The incredibly short transport length of the XS CMT rod range makes these rods very unique. A sliding handle section creates a “semi telescopic” function without losing the original action of a 2 piece rod. XS CMT rods include a custom rubber butt which provides a shock-resistant buffer for the rods while resting on the ground. The unique internal design of the butt section also protects the sliding blank securely during transport. Each XS CMT rod includes a neoprene rod protector which ensures the rod stays in excellent condition and is also great for storing an assembled rod. The rods are built using stainless steel TDG Seaguides which are very light with a wider inner diameter than conventional ceramic guides. Visit the product page for more Strategy products.
