The Redington Predator Salt Rod + Tube is built around Nano Resin Graphite blank technology, a construction method that distributes casting force through the blank for a smoother stroke and reinforced deformation resistance when a big fish runs. Fast-action, progressive flex cuts through wind with accuracy while still loading deep enough to fight hard against large saltwater species. Chrome-plated, ceramic-insert guides and a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum reel seat hold up against the demands of a saltwater environment day after day. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've put real pressure on this rod fighting fish that don't give up easy, and it never feels like it's about to fold. The blank still throws a tight, accurate loop even after several rounds of pulling hard against something strong."
