Overview
Scrutinizing every detail in the design process with the input of touring professionals, the Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods deliver the most sensitive, balanced, and powerful actions perfectly suited for today’s most popular finesse tactics. Built upon a Japanese Toray 40-ton high-modulus carbon fiber blank, the Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods are constructed using Ark’s proprietary carbon fiber rolling technology that places a carbon nano tube between the carbon fiber layers for an exceptionally light, strong, and more sensitive rod.
Equipped with Fuji K-Frame tangle-free guides with Fazelite inserts, Ark Essence Series Casting Rods automatically break down tangles in heavy crosswinds to provide incredibly smooth and long casts. Furnished with AAA-grade full cork handles and a custom ark reel seat, Ark Essence Series Spinning Rods transfer even the most subtle bites and bottom vibrations directly into the blank for unbeatable feel and sensitivity.

Previous Feedback
Comments: This rod is okay, but it's not good. I have the 7'6 med light for ned rigs/ finesse rigs and the sensitivity is all but lacking not to mention the poor wrapping on the guides and as most ark rods it seems they have a problem with the reel seats being on straight, all 3 Ark rods I own have this issue. It seems this company really is passionate about what they're trying to do but for the price tag the quality could be so much better.
