Durable Construction and High-Quality Components
The blanks in the Moonshot series are constructed from high-modulus carbon, ensuring that the rods remain lightweight while maintaining strength and durability. The stainless steel guides with SiC inserts further enhance the performance of these rods, reducing line friction and improving cast smoothness. Additionally, the uplocking reel seat provides a secure hold for your reel, enhancing the overall sensitivity and control when fishing.
