The rod is made up of 3 distinct layers. The tip section has a spiral core of high strength fibreglass and/or carbon. Then a spiral woven coat of glass fibre/high carbon tape with carbon fibres runs horizontally up the blank.

The butt sections are made in the traditional rolled manner to give a faster, modern action.
This produces a light, fast action blank, 35% stronger than normal rods and yet retains the classic clear tip in most cases.]]></description>

<p><strong>The Penn 535 GS </strong> is a high speed casting reel is suited for casting, jigging, live bait fishing, or fast cranking lures. Precision machined stainless steel pinion gears and bronze alloy main gears make the 535GS more than a match for any fish. 4 aircraft quality ball bearings and a one way infinite anti reverse bearing provide ultra smooth performance.</p>
<p>The Penn 535 has long been dominant on rough ground marks where power reigns supreme. This reel just keeps on going, taking all anglers can throw at it. But all the time there is the ability to plant leads at extreme distances should the need arise. Also and excellent reel for shad fishing from boat. </p>

Their special wide gape and super sharp point makes then perfect for mounting bulky baits like crab, squid and mackerel. The smaller sizes are also ideal for fishing live sandeels for bass and pollack. The larger sizes are great for replacing the hooks supplied in most artificial eels, and one of the best qualities of the Manta is the fact that they will bend out under extreme pressure if they become snagged.</p>

<p>Geko 301&#8217;s built-in electronic compass tells you what direction you&#8217;re heading, even when you&#8217;re standing still. Its barometric altimeter pinpoints your precise altitude and even tracks pressure trends over the last 12 hours, so you can keep an eye on changing weather conditions. Like the 201, Geko 301 can save up to 500 waypoints, create and save routes, track your travels with a trip computer and connect to your PC for data storage.</p>

You can save locations in memory as waypoints (up to 500 of them), so you can always find your way back to any important place, such as your campsite or vehicle. Geko also lets you put several waypoints together to create and store routes to all of your favourite places.</p>

<p>Geko&#8217;s trip computer can tell you how far and how fast you&#8217;ve traveled. And at the end of the day, you can connect your Geko to your PC and transfer your waypoints and tracks.</p>
