Advanced Blank Construction

• Spiral X Core Technology: Triple-layer carbon fiber architecture eliminates blank twist and maximizes power transmission for aggressive jigging and powerful hooksets on hard-mouthed species
• Hi-Power X Reinforcement: Strategic X-wrap carbon tape in critical stress zones prevents blank deformation under extreme loads and increases lifting power by up to 10%
• High-Modulus Carbon Fiber: Powerful yet responsive blank delivers the sensitivity to detect strikes while providing maximum backbone to turn big fish away from structure
• Progressive Power Taper: Fast-action tip section provides precise jig manipulation while the reinforced mid-section and butt deliver maximum vertical lifting authority

Premium Components for Heavy-Duty Performance

• Fuji Titanium SiC Guides: Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant frames with ultra-smooth inserts handle the punishment of constant vertical jigging with thick braided line
• Fuji Reel Seat: Reinforced construction with heavy-duty hoods provides rock-solid reel mounting under maximum load conditions
• EVA Fore Grip: Ergonomic, non-slip handle provides superior leverage and control during aggressive overhead jigging
• Reinforced Guide Train: Strategically positioned guides maintain optimal line angle for vertical presentations and distribute stress evenly across the blank

The powerful blank provides the leverage to work heavy jigs with aggressive sweeps and the authority to drive hooks home and control the fight from start to finish.
