The Co-MATRiX 457 provides a well balanced combination of power, sensitivity and performance in one award winning series of rods. Truely innovative, each Co-MATRiX rod evolves from the integration of two separate and distinctively different manufacturing processes. Filament winding, which is used in the lower section of the rod to provide maximim hook set and castability and our proprietary Multi Modulus tip section, designed to provide the ultimate combination of lure presentation, rod control and sensitivity. Also featured on each Co-MATRiX rod is our superbly designed "Comfort Grip" which combines Hypalon and high quality Portuguese cork into what has been said to be the most comfortable grip ever to grace a fishing rod. A removeable Nylon cap allows weight to be added to the butt for precise balancing to ones personal specifications. Sensitivity is kicked up a notch through the use of Fuji Hardloy guides at "Concept" spacing. Add a Fuji ECSM graphite filled Nylon 6 reel seat and you have a rod to be reckoned with by any fish that swims.
