We're proud of our Bionic Blades, and we're not afraid to tell you why. For years, our goal has been to become the best rod manufacturer in the world. (Our customers deserve no less.) Over time, we assembled a truly expert staff, gave them state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with access to the best materials and components, and challenged them to do what they do best, even better. You can see the results right here. The Bionic Blade is a beautiful rod, built on our own mandrels using our exclusive Powerwall construction process. The blank goes through the handle and is made of multilayer IM-8 graphite, rated at 45 million modulus, representing the perfect blend of sensitivity and power. The walls are thin but strong, and to ensure you'll have power to spare we've added a 3K Carbon Cloth overlay through the butt section, to increase "horseability" without gaining weight. But sensitivity is crucial too. Every model is fitted with light Fuji? Concept aluminum oxide guides, and we've developed new Full Contact slotted graphite reel seats that will put you in touch with the other end of your line like never before. The premium-grade cork handles are custom contoured for all-day comfort and easy handling. All in all, we think you'll agree: these are our best Bionic Blades ever, and they'll take a back seat to no other $80 rod on the market!Pre-equipped for use with the XPS?
