Ande Rods Tournament 5000 Series Saltwater Spinning Rod - The Ande tournament 5000 series spinning rod delivers high-quality IM6 graphite composite construction. These custom-look rods provide full-length, high modulus graphite sensitivity in a strong one-piece blank. This rod can be efficiently fished from rod holders thanks to the full-length blank-through-butt design and tough gimbal butt with its removable cushioned protective cap. Full-length grips are light and durable EVA foam for years of wear. All reel seats are constructed with corrosion-proof graphite and cushioned stainless steel hoods for sure, corrosion-proof reel mounting. Aluminum oxide guides are shock mounted. Highly polished rings are mounted in strong, braced frames and will help line flow while protecting against wear. Attractive nylon thread wraps are protected with a high gloss epoxy finish.
