Okuma's Citrix Travel Rods feature IM8 Graphite blank construction for sensitivity and light weight. The rods are four piece and fit into a nice compact tube of about 24" length. They make use of a lightweight EVA split grip for reduced weight, with zero foregrip design for improved balance and weight reduction.Again, Okuma makes great use of ALPS stainless steel guide frames with Zirconium line guide inserts for use with both braided or mono lines. There's a Pac Bay Minima reel seat, anodized aluminum reel seat threads for strength and balance, a stainless steel hook keeper, and Okuma's limited lifetime warranty.
