Built with a blend of Torayca® M40X, T1100G, M40J, and T800S carbons, these rods strike the perfect balance between raw power and refined sensitivity. With NANOALLOY® technology reinforcing the blanks, they’re crisp, fast, and an absolute joy to fish with. Precision casting, responsive action – just class.
Ben SaysReel Seat & Grips
The APIA Palm Grip – it’s all about comfort and control. Designed to sit snugly in your palm, the EVA material ensures a secure grip, while the slightly raised back adds that extra bit of ergonomic finesse. The reel seat hood, crafted from shrink rubber, delivers direct sensitivity to your fingertips, making every twitch and vibration crystal clear.
