The SCIII graphite blanks use Integrated Poly Curve tooling for continuous-curve tapers, increased sensitivity and hoop strength. Kigan Master Hand Zero Tangle guides with solid titanium frames offer superb saltwater- corrosion protection. The super-grade cork handles are tipped with corrosion-proof wind checks.
