There’s nothing like a trip on the Yankee Capts.
The sun barely cracks the horizon before the first drops begin. Lines go down hundreds of feet with only the sound engine, humming in anticipation. Then in a flash someone hooks up, and the fight begins. It’s controlled chaos, day after day, drift after drift. It’s the kind of fishing that separates the gear that lasts from the gear that doesn’t.
After years of fishing offshore aboard the legendary Yankee Capts, Witch Doctor Tackle has crafted something special. A new series of rods designed straight from the deck to meet the extreme demands of multi-day, deepwater trips. The result is the Yankee Capts Series rods engineered not just for offshore fishing, but designed to handle everything from bottom fishing snapper or grouper in the Dry Tortugas and Halfway Ledge, all the way to deep dropping heavy weights in Pulley Ridge.
This isn’t just another offshore rod. Every detail in the Yankee Capts Series was formed by countless drops, heavy hits, and deepwater hauls from the Witch Doctor Tackle team’s own time on board. We set out to build a rod that could keep up with the relentless pace of a trip where you’re fishing 200+ feet down, dropping lead weights or vertical fishing all day while battling serious fish like snapper, grouper, and blackfin tuna.
At the heart of these rods is a proprietary Witch Doctor-designed Rainshadow dual-material blank with 30-ton graphite butt and a glass tip section, delivering extreme sensitivity and control from any depth. For added utility, Witch Doctor incorporated a hypalon and EVA grip, designed for comfort on extended battles and long drifts.
These rods aren’t just tough, they’re purpose built for the grind. Every curve, grip, and feature was shaped by firsthand experience and days spent sweating on the rail, pulling up monsters, and sleeping on deck just to do it all again the next morning. Our goal is to give any angler the confidence they need to control big fish and avoid losing that trophy fish.
We didn’t just want to make a rod that could survive these trips, we wanted to make one that could make them even better. Comfortable in your hands, reliable under pressure, and ready for whatever the Gulf throws at you.
If you’ve ever fished on the Yankee Capts, you know what it takes. Now there’s a rod that’s been through it too.
