Design and materials

The blank benefits from Spiral X Core, which helps minimize torsion for steadier line control as you guide a jig through the water. Hi-Power X reinforces the backbone, enabling crisp recovery and strong energy transfer during casts and retrieves. A CI4+ reel seat reduces overall weight while maintaining a comfortable grip for long sessions on deck or shore.

• Spiral X Core for improved line control and feel
• Hi-Power X enhances backbone and sensitivity
• CI4+ reel seat lowers weight without sacrificing durability

Real world use and feel

In practice, the rod delivers a responsive tip that loads smoothly into jigging actions, with clear feedback when a strike clamps down. The 1-piece construction supports sensitivity, helping you notice subtle taps in varying saltwater currents and depths.

• Ideal for slow jigging in deeper water and mid range casting
• Sturdy enough for paddling through tough pulls while staying controllable
