Description
Reviews (33)

Air is our finesse series of super light casting and spinning rod blanks.

Air features our new TurboTaper™ technology – a two stage taper with smooth progressive upper area for even loading casts and delicate lure control and a punchy bottom section for superior fighting ability and power to control fish.

If you’re looking to target Muskie or Peacock Bass, then the heavier 6-10kg (12-20lb) option will give you the power and lure presentation needed. Move to BayMaster if you’re looking for a heavier duty series and if you are looking to go longer, then our Air LX or  JetStream series are the ones to look at.

The Elite models (MagSpin and SD) have been superseded by Air. If you’re familiar with the previous MagSpin (ES) and SD models and unsure of which Air model to choose, take a look at this article that explains which models replace them.

    Michael B. (verified owner) – August 25, 2024

    Another beautiful CTS rod.
    I now have 9 various CTS rods and they are my “go to” over any other brand.
    Do yourself a favour and buy 1, or 2 ……, you won’t regret it.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    Mark Aichele (verified owner) – June 21, 2024

    You guys forgot to mark the spine, the blank is fine, color is darker than I thought it was going to be, no problem, you need to credit me back the charge for not marking the spine though. I will be ordering a fly rod blank in the near future, your blanks are the best I feel on the market, keep up the good work. You need to come up with some ice fishing blanks as well.

    Super light blank, ultra sensitive and near instantaneous recovery after a cast. It really feels like an extension of my fingertips, couldn’t be happier.

    I love these blanks. They are the best quality out there and the colour selection is perfect. The service is great. I like being able to select the location for the brand decal. It makes life so much easier for the Custom builder. Highly recommended.

    I can tell you how light, strong and small diameter the air are. but when you get one on your hand you will be amazed of how light those rods are. I can fish all day long and never get tired! air rods feel like a feather.

    I did not see the blank as it was sent to ACM Custom Rods.

  14. Rated 5 out of 5

    Mark Fisher (verified owner) – July 28, 2021

    I regularly buy high end blanks from CTS. The custom colours are a bonus for the dedicated rodbuilder but it is more about the quality, action and power of the blanks. I also like how a builder can nominate where the decal gets positioned on the blank. Other brands could learn a lesson here.

    Justin Upp (verified owner) – May 11, 2021

    As if the Elite SD could be better, these Air blanks are perfect. Great finesse fishing on the shorter blanks, but strong enough to use for light duty surf fishing in the 8ft. These are my new go to blanks.

  18. Rated 5 out of 5

    Jose Luis Toledo (verified owner) – December 13, 2020

    I am using the CTS Air, it is so small in diameter and light that it feels like you have a feather on your hands. Small and light but so strong that I have landed walleyes, large mouth bass and crappies with no problems. This rod is so precise, strong and light that you can fish all day long and never get tired. I called it my crappie predator! Nothing like this rod in the market!

    7’ 15-45g – sensitive fast tip action for bite detection with enought power in middle section for hard secure hookset. Proven for zander fishing with bigger soft plastic lures…

    I am pleased. Have not been able to fish it as much as I would have liked this season, but I like the feel thus far. Has a bit less power than I was expecting.

  26. Rated 5 out of 5

    Jose Luis T. (verified owner) – August 16, 2020

    I am amazed how light the Air is, it is so thin but super strong. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a crappie, bass and walleyes rod. I am very happy with it!!!
