C-12 | A decade of development in every cast.

The new C-12 isn’t just lighter or stronger — it’s the result of 10 years of tuning what makes a Samaki rod feel ‘right’.
Built on Samaki's latest carbon blank technology, the 2025 C-12 drops 20% in weight while gaining the speed, balance, and responsiveness that only time and refinement can deliver.
Every detail serves a purpose.
The blank is tuned to load instantly and recover clean.
The custom Samaki carbon reel seat with click-lock keeps your connection rock solid.
Fuji K & LKW SiC guides are positioned with precision for perfect line control and maximum blank performance.
Tactile tapered cork grips provide sensitivity when it matters and power when you need it.
Tested, broken, rebuilt, and refined by the Samaki pro team, the C-12 represents everything we’ve learned — distilled into one rod, finished in stealth black and silver, and built for Australian species and conditions.

C-12 Carbon Blank

The new C-12 series features Samaki’s latest carbon blank technology, delivering a lighter, stronger, and more responsive rod than ever before.

This advanced construction uses a precision blend of Japanese Toray carbon fibre, laid at 45-degree multi-directional angles to enhance strength, power transfer, and blank recovery.

A multi-stage curing process further refines the structure, resulting in a crisp, fast-responding blank with exceptional sensitivity and control under load.

To ensure long-term durability and a premium finish, all bindings are completed with a dual-layer epoxy system. The base coat provides deep penetration and superior bonding strength, while the outer layer delivers a high-transparency, high-hardness gloss finish with excellent adhesion once cured.

Carbon Fibre Reel Seat

The Samaki custom carbon fibre reel seat is constructed from a high-strength, rigid carbon composite, reducing overall weight while maximising sensitivity and feel.

Designed to transmit even the finest vibrations directly to the angler’s hand, it enhances feedback and control.

Finished with a precision click-lock ring, the reel seat securely locks the reel in place for absolute confidence on every cast and hook-set.

To ensure long-term durability and a premium finish, all bindings are completed with a dual-layer epoxy system. The base coat provides deep penetration and superior bonding strength, while the outer layer delivers a high-transparency, high-hardness gloss finish with excellent adhesion once cured.
