The dual-tapered HMX has a responsive IM6 graphite blank strengthened by cross-scrim graphite from tip to butt. The graphite fibers run perpendicular to the action fibers to achieve exceptional crush-proof resistance. You'll get tired of sitting in the boat long before your hands get tired holding the HMX rod. The Santoprene soft-touch reel seat is ergonomically designed to prevent hand fatigue. Plus the insert-molded grip and trigger have a 65 durometer coefficient of friction, so you'll have a solid comfortable grip wet or dry. The stainless steel guides are chromium-plated for extra hardness and wear resistance for years of use in dirty, abrasive conditions.Using new technology for the fly tackle industry, the Sierra reels are fitted with a teflon disc drag, and a one-way clutch roller bearing. This system allows for super smooth drag action engaged only in one direction. The sierra drag allows for drag free retrievals when re-spooling line. The drag is easily converted by simply reversing the bearing direction.Sierra reels are made from die cast aluminum. They are machined, brushed smooth, and finished with corrosion resistant, classic black enamel. The frame and spools are ported, producing extremely light, yet durable reels. Smooth, exposed rims make palming comfortable and effective
