The rods are built using parabolic carbon in the butt and middle sections for great fish playing action, but use high-modulus carbon in the tip for fast recovery when casting and lightning reactions when hitting fast bites. The guides are sized to enable anglers to use Glide rods with fixed spool reels or centrepins, with a larger diameter guide-set that allows you to use stronger reel line. Finished with a quality full cork handle and stunning cosmetics, these rods are equally at home on rivers and stillwaters.
