As the name suggests, a wide gap hook has a relatively large distance between the point and shank

The X-Series features premium components, like a quality EVA foam and cork split grip, Fuji guides with SiC inserts, and a 46-ton Toray carbon blank

Each of the casting rods is equipped with SeaGuide HSC Hyper-Sensitive Carbon Reel Seat and the spinning models feature Fuji VSS reel seat, each casting model provides a comfortable and secure grip, even in wet conditions
