The North Coast Salmon and Steelhead Series are designed and crafted for the acute demands of those pursuing these marvelous gamefish in river, lake or ocean. The blanks are constructed from IM7 graphite, a composite with a long illustrious history in high-end rod building. Lightweight yet durable Titanium Oxide Ring Guides are added to the quality blanks. They are designed to pay out long casts while still sensitive to the bend of the rod. The rod tips are dipped in Fluorescent Orange Paint, a great visual for strike detection. Craftsmanship is backed up by a Limited 1-Year Warranty.
