Saltwater-grade rods in this price category are usually better utilized as a coat hanger than a fishing tool. The Ion XL series does not fit that mold. Featuring a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the Ion XL is equally at home stripping flesh flies as it is dropping a merkin to a tailing permit. All models feature salt corrosion-resistant components. Four piece travel design Action: Med Fast to Fast Tube: Fabric-covered rod case & sock Guides: Oversized stripping guides Grips: Features 2 grip styles Reel Seat: Wood insert seat for standard models, black anodized seat on saltwater (S) models Warranty: Echo Lifetime Warranty
