You might not know his name, but if you’ve been fishing near Thames, you’ve probably seen an elderly angler with a prosthetic limb casting far—that’s David Lenden the inventor of DaCinka - an irresistibly clever breakaway surfcasting sinker system.

Dave enthusiastically helped Mojo test the Muscle X and Silver Bullet models, and Mojo felt honored!

My Rod Review for the Mojo Silverbullet 14' Surfcasting rod

Well I am lucky enough to get my hands [hand actually] on 2 new rods on the market that are made by Mojo works in Flat Bush. The 2 rods in question are the Muscle X Power, and the Silverbullet.

Both these rods are in the middle of the range of rods available and feature low rider Fuji guides and winch fittings.

Both rods are 4.2m [14ft] 3 piece and both come in rod bags.

I was asked to have a play with these and see what I think of them, so I will say that this review is not solicited or paid for, it is purely because I think it is worth sharing what I found about these rods.

The first rod I had a play with is the Silverbullet. Yes, it is Silver, absolutely beautiful.

After unwrapping this rod and having a closer inspection, what I will say here is that the eye for detail and workmanship is absolutely fantastic. The binding on the guides is amongst some of the best I have seen. The colouring and lettering of the blank is also impeccable (that includes a lot of overseas rods that I have used).

A winning point for me was also the inclusion of extra metal ferrules included very subtly on the female part of the joints of each section. In the past I have had several top overseas brands split at the ferrules when casting—very disappointing but nevertheless a fact.

So, one thing I do with a rod before putting it together is to wipe the male part of the joint with an anti-seize compound, wipe the excess off, then put together. This eliminates the sections getting stuck together when dismantling the rod.

I was surprised how light the rod was and when holding it, the balance of the rod was extremely good. At this point I dismantled it and took off up the coast.

At one of my spots (of course it was Windy Point), I proceeded to put together the rod and reel (Shimano 12000 D) and, Dacinka, no bait and trace as I wanted to get a feel of the rod prior to giving it some grunt. Still, the rod felt well balanced and I cast a few more times gently to get the feel of the rod.

OK, time for some grunt. Well, to say the least, I was completely blown away. I'm sure the first cast was 160m plus—unbelievable. So I retrieved it a short while later with a small pannie. One thing I did notice was the sensitivity of such a fast action tip. I can only put that down to the tip section being still hollow, not with a solid part like other high-end rods.

I continued for a while liking more and more the action of this rod and how it felt in my hands.

Overall, very impressed with the rod that is a "middle" of the range rod.

So, what have we got here:

• Middle of the range rod @ $450 Retail
• 4.2 m, 3 piece rod
• Sensational workmanship
• Well balanced rod
• Sensitive tip for such a fast action
• 30T and 40T full carbon composition for extra strength
• Extra strengthening ferrules
• Quality guides and winch fitting

It is my opinion this rod overperforms for its price range and rivals some of the overseas higher-end rods.

Grab one, you'll not regret it.
