KEY DESIGN FEATURES

• Advanced Multi-Piece Blank Design

  Constructed primarily with mid-modulus carbon sheets, complemented by high-modulus carbon integrated strategically into high-stress sections. This construction eliminates the heavy, sluggish feel typical of multi-piece travel rods, providing a crisp recovery and a beautifully seamless bending curve.

• Fuji Industry K-Guide Concept

  Outfitted with genuine Fuji K-Frame guides engineered to drastically reduce wind knots and line tangles. The layout follows a custom Major Craft (MC) original setting that prioritizes smooth line management, crisp operation, and structural strength matched to each blank's action.

• Hybrid Grip Design

  Fuses classic aesthetics with modern ergonomics by utilizing a premium cork and hard EVA split grip. Classic cork adds a timeless look, while high-density EVA is positioned right where you grip the rod hardest for non-slip, secure handling under load.

• Peace-of-Mind Warranty

  Every model comes complete with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering unexpected breakages, allowing for factory repairs or replacements under a standard deductible fee.
