Equipped with premium lightweight Fuji reel seats as well, each rod also now features high quality AA cork split grip handles for reduced weight and all day comfort. The ultra sensitive yet durable graphite blanks are perfectly balanced with precise actions and tapers, and the new Fuji tangle-free K-guides with Alconite inserts also offer greatly improved durability, as well as, increased casting performance. The brainchild of the West’s all-time leading money winner, Gary Dobyns, the Champion XP series rods are not just made for a specific technique, each rod is built for improving and maximizing your effectiveness with that given technique. Setting the new standard for sensitivity, strength, weight and balance, the new Dobyns Champion Spinning Rods feature the same winning blanks as the original Champion Series and now come equipped with premium Fuji guides.
