Conventional
GLX SHAKEYHEAD
Constructed from a proprietary blend of high-modulus graphite and advanced resin systems, the GLX blank achieves exceptional strength-to-weight balance and heightened sensitivity critical for finesse contact fishing. Formed on stepped mandrels with strategically placed micro-tapers, the action pairs a responsive tip for controlled shakes and line management with a smooth-engaging midsection that drives light-wire hooks home without overpowering light line. Fuji K SiC guides maintain clean line flow with braid-to-leader systems, while premium cork and a custom CI4+ reel seat enhance direct blank connection and all-day comfort. The GLX SHAKEYHEAD rod is for anglers who know finesse details convert follows into committed bites.

Ci4+ Reel Seat
CI4 is an original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.

TAPERTEC
The TaperTec design philosophy builds upon our heritage of rod-building innovation by leveraging mathematical modeling prior to mandrel production. Compared to an iterative rod-building approach, TaperTec allows our team to optimize rod designs and fine-tune actions before prototyping to shorten development timelines and minimize environmental impact. For anglers, TaperTec delivers lighter and more efficient tools with optimized weight and strength to boost effectiveness on the water.
