Built for today’s modern action rods and for when guides demand the best performance from their clients, the new Liquid Crystal Guide Taper has equal ability to perform quick shots and shoot long distances. Ideal for both backcountry and ocean fishing scenarios, the hard PE+TM coating has a super-smooth finish with an exceptionally low coefficient of friction so it’s able to shoot under mangroves for redfish and snook yet land soft enough for laid-up tarpon. The coating is permanently fused to the core so there is minimal line stretch — for unequaled strike detection and hooksets.
