Specifications Assembled Length: 78 in Line Rating (Braid/Mono): 30 - 50 lb Jig Weight: 300 - 650 g Max Lead Weight (for Bottom Fishing): 48 oz Rod Action: Fast Rod Power: Extra Heavy Features Hand Wrapped in Stuart, FL: Every rod is hand-wrapped by skilled craftsmen right in Stuart, Florida, the fishing capital of the world. This hands-on attention to detail ensures consistent quality and a level of care no machine can match. Acid Wrapped Guides: Acid wrapped guides (or spiral wrapped guides) are when guides start on top of the casting rod (for the reel) and spiral around the blank to the bottom, combining the advantages of casting and spinning rods. This design eliminates rod twist/torque under heavy loads, significantly reducing angler fatigue and increasing stability when fighting large fish. EVA Grip: Lightweight and grippy, the EVA foam handle delivers all-day comfort even in wet conditions. Its non-slip texture gives you confident control whether you're jigging deep or locked into a long fight. USA Made Composite Blank: Crafted domestically from premium composite materials, the Patriot's blank delivers powerful yet sensitive action purpose-built for grouper and snapper. Proudly made in America, a blank that fishes as good as it feels. Triple Coated Finish: Three layers of premium epoxy coating seal every wrap and thread for maximum durability and a deep, glossy appearance. This multi-coat process protects against saltwater exposure while delivering a showcase-worthy finish. Fuji Sic Tip: The Fuji Silicon Carbide tip ring is the gold standard in fishing — ultra-hard and incredibly smooth, it reduces line wear and friction even under the sustained load of deep drops. It's the tip serious anglers trust. ALPS AT 20 Aluminum Reel Seat: The ALPS AT20 aluminum reel seat delivers rock-solid reel lockdown with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant build. Its precise machining ensures your reel stays exactly where you put it, drop after drop. Alps MXN Guide Train: The industry-leading ALPS MXN guide train delivers unmatched strength and consistent line-to-guide contact across every inch of the rod. These high-performance guides are built to handle the punishing demands of deep-water fishing.
