CoddRod Swimbait Rod

The CoddRod is a 7'7" fast-action powerhouse — rock solid yet featherlight — built to dominate a wide range of big fish applications. Whether you're locked in close-quarters combat with straight braid or bombing long-distance casts with swimbaits, its skeletonized carbon fiber frame and hyper-sensitive blank deliver unmatched strength, balance, and feel. Designed to be a true do-it-all machine, the CoddRod sets a new standard for anglers chasing trophy fish.

The CoddRod is built for anglers who want a more technical, performance-driven approach to swimbait fishing—combining control, stability, and sensitivity in a distinctive, purpose-built design.

Designed with a fast action, it delivers the power needed for controlled hooksets while maintaining the responsiveness required to stay connected to your bait.

This rod stands out—not just in how it performs, but in how it’s built.


Built for Versatility

Rated for ½–2oz baits, the CoddRod covers a wide range of applications:

  • line-through swimbaits
  • soft glides
  • Alabama rigs
  • mag spoons
  • flipping and frog applications

Acid-Wrapped for Stability

The CoddRod features acid-wrapped guides, repositioning the line under the rod.

This design:

  • reduces torque under load
  • improves balance when fighting fish
  • increases control throughout the fight

Direct Contact, Increased Sensitivity

The CoddRod is designed to keep you connected to your bait.

The exposed blank reel seat allows your hand to maintain direct contact with the blank—enhancing sensitivity and improving feedback throughout the retrieve.


Controlled Power

The fast action provides a more direct, controlled feel—allowing for confident hooksets and better command over the fish during the fight.


Built with Premium Components

Serious anglers care about components—and the CoddRod delivers both performance and presence.

  • Built on a high-performance Toray carbon fiber platform developed with North Fork Composites, balancing responsiveness with durability.
  • Equipped with Fuji K-Series double-foot guides, arranged in an acid-wrap configuration for improved performance under load.
  • Features a glossy black compressed carbon fiber skeleton-style reel seat, designed to reduce weight while maximizing sensitivity through direct blank contact.
  • Finished with a custom hybrid carbon fiber and EVA full grip, combining the lightweight feel and visual appeal of carbon fiber with the durability and comfort of EVA and cork at key contact points.

Why CoddRod

The CoddRod is built for anglers who want a more technical, responsive rod—without sacrificing power or durability.

Its unique construction delivers a combination of stability, sensitivity, and standout design that sets it apart from traditional swimbait rods.

Very well pleased!!

Didn't think I actually needed this rod until I fished it. I own 3 leviathans and they all havnt disappointed. This has to be my favorite rod I’ve put my hands on. It can do literally a little bit of everything. This rod is never left behind on my trips, it is a true power house for its size and weight. If they’re in stock and your on the fence, I totally recommend!!!

My “do it all” stick

This rod is a do it all stick. Paired with a 200 size reel, it’s the perfect combo to throw anything from a k9 to a failsafe. Another gap it fills for me is small to medium softies. Great for skipping citizens and flags.

Premium equipment

Definitely premium rod. Using it to throw 1 to 3 oz soft baits right now. Love the look and feel. Can’t wait till frog season next year to. Will probably throw heavy jigs on it as well.

Great rod.

The Codd rod: Nice fast tip with a parabolic bend. The carbon handle is great and feels good in the hand, but it’s very light so the rod is a bit tip heavy. I waited a while for the rod to get back in stock and I’m glad I got one!!

I own multiple rods from leviathan this by far is my favorite. This rod can do alot of things extremely well and i love that carbon fiber handle.

Codd Rod Excellence!

I received this rod today and it was exceptionally packaged. The Codd Rod is beautiful and may be the nicest piece of outdoor equipment Ive ever held, and I have quite the appetite for premium gear. I paired it up with an Antares DC MD and gonna sling the **** out of some swims and glides. To my wife's chagrin, I will be purchasing many more of these rods.

Rod came packaged the very best in a pvc tube and was wrapped perfectly on the inside with bubble wrap. The rod itself is a beautiful work of art and light as a feather and made in the USA of Texas
