About the Volition 10' #7

Our goal was to make a 7 weight that felt like a 6 or even a 5 weight to cast. 

The rod had to be schizophrenic. It needed to be a 5 weight one day and an 8 weight another day. Sometimes in the same day. We broke it down. The goals:

• No hingeing between the mid and tip section
• Bend into the handle
• Load very short and become a 5 weight when needed
• Cast very long distances with streamers when needed
• Feel like a parabolic full flex rod
• Cast into Argentinian winds (this was just for Tom!)
• Generate very high line speed
• Handle sinking lines, long heads and distance casting strokes 

Stats

• Weight : 116g
• 4 piece unground natural carbon blank
• K series anti friction strippers
• Balanced full flex action 
• Hard anodised saltwater resistant reel seat with anti jam threads.
• Alignment dots
• Aluminium tube
