Workhorse rods are built from high-performance graphite-composite blanks with a tip made from uni-directional solid E-glass for the strength and durability to win the battle. The butt is wrapped with woven graphite for added power. Chromium SS304 guides add to the rod's overall toughness while reducing the rod's weight. Cork grips are comfortable and secure.
