Built on KISTLER KC9 Extremely High Modulus Blanks - 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray. A dental surgeon requires a fine instrument to do his delicate work, the Helium blank is a fine instrument, meant for the most delicate of bites. A surgeon does not use his fine instrument to chisel, hammer or pull teeth, he uses a different tool for that. Metallic blue on navy blue thread colors. Bold in its simplicity, our most popular rod to-date makes the Helium a stunning example of how peak performance and beautiful design really does define the way fishing should feel. Lighter Than Air We're talking 3.5 oz light. It’s where the Helium rod gets its name. It’s what it feels like fishing with the Helium. Sleek tapered grade a cork handle, corrosion control stainless steel guides, and a fuji reel seat each cut weight and give power and sensitivity to the helium. We hear this all the time: “Light and sensitive... With plenty of backbone.” It’s what you get with Helium. Blank Kistler KC9 Extremely High Modulus Blanks - 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray.
