These 2-piece rods are made of very high quality Japanese carbon and equipped with a spigot joint. The soft top section gives the rod that ideal playing action, while the stiff center and lower part provide great casting characteristics. The ergonomic Fuji reel seat and balanced length of the handle makes fishing with these rods very comfortable. The carefully positioned guides with lightweight lining and coordinated sizes are resistant to intensive use of braided lines. The 3 included carbon tips (size M) are perfectly matched to the action of the rod and offer a clear bite indication.
