The Salty Stage, a rod suitable for all fish species and suited to any saltwater game, has undergone its first full model change in 10 years.
This rod employs Abu Garcia's proprietary TAF (Triarchy Force) blank manufacturing method, previously reserved for high-end models.
The completely unpainted blanks are made from 100% domestic carbon and are equipped with FUJI SiC-S guides.
This is the XAJS-552ULT-ST ajing model.
Unusually for an ajing rod, it boasts a slow taper, ultra-light action, and a short length of 5 feet 5 inches.
The slow taper overcomes the drawbacks often associated with short models that sacrifice casting distance.
The repulsive force of the entire blank can be utilized to repel jig heads weighing less than 1g.
The TAF manufacturing method completely eliminates preconceived notions that slow tapers are heavy, sluggish, and lack sensitivity.
It achieves a lightness (weighing 47g) and sensitivity that matches the lift-and-fall style of jig head fishing.
