Finest AAA grade cork handle with custom made reel seat. Finished off with the latest KW series SIC guides. Cosmetically the rod is stunning with natural carbon finish featuring a recurring over weave creating a very pleasing and unique pattern. The whippings and metallic bright work are black currant. Except the 8’ 6” version, which being aimed at salt water and “popper” specialists is electric blue. The blank construction is 5 sections, with the butt and first section “put in”, this creates a very secure and strong connection, the other sections feature carbon spiggots for strength and to create a perfect action as if the rod was one continuous piece of carbon. 40 Ton Carbon ensures the rods have beautiful actions, responsive tips and powerful mid sections. Perfect for lure fishing, feeling and working the lure on the retrieve and the power for long casts and playing big fish. 40 Ton also means, the weight and balance of the rods is eceptional.
