The Antares is built on a HPC200 blank with the addition of Biofibre, resulting in a fast, progressive action. The addition of Steady Cast vastly improves casting performance and ensures that your bait can be placed accurately time and time again. Fuji Alconite K-type guides help to ensure smooth, tangle free casting. Rapid heat transfer of the Alconite guides will cope easily with all types of line, giving it a longer lifespan. The natural Power Cork handle ages much slower than standard handles, making sure that the Antares DX maintains its superb performance.
