The Tournament Concept series has recently received an upgrade with the introduction of the Tournament Concept Surf Pro. Designed for Kiwi anglers by the team at Composite Developments, this rod features an outer layer of longitudinal fibers around the rod blank to significantly increase the strength and power of the tip section. This enhancement provides up to four times the lifting power and strength of conventional graphite rods. Additionally, the number of guides has been reduced from 6 + Tip to 5 + Tip, and the guides have been made smaller to minimize line movement during casting. These improvements result in longer, more accurate casts.
