Maximum graphite performance. The incredibly lightweight IM7 blank features Multi-Bias Laminate lay-up construction, which incorporates several graphite patterns individually rolled to maximize fiber alignment and reduce pattern overlap. This reduces the amount of graphite needed to produce a performance action, reduces the rod's overall weight, and enhances its sensitivity. Concept guide spacing improves sensitivity and blank strength, and the SS304 guides are 20 percent tougher and up to 55 percent lighter than conventional guides. Exclusive calibrated lock-down reel seat precisely and securely controls reel seat tensions.
