United Composites GUSA Premium Rods

The GUSA Premium line of rods and blanks expands on the already great GUSA series with the addition of a spread tow, 2×2 twill pattern graphite weave. As complicated as it sounds, this is a popular graphite weave for strength and cosmetics in the automotive and aerospace industries that adds to the hoop strength and sensitivity of the blank. With this extra layer you gain an extra line class on the top end line class of the rod compared to the GUSA rods. It gives the RGP rods and GP blanks a faster action than the GUSA series which can be preferable in certain applications such as live bait or heavy bottom fishing.

The standard model of the rod comes with a graphite Fuji reel seat and rubber gimbal while the Plus version comes with an aluminum Alps reel seat and gimbal.

From the manufacturer

United Composites USA has taken West Coast saltwater fishing rods in a very different direction. In keeping with the foundation of the success of the company, each of the premium rods incorporate the trademarked dual helix design element. However, on top of bringing incredible strength and durability they have added yet another piece of the puzzle in a flat tow woven carbon reinforcing layer. It brings a level of beauty along with enhanced strength and power to an already extraordinary product.

The GUSA Premium series is the first in company history dating back to the original innovation by Richard Kantner, where up to four different materials are used to create the right actions at incredibly light weights. We believe that Mr. Kantner would be pleased with the creativity and use of a variety of materials to continue on the tradition of leading the industry in innovation.

The GUSA Premium is the most advanced, most innovative product to have ever come from the production shop at United Composites.
