Crafted from premium six-strip Tokin bamboo and 18% nickel silver ferrules, it ensures optimal energy transfer and durability.
Engineered for freshwater species including trout, brook trout, and smallmouth bass. The 8ft 2pc configuration balances portability and accuracy, particularly effective for tight quarter casting in narrow streams. Comes standard with agate stripping guide and hardwood reel seat, with optional custom color schemes available.
