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.
