Default Latest Rod.

The TICT "Ice Cube Rockin' Drift" is here! Bottom section of 2 piece rod is a Toray 50 ton blank. The top section of the rod is all solid SP-Carbon. The guide frames are titanium with Torzite ceramic inserts. Rated for .8 - 3 pound mono. Lure rating is 1/275 - 3/16. If a fish sniffs my lure he is mine....LOL. As soon as I can get on the water giving this rod a workout. It is a 6'9" that weighs 2.4 ounces. It is not whippy as we have come to know UL rods we have here...it is a fast action. The tip is only .7 mm diameter. I looked and looked to find a rod from Japan that would compare to the Phenix Iron Feather....and this is it. While I won't try it I have seen videos where the tip is pulled down to the same level as the butt..or maybe even lower. Yet it has plenty of backbone for bigger trout and Smallies. It is 99 percent graphite with only one percent resin. How they do it over there I don't know but they sure put out some good stuff.


Regards
