Composite graphite rods combine the best characteristics of both fiberglass and graphite. Fiberglass is tough! It can withstand the dings and scapes common to the average fishing trip. Graphite fibers might be more delicate but they add lightness, power and sensitivity to the finished rod. Balancing each materials contribution to the design of a rod is a painstaking process. The MARADO rod engineers have spent lots of time on prototypes for the new MX-1000 series and the results are in. They are winners!

A precise balance of durability and sensitivity can be found in each MX-1000 rod. Actions are tuned to handle a wide range of casting chores and still have enough resilience to set hooks powerfully and control the hardest fighting fish. EVA foam grips will last almost forever. Hardloy style aluminum oxide guides are light and strong. And, the graphite screw down reel seats are corrosion proof. These rods are sure to be a standard in your tackle selection.
