All rods in Temple Reef’s Metal Jacket series have several common characteristics. The Metal Jacket rods are well-balanced and responsive. This allows for accurate casts and less fatigue when fishing from sun-up to sun-down. For durability and longevity, they come equipped with quality components – from sturdy, double-footed guides and heavy-duty thread wrapping, to tight locking Fuji reel seats and comfortable EVA handles. The cosmetics are handsome and understated for a clean professional appearance.
Also common in all Metal Jacket rods are their incredible weight to strength ratio. These rods have a tremendous amount of reserve power throughout the mid and lower section of each rod. At no point will they leave you feeling underpowered when doing battle with trophy fish.
