When we completely redesign a rod series we set out to make it dang near bionic. For proof, look no further than this year’s comprehensive makeover of the Avid Series® spinning rods. Top-to-bottom, we’ve refined everything about these rods. Re-engineered with IPC® technology. Built from high-modulus SCIII blanks with a sleek carbon pearl finish. All new cork handle shapes and trimmed out with Fuji’s Alconite® Concept Guide System. Our Avids have never been this sensitive, strong or lightweight. From light to medium to heavy, the designs are consistent up and down the power scale. There are 48 brand new models – including an expanded collection of salmon and steelhead rods – and each one is a technique- and species-specific design wonder. Hmmm. The words “while supplies last” come to mind. Handle 4.
