Designed by Richard Williams, a renowned guide on Kentucky lake, these rods are constructed with high modulus IM7 graphite to provide a fantastic blend of strength and sensitivity for those who prefer a slightly stiffer action. The handle is made of genuine Portuguese cork for maximum sensitivity and a lightweight feel. Aluminum oxide spinning guides allow for great casting if that's your preference. The extra-long painted tip allows for great visibility for even the softest of bites. This is a great all-purpose rod that will catch almost any species you desire.
