Featuring a parabolic blank in a compact 51 frame, the EXTREME CLIMBER 514 enables casts in tight spaces and maximal enjoyment throughout the fight. Smooth-bending design allows for effortless accuracy and distance, even with lightweight lures. A high-precision Spigot Ferrule Joint System transfers load along the blank with a natural bend curve, virtually eliminated the flat points traditionally associated with multi-piece rods. A collapsed size of 16 inches answers backpackers call to challenge mountain streams at the highest level. The EXTREME CLIMBER 514 is built for headwaters hidden beyond technical climbs, where the wild trout roam.
