OLD18 Knighthawk Series - 40-Ton Graphite Blank with X-Wrap, Split Cork Handle

Precision that travels with you

The Knighthawk Series is built for the Precision Strike Angler who values targeted casts and reliable performance. At its core lies a 40-ton graphite blank, designed to deliver sensitive feedback without weighing you down. The distinctive X-Wrap pattern adds visual appeal while contributing to durability and responsive action, so you can feel the difference with every lure and retrieve.

Thoughtful ergonomics help you fish longer without sacrificing control. The 8.5 inch split cork handle reduces fatigue, encouraging a confident grip in varied conditions—from drifting tides to windy shorelines. The combination of a lightweight feel and a secure hold supports steadier, more deliberate casting and steady reeling.

Durability meets smooth operation thanks to marine-grade components. 316 stainless steel guides resist corrosion, while zirconia insets minimize line friction for smoother line flow and consistent performance across sessions and weather. The one-piece construction further enhances sensitivity, making vibration transfer feel almost instantaneous in your palm.

In real-world use, you’ll notice that precision-focused casting translates to better lure control along structure, docks, and open water. The rod’s backbone supports confident hooksets, while the overall balance keeps you aligned with your target from the first cast to the last. These features don’t promise outcomes; they offer possibilities for clearer feedback, steadier casting, and more enjoyable days on the water.

Key benefits at a glance include focused accuracy, responsive action, all-day comfort, and dependable performance in diverse conditions. The Knighthawk Series is designed for anglers who value elite materials and a design that stands out at the water’s edge. Join the Knighthawk legacy—fish with precision, strike with power. Upgrade your arsenal and discover the potential in every cast.
