This is the perfect rod for the fly fisherman who is really looking for a fine sensitive rod.
The rod can be seen as a classic trout rod.
The deep action makes the rod very sensitive and you feel every movement the fish makes right down to the handle.
Zense rods are equipped with a hollow handle, which allows the blade to flex freely inside the handle. Something ASI calls for free flex. The technology enables you to utilize more of the power potential in the blade and thus throw further with less effort.
The handle is oval shaped, which means you get a stable and comfortable grip. The design also helps make your casts go in a straighter arc. ( On the same principle as a hammer or axe. )
Freer movement gives a freer feeling.
That the blade can move freely inside the handle not only makes the rod more forgiving, it also makes the experience of drilling fish more sensitive. You get better contact with the fish while the rod is not as vulnerable to the fish's sudden shocks and rushes. The freer flex means that the claw is not as exposed to direct stress and the risk of losing a fish is reduced.
Technical details
Zense rods from ASI are built on extremely strong and durable blades, sturdy handles and rings in titanium. To cope with those stresses Free flex- the technology requires, the handle is made of one of the market's most durable carbon-composite materials with considerable strength and low weight. The Free-Flex rod has the latest nano-carbon technology and a Quick-Lock system for the reel.
The Quick-Lock system is CNC-milled aluminum 6061 with a margin of error of +/- 0.05mm. This means that the reel can be easily clicked in and out of the rod and makes the reel sit perfectly in place during the entire fishing trip. All aluminum parts are treated with Hard Anodize which makes them resistant to corrosion and salt water. All snake rings are made of 100% aluminium. Rod and handle are matt black with details in silver.
