01/Why this rig

When pelagics are up and feeding on the surface, the game is reach and reaction — long casts, fast retrieves and a drag that stops a screaming first run before it reaches structure. This pairing throws big stickbaits all day and has the stopping power to turn a yellowfin or GT on its first run.

01Patented M.C. cast control lets you launch big stickbaits all day without backlash
02Toray carbon popping blank loads heavy lures and soaks up violent headshakes
03Dual carbon-fibre drag delivers the instant stopping power topwater fish demand
04Light enough to work by hand for hours, strong enough for trophy GT
