The flexible ML class tip will enable anglers to easily cast out small (20~40g) jigs and smaller hard lures for a more finesse approach. The M class butt power can allow for a more speedy power game against your target species in crowded and rugged areas using PE3. The fusing of the contradicting characteristics of torque, required to overcome the thrashing blue runners, and lightness, for anglers to maintain concentration throughout the day, will assist you on your next adventure out to the rocks.
