Features:
A. This series features a Fuji SiC Guide strategically placed on the top guide ring. SiC (silicon carbide) is renowned for its exceptional hardness and low friction, making it crucial for anglers using PE braided line as it effectively reduces heat and wear generated by high-speed line release during casting, ensuring smooth and durable line flow.
B. Except for the top guide ring, all other guides utilize Fuji New Concept Guides.
C. The rod is wrapped with "X-Carbon Ribbon," significantly enhancing its torsion resistance and anti-twist performance. Multi-section rods, with their numerous connection points, are more susceptible to torsion and stress concentration when subjected to force. X-Carbon Cloth Wrapping technology precisely addresses these potential weaknesses, ensuring stable power transfer and precise control when casting or fighting a fish.
D. The rod grip features an "X-Rubber Grip" design, with an X-shaped rubber strip wrapped around the EVA grip. This design significantly enhances grip, reducing the risk of slipping when wet or during intense fishing, providing a more stable and comfortable feel for casting or fishing.
E. This series offers rods in 5-, 6-, and 7-section sizes. The shortest model has a stowage length of just 41.7 cm, making it easy for anglers to stow their rods in carry-on luggage or backpacks, eliminating the need for checked baggage.
F. Each rod comes with a dedicated semi-rigid storage case, effectively protecting it from impact and damage during transport, significantly enhancing its durability and reliability.
