Merisuola Graphene Fly Rods - 9'0" - 4 pieces We made a very successful upgrade for the XO rod series by introducing the XO Graphene rods. We wanted to do the same for the Merisuola range as Merisuola and Graphene are truly meant to be together. With this new material available for these rods and with it being the strongest tested material in the world these rods just beg to get out and hunt bigger predatory fish. When one of these rods is casted the first time the difference is noticeable right away. Graphene makes it possible to make stronger rods with less material which results action wise with unbelievable strength combined to smooth actions. The backbone of the Merisuola Graphene family consists of four piece lightweight fast action saltwater rods targeted at everything between the Caribbean bonefish, Baltic seatrout and the GT's of the Pacific. These rods incorporate everything we have learned during 20+ years of rod design and manufacturing.
