The Mirage is composed of an advanced Carbon Fiber we called Net V. Traditional glass blanks tend to be heavy, thicker in diameter, and lacks backbone. The Net V gives the Mirage a very soft and forgiving action while maintaining a solid backbone. The thin diameter of the Net V blank permits the Mirage to be extremely light and balanced. All the two-piece Mirages are 50/50 split. This allows for compact storage and travel while ensuring the performance of a one-piece rod.
