Product Features:

– Our USA made, NFC, hand-sanded, naked-graphite blanks, do not hide blemishes and are on average 20% lighter than their coated counterparts. All our blanks are hand-sanded to avoid sanding into the fibre, damaging it and creating a weak spot.

– Proprietary, made in the USA, offset seat for a lower sitting reel leads to better torque/rod roll control, increases casting accuracy, and enhances cradling of reel reducing wrist fatigue.

– Proprietary locknut for a vice-like grip eliminates rocking reels.

– Minimum epoxy on guide feet reduces weight and impact to blank action.

– All guides feature a recessed ring design (RRD) creating enhanced bonding between ring and frame while protecting ring from impact. Angled tri-legged frame design eliminates nearly all line wrap and improves casting distance and accuracy.

– Machine woven carbon fiber sleeve over a graphite silica arbor to provide the great sensitivity, with a comfortable texture. We call it EFX (edge first strike) or a Carbon-Tex grip.

– Titanium frame with Zirconium insert guides are corrosion resistant (saltwater) and 40% lighter than comparable models.
