Description
BlankSpiral-X Technology
– In collaboration with Shimano, the Asquith is the first fly rod ever built to use Shimano’s new ‘Spiral-X’ technology. In addition to making the rod lighter, Spiral-X is said to increase power transfer from tip to hand and increase sensitivity.
The blank has a dark green color and dark green wraps. It’s got understated beauty.
Guides
Fuji SiC Stripping Guides w/Titanium Frame

These guides are fitted with Silicon Carbide inserts that are diamond polished for reduced drag and improved casting performance.
Titanium and Nickel Snake Guides – The Asquith comes standard with top-of-the-line titanium snake guides to help you shoot line further.
