The LAX 8100 was developed as a lightweight, powerful single-handed rod for sea trout and salmon. Its construction combines HI-CARBON and graphene fibers in a four-piece blank. The SIC guide rings are followed by Recoil Titanflex titanium serpentine guides. The reel seat and other components are selected for saltwater durability. The handle is made of AAAA cork, and the blank features a dark blue finish. This unique 10' model is ideal if you want a #8 rod that maintains enough length to control the line while remaining easy to handle with one hand.
