Seasoned tournament professional, Haruhiko Ishikawa, tested this model throughout the JB tournament ’06 season as part of the NORIES pro team. In midwater the soft glass tip section of the hybrid allows the angler total control over light rubber jigs and non-sinker wacky rigs. The sensitivity in the tip transfers the faintest bites through the rod even when applying erratic actions to lures. Its smooth taper makes putting cumbersome lures into tight areas simple. This is the rod advanced tournament anglers have been looking for     

Versatility is the key to this rod; the HV610LS is a great rod for feeling the most sensitive bites even in midwater situations. The sensitivity this rod delivers allows the angler natural hook ups even during erratic mid water retrieves. Due to the power of the HP40 graphite butt section, setting even the largest hook is made simple. Action that was impossible from a longer carbon rod is made possible with the new HYBRID VACUUM rod in an easy to use 61 length.

The HV610MLS is the most versatile rod in the HYBRID VACUUM range, able to be used with a wide range of rigs in a variety of structure. Whilst having enough back bone to recover during retrieves, its glass tip ensures smooth effortless hook-ups. This blanks special feature is the smooth join between the glass tipped section and the power of the ML butt section giving a more forgiving blank and more fish to the net.
