New Rhino® Tough Rods for 2004 Indestructible rods with a lifetime warranty The name Rhino® on fishing tackle signifies strength and durability. . . the kind of toughness that competes with any other brand in the industry. That's why the new Indestructible Rod series proudly bears the Rhino name.
Rhino's Indestructible Rods feature a high-strength tension-wound graphite inner core for a rock-solid backbone, but without additional blank weight. A double-woven E-glass fibrous outer skin is wrapped around the core to provide additional protection from just about every kind of encounter possible. This reinforced graphite core is manufactured with the same unbreakable construction that has proven itself over the last decade.
Aluminum aircraft hardware is used in the reel collar to ensure durability and a secure lock-down when seating a reel. It all has to do with being able to live up to the reputation as Rhino tough. In fact, the new Rhino Indestructible series is so tough that it comes with a Lifetime Warranty.
The new Rhino Indestructible rods are available in both Casting and Spinning models. The casting family consists of seven different actions ranging from medium-light to medium- heavy. The spinning family has nine members with different actions ranging from light to medium. New! Indestructible Rods

New Rhino® Offspring is a Tough Kid The original Rhino® RSC3 spincast reel now comes in a smaller version, the RSC2 Little in size, but big in features, the RSC2 boasts the same rugged construction as its big brother, but is easier for smaller hands or a better choice when conditions warrant lighter baits or line.
The Rhino RSC2 is a four steel bearing model with a machine-forged aircraft aluminum screw-on front cover to protect what's on the inside, including its exclusive brass drivetrain system. Manufactured from cross-axis helical-cut forged brass, the drivetrain offers unbeatable strength and durability, and a whisper smooth gear performance.
The RSC2's Auto Bait Alert™ provides an audible click when on, alerting the angler that something is taking the offer. Another great feature is the reel's exclusive Rhino® Roller-Ball drag knob. It makes drag adjustments easy, requiring only a simple pull back for more drag or push forward for less.
The reel's TPE sealed thumb button is designed for casting comfort and allows all day casting without hand fatigue. The reel has a quick 4.4: 1 gear ratio and comes pre-spooled with 80 yds of 8 lb. test line. Put all these features beside the diecast aluminum over-sized power handle and you've got one tough little fishing reel. . . tough enough to be called a Rhino.
Features Include: Cross-axis helical-cut forged brass drivetrain Machine-forged aircraft aluminum screw-on cover 4 steel ball bearings Dual ceramic pickup pins with triple ramp Rhino roller-ball quad-cam drag system Selective, multi-point anti-reverse Auto Bait Alert TPE sealed thumb button Diecast aluminum over sized power handle Right or left retrieve
