This series offers exceptional control, sensitivity, and power, catering to various fishing styles including handheld, set rod, and long-distance casting.
Advanced Construction for Superior Performance

The optimized guide sizes and joint structures contribute to improved operability and bite detection, ensuring anglers can respond swiftly to subtle changes underwater.
Premium Components and Functional Design
Equipped with titanium frame SiC guides and titanium ferrules, the rods offer durability and reduced weight for better balance and maneuverability. The ergonomic design includes features like resin-reinforced wooden butt ends and DPS-style reel seats, providing comfort and stability during prolonged use.
Conclusion
