedition

The KOZ Expedition range was supervised by Kozo Okubo, nicknamed the Big Fish Hunter. It was developed to target large fish in both freshwater and saltwater, with blanks designed to combine comfort, power and longevity.

The blank features a 3-dimensional braid with multi-axis carbon integrating graphite fibres in 8T, 24T and 30T. The tri-wrap system reinforces sensitive areas and improves the rod's long-term durability.
