The progressive action is able to cast a mile away whatever lure, even the smaller and the lighter. The SiC guides, whose frame is salt water protected, are braided friendly. We put extra care designing the perfect handle: it is a full natural cork with rubber butt cap to protect the handle itself from scratches. We like to highlight the great quality of these rods despite their extremely reasonable price, really affordable to everybody. The Gryphon rods are reliable and strong enought o be also used in salt water conditions.
