By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano´s Spiral X construction enhances anglers´ ´´catching power.´´ - HI-POWER X In Hi-Power X construction, the blank´s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of ´´X´´ shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler. - FUJI REEL SEAT Built to last, Fuji reel seats are designed with graphite nylon bodies, exclusive S-4 stainless steel hoods, with lined cushioned inserts to offer a lightweight reel seat with superior strength. Uniform design for increased comfort, and with self aligned hoods that provide a solid lockdown on your reel foot which will never back off while fishing. - Improved ergonomic and lightweight Ci4+ reel seat for the best comfort and grip during fishing action. - FUJI ALCONITE A strong and durable material, Alconite is the latest in a long line of ceramic rings developed by Fuji. Alconite is so durable that it can be made thinner than any other ring and is strong enough to handle the most demanding fishing styles.
