The Lightning Rod is offered in a variety of specifications with components like stainless steel guides, double-locking reel seat, and rubberized cork wrapped full handles
The rod is a little heavy and lacks the sensitivity of a full-carbon rod, but the low price allows the GX2 to fit in anyones budget
It also comes with an AIRDRIVE ROTOR & AIRDRIVE BAIL with a solid bail wire for its rigidity and resistance to bending during normal use, the thinner, smaller wire is also lighter, which reduces the weight of the rotation, thus reducing the weight of the reel
I havent noticed the spool width making much difference in use
Knowing all models reviewed here fall within the 9, 4-5wt range with medium/fast action, and the expectation of pre-spooled reel with backing and fly line at the very minimum, our top contenders also include a rod tube for traveling and storage, and most come with a leader to further minimize your purchases before actually fishing
