Fast Action for Precise Lure Control

The fast action blank built from VTX45 carbon provides immediate feedback on every lure movement and strike. At just 179g, this 2.74m rod stays light in hand during extended sessions while offering the backbone needed for confident hooksets and fish control. The 10–28g casting weight range covers everything from swimbaits to medium-sized crankbaits and jerkbaits.

Premium Components for Reliable Performance

Fuji Alconite guides ensure smooth line flow and durability, while the custom wooden/aluminium reel seat and first-grade cork handle deliver exceptional comfort and secure grip. The classic look conceals cutting-edge construction that keeps weight down without sacrificing power.
