THE NOREASTER SERIES OF RODS IS DESIGNED JUST FOR THE NORTH EAST FISHERMAN. THE ROD FEATURES A ROUGH (UN-GROUND) FINISH FOR EXTRA STRENGTH, AND ALSO BETTER DURABILITY IN ROCKS AND OTHER ROD BREAKING TERRAIN. ROD BLANKS WERE MEANT TO BE BENT, NOT TWISTED. THEY’RE ALSO PROCESSED THROUGH OUR AUTOCLAVE WHICH MAKES THE BEST COMPOSITE AVAILABLE. WE HAVE ADDED ONE OTHER LITTLE BIT TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BLANK…A WOVEN CARBON FLAG AROUND THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE BLANK WHICH ADDS EXTRA FISH FIGHTING ABILITY AND MORE POWER IN THE CAST. THE FISHING ROD IS LIGHT, IT WON’T WEAR YOU OUT AFTER A FULL DAY OF SWIMMING, WADING, WALKING, AND FISHING.
