1 Year Limited Warranty
OANNES fishing rods are constructed with ‘Skill and Care’ and are extensively tested to ensure that each product not only meets – but exceeds your expectations.
Your OANNES fishing rod comes with a One Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and/or workmanship for consumer use only, excluding rental or commercial use. For all Australian consumers our warranty is not intended to limit a consumer’s rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
The warranty period is effective for all new rods from the date the product is purchased from an authorised OANNES dealer, to the original purchaser, for a period of 12 months within Australia and New Zealand.
This limited warranty does not cover any claims arising from normal wear and tear, accident, improper/misuse of the product, negligence or lack of adherence to the recommended servicing/maintenance for the product. If OANNES determines that the product has been modified or unauthorised alterations have been made to the rod, this warranty will be considered void. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this warranty does not cover claims or liability for any incidental or consequential damages arising from, or in connection to the product.
To make a claim under this warranty please visit www.oannes.com.au and complete the warranty claim form and accept the warranty/service conditions. Please print the form generated and send it with the rod, along with this warranty card, receipt of purchase (At your expense) to the service address listed on the claim form. Please ensure the rod is correctly packaged within the original case and it is packaged sufficiently to reduce any damage during transit. It is advised you adequately insure the goods and retain all shipping documents.
OANNES Rod Maintenance and Safety
Do not exceed the recommend line rating for your rod.
Never ‘High Stick’ your rod – Over bending your rod when fighting or landing a fish is commonly referred to high sticking. Always maintain a maximum load angle of 45 – 60 degrees when fighting a fish and these parameters should never be exceeded.
If your lure or rig becomes snagged always keep the rod pointed towards the snag and walk backwards keeping tension on the line. More than likely you will lose your tackle, but you cannot break your rod with this procedure.
Like a diamond, carbon fibre rods are incredibly strong but can be brittle – Be careful not to drop or hit them on hard surfaces, keep away from fans and don’t close car doors on them.
Fishing rods are designed to evenly distribute the stress over the entire rod blank – Never place your hand high above the reel seat to assist the rod, as this will actually increase stress and cause the rod to break. Always maintain a maximum load angle of 45 – 60 degrees and never high stick it.
Graphite carbon rods are excellent conductors of electricity – Never use a carbon fibre fishing rod during an electrical storm or near power lines.
After using your fishing rod in a saltwater environment, always wash your rod well with fresh clean water as soon as you can and pay particular attention to the guide rings and reel seat. You can apply light reel grease to on the guide metal – but use it sparingly.
Use caution when transporting your rod and always disassemble it and place the rod in the rod case during transport.
Use caution when winding your line in and never pull the swivel through the guide tip as this will damage guide ring.

Well what can I say about Oannes Berserker Drone series rod, I’ve always been a huge fan of Shimano rods and have 9 currently so it was a hard call to spend the money on something new to me. Took the Berserker out with a mate for a fish last weekend and paired it with a new shimano speedmaster 25 and all I can say after a session out with the Berserker is…. why the he’ll did I wait so long to buy one of these beast’s. Absolutely love my Berserker rod it handles those long drops with ease and with 2 different rod tips you can choose right fit for your session. I seriously cannot recommend the Oannes Rods highly enough. Will be back in the new year to look at another Oannes rod

I have now owned my Oannes Berserker rod for close to a year. Prior to owning the Berserker rod I was battling along with a Samaki Zing surf rod. Once I got my Berserker the game had changed. Firstly the Berserker is almost two rods in one with a heavier tip that’s stiffer in action or the lighter tip when chasing the more lighter action stuff. For that reason alone I love the options the Berserker brings. The rod itself is a beast of a rod and 12ft in length and perfect for the big surf beaches or headlands that I usually fish. There is a lot of fish spirit breaking power in this rod compared to other standard 12ft beach rods that I have owned. The craftsmanship on the Berserker is awesome. The sleek black finish amazing and the artwork is dope! I have matched my Berserker up with both a Shimano Stella 18k spinning reel or a Shimano Tyrnos 30 over head reel, depending on what I’m chasing or the heaviness of the rod tip that I choose. The rod also comes case, then each rod piece is separated into a sleeve cover, it pack’s away compact and safe. For the travelling and exploring that I do, It is perfect. I love feeling of crushing the beach with Berserker in hand and drone in the backpack. I highly recommend the Oannes Berseker rods. Jim

I purchased this rod so that my little feller could get into shark fishing with dad, It has been paired it up with a PENN Fathom 30 auto guide reel and Oannes Braid.
A few weeks back we gave it a good run when a 2.14m Bronzie picked up his bait on a 250m drop.
Using the higher rated tip my boy 8yo was able to land his first shark within 25min, very proud dad moment & amazing stick.

I own both a berserker and its predecessor the valkyrie. Both are excellent rods. Great sensitivity for such a solid rod.
Paired with a big spinning reel and your in for a good time.

Highly recommended this rod. Well balanced, when hooked up to a big fish the rod takes the load not your body. I’ve hooked up a couple rays with the rod matched with speedmaster 25. Easy pulls them. Also be used for casting lures. Can use a spin or overhead. I’ve used assassin, penn etc. I honestly can say that the beareker feels alot better then the assassin around the same price rang. Also can’t beat the customer service is great

Simply awesome rod. It’s my daily go to. Rod is built to the highest of standards without paying a absolute fortune. I’ve certainly put this rod to the test and everyone I use it amazed at its strength, especially without loosing its sensitivity on smaller species. Highly recommend from the novice to fully experienced fisherman or woman. You won’t be disappointed 👌

Just purchased the Berserker less than a week ago. Brought for the drone however the wind was to strong so use it off the rocks and landed a 57cm blue bone. Could feel the strike straight away, the power of the Berserker prevented the blue bone heading back to the reef. Great rod.
