Favorite Black Swan Spinning Rods are the lightest, finest and most sensitive among the range of Favorite rods. A black matte rod with a neat barely noticeable logo and a simple handle shifts the emphasis from the design to the rod itself. But it also makes the rod stand out from the rest on the market.  The handle is made of classically shaped EVA based on the most functional IPS reel seats. The grips are constructed utilizing graphite arbors with minimal epoxy to lighten its weight. The rod is equipped with titanium Fuji guides with Torzite inserts or some models have Torzite frames with SiC guides for the optimum rod balance and performance.  The best ratio of different high modulus carbn was chosen for the rod's blank. The basis is Toray T1100G carbon, which was previously available exclusively for Japan. This carbon is 30% stronger than other prepregs of equal modularity. Therefore, we were able to use more high modulus 40-46 TON carbons for the blank without sacrificing strength.
