COMMAND THE WATERThe X rod&&';;s all-new fast action taper built with our KonneticHD Technology delivers greater blank recovery and a crisper tip stop - creating tighter, more efficient loops throughout all ranges of casting styles. This taper allows you to dig deeper into the rod and access the lower sections, shifting power closer to the angler. Decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank result in a more accurate and efficient presentation, resulting in a performance driven, forgiving fast action blank - refining the synergy between angler, rod, line, and fly.Features Handcrafted on Bainbridge Island, USA KonneticHD TechnologyA(R) Black Spruce blank color Dark Green thread wraps with Metallic Grey trim wraps Fuji ceramic stripper guides Hard chromed snake guides and tip-top Freshwater 3 - 6 weights: Vera wood insert with Stealth Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat Flor grade snub nosed half-wells cork handle Saltwater 5-10 weights: Stealth Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat Integrated hidden hook keeper in reel seat Flor quality full-wells cork handle with EVA fighting butt Laser etched line weight on slide band Black rod bag with Titanium logo and Black Spruce model tag Evergreen powder coated aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion
