These materials allow for unprecedented lifting strength, exact tracking, crisp recovery, and lightweight performance – perfect for any saltwater or big-game application anywhere in the world.

COMPONENTRY

The AIR 2 Max utilizes unique Cerecoil hard-titanium stripping guides. They are extremely flexible when stuffed into boat gunnels or tight spots. and use a ceramic insert that is incredibly slick, generating extremely high line speeds. This means achieving more distance with less effort, fewer backcasts, incredible line shooting, and unmatched durability.

To compliment the stripping guides, AIR 2 Max rods use Recoil hard-titanium saltwater snake guides, that are saltwater safe, stronger, lighter, and extremely flexible. These snake guides shoot line effortlessly, for fast shots with big flies.

The AIR 2 Max features a new universal flor-grade grip with low swells and short flares to provide anglers of various hand shapes and grip styles a variety of grip options. This aids in overall feel, line control and comfort when fighting the world’s largest fish.
