Mystic Spinning Rod

Andrew Landicho and his son are highly skilled rod builders who take real pride in their craft and stand behind every rod they produce. I own two Mystic models — the Medium‑Heavy and the Medium — and they’ve become my go‑to choices for light inshore work. Whether I’m fishing back bays or calm inlets for blues, albies, Spanish, fluke, reds, or snook, these rods handle it all.

Most of my fishing with them involves ¼–1 oz plastics on weighted hooks or light jigs, and the performance is exceptional. I own more than a dozen rods in the $800–$1500 range and have fished from the Keys to Montauk for over three decades. Mystic rods deliver the same level of build quality, technology, and attention to detail as rods costing ten times as much — literally. Reviewed by: Michael Edgar

There’s so much to love about this rod and the company that builds it. I honestly just don’t know where to start, how about the fact that the first time out fishing with these Rods we placed second place in a fishing tournament, not only that, but when I had taken my wife out the following weekend, we got on a big school of redfish in which she kept high sticking the rod and scaring me that she might snap it. I was amazed to see the flexibility and durability of this rod. Not only is it crafted with care and built to Bend but They also have an outstanding warranty. after fishing with these rods and some of the other ones this company has to offer I don’t ever see myself not having a boat full of them!

I love the sensitivity and it is one of my best rods that I have because of the casting distance and the strength while still being lightweight and sensitive!

I am always impressed with the rods coming from Dragonfly. The mystic really knocks it out of the park. I got mine from avid angler. It has been a redfish SLAYER so far.

The Mystic Rod from Dragonfly Tackle is without doubt one of the finest rods I’ve ever used. It is incredibly sensitive and stands up to a good amount of abuse. The built in measurements also come in handy in a pinch. And the best part is that the rod is made right here in North Florida.
