Abu Garcia actually put a lot of attention on achieving a special oscillation to minimize spool movement, and the end result is better line management and a cleaner feel when retrieving briskly

Each rod is constructed with a lightweight 24-ton graphite blank and durable stainless steel one-piece guides, delivering a sensitive, and responsive feel ideal for a wide range of techniques

And Id say his signature series of rods from Abu Garcia exude those same characteristics
