Why we talk about evolution, first of all because the blank itself has improved in terms of performance, sensitivity and quickness to stress. The material is 30T carbon effectively supplanting the old 24T. The ringing has seen a reduction in weights and surfaces by switching to an extra-smooth stone with a super-low profile so as to reduce friction when casting for greater distances and especially to decrease friction points while the line is taut in combat, thus reducing overheating of the line itself and loss of hold. The stone is mounted on rings with gunmetal coloring, which is more sober and lighter in design as well. An important part of the work was to lighten the handle, which still remains split but changes shape to aid handling and contact with the blank itself, improving bait-laying performance, bait animation and sensitivity. Another stylistic innovation is the rod sock, when used in conjunction with the supplied clamps it allows the rod to be carried even mounted with reel and line in the loops without jamming and tangling the pieces; we adopted this solution according to our experience, tired of filling the drawers with useless sheaths that had no real function in transporting home/fishing spots. X1 PRO will be recognizable in the racks of Italian stores by the silver band and green silver logo that outline a new, instantly recognizable profile.
