The Level Rods NGX Cork Casting Rods bring the trusted NGX performance platform to a cork-handle build, offering tournament-level responsiveness and strength with a more traditional grip feel. Designed in collaboration with two-time Bassmaster Classic Champion Hank Cherry, each rod is constructed on a lightweight 30/40 Ton Toray Carbon blank, reinforced with a full Carbon X-Wrap for added power, increased durability, and heightened sensitivity throughout the blank. Tangle-free guides reduce line slap and improve casting efficiency, while the lightweight injected carbon reel seat and carbon locking hood enhance sensitivity by transmitting subtle vibrations directly to your hand. The NGXC Series delivers the balance, strength, and feel needed for precise techniques and consistent hooksets when every bite matters. 30/40 Ton Toray Carbon blank delivers sensitivity and power Full Carbon X-Wrap increases strength and durability Lightweight injected carbon reel seat with carbon lock cap Tangle-free guides promote smoother casting and retrieves Cork handle adds traditional grip comfort Designed in collaboration with Hank Cherry for competitive performance Manufacturer's 5 year limited warranty
