Built with durability in mind the rod offers a lightweight graphite composite blank construction with modified actions for a more parabolic and forgiving bend. PENN s virtually indestructible one piece stainless steel Dura-Guides (no more insert popouts) and comfortable cork and EVA grips offer a traditional style and feel. This saltwater set up is truly up to the challenge.
