This rod features a stiff, fast taper for accurate pin-point casting, the overall power to pull trophy fish from heavy cover pockets, and the sensitivity to detect subtle bites, all without sacrificing the rod's weight. The GLX blank provides exceptional sensitivity and lightness. Recoil guides (nickel titanium alloy) are used. These are ringless guides, essentially just metal frames, but they are extremely strong and lightweight, further enhancing the rod's light weight. All are one-piece. BCR855 GLX...
