The MKS tapers are universally respected fishing tools within the two handed community, and have generated a strong following of dedicated angler’s world wide over the past 4 years.
The MKS rods are favored by those anglers that prefer an authoritive two handed rod with a deep loading progressive action, and crisp speed of recovery. With the MKS taper; the ratios of power and distance-achieved in relation to caster expended energy have become legendary. These are incredibly efficient, hard working tools.
The increased percentage use of lighter high modulus materials in the top 2/3s of the MKS rods have improved their overall balance and lightness of weight-in-hand, yet they do still maintain the same friendly efficiency and "strong work ethic" that our anglers have always sought with this series of rods.
The MKS rods will allow easy management of extreme anchor release at both the dangle and the “D” of all classic short to mid-length belly full-sink Spey lines. They do also allow effortless sustained anchor release of Skagit shooting head line systems with extreme tips in tow.
Management of aerialized belly beyond-the-tip of all mid to long belly floating classic Spey lines is another forte of the MKS tapers, allowing maximum achieved distances with only a minimal amount of expended energy by the caster.
