Spathe
Spathe is a specialist rod manufacturer renowned for pushing the boundaries of slow-pitch jigging technology. Their flagship Slowdance series features an innovative interline (in-line) design where the fishing line runs inside the rod blank rather than through external guides, eliminating tip wrap and delivering exceptional sensitivity. Combined with their proprietary Direct Sensory System (DSS) reel seat, Spathe rods transmit every subtle vibration straight to the angler's hand.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock the Spathe Slowdance Inline jigging rod, purpose-built for slow-pitch and light jigging techniques. With models rated for depths from 100 to 500 feet and jig weights up to 320g, the Slowdance is engineered for serious offshore anglers targeting demersal species, samson fish, and other deepwater gamefish off the WA coast. The two-piece butt joint construction makes transport and storage easy without compromising performance.

What is an interline jigging rod?
An interline rod channels the fishing line inside the rod blank instead of through external guides. This eliminates tip wrap issues and provides enhanced sensitivity, as the line maintains full contact with the blank throughout its length.
What is slow-pitch jigging?
Slow-pitch jigging is a finesse technique that uses specialised rods and jigs to create a fluttering, horizontal falling action. It targets demersal and reef species at depth and is particularly effective when fish are less aggressive or feeding on slower-moving baitfish.
What is the Spathe Direct Sensory System?
The Direct Sensory System (DSS) is Spathe's proprietary reel seat technology that enhances sensitivity by efficiently transmitting vibrations and bottom feedback directly to the angler's hand for improved bite detection at depth.
