EXPANDED DESCRIPTION

The Fury Carbon XU Mooching Rod is designed for anglers who want a lighter, more responsive feel without sacrificing control. The carbon blank provides increased sensitivity, allowing you to detect subtle takes and maintain better awareness of your presentation.

The XU (extra-responsive) action offers a quicker tip for detecting bites while transitioning smoothly into a forgiving mid and butt section. This helps absorb head shakes and keeps tension consistent when fighting salmon.

Its lightweight construction makes it comfortable to fish all day, whether you’re working deeper water or adjusting your drift. Built for West Coast salmon fisheries, this rod balances sensitivity, control, and durability for mooching setups.
