2011 BERKLEY RODS
• High Modulus IM8 graphite - provides the ultimate in lightweight and sensitivity. • Titanium coated SS304 guides - perfect for braided line applications. • Designed - for specific salmon and steelhead techniques.
I’m excited to have worked with the Berkley® Rod Engineers to make our popular Air® Salmon and Steelhead. The Air® IM8 Salmon and Steelhead rods are stronger, lighter and more sensitive thanks to IM8 high-modulus graphite, Titanium SS304 guides and durable Berkley® Cushy Q butt caps. Berkley®’s line up will include all previous rod actions plus three models, to meet the needs of both angler and professional guide. Anglers that bobber or side-drift for steelhead will want to check out the A-94-9’ Medium (M), A-94-9’9” and 10’9” Medium-Light (ML) rod actions. buzz ramsey designed air salmon and steelhead rods

• Pac Bay DPL TiBLUE™ Guides – (AERO series frame) TiBLUE™ guides from Pac Bay, provide the ultimate in sensitivity and durability. The PVD coating on the rings create a super hard, low friction surface that actually becomes a part of the ring material making it a perfect choice for today’s braided lines.

• 1K Power Helix - 1K is a carbon fiber material used to produce extra strength in the backbone, necessary for the powerful hooksets and stress loads a no-stretch line produces while keeping the rods weight to a minimum for the highest sensitivity.

• Suspending Reel Seat - Designed for Maximum Energy Transmission. This reel seat is off-set allowing the reel foot to be raised from the blank, preventing any unnecessary contact and increasing overall feel and action. • Strike Amplifying Tip - Designed to give you the benefit of increased hook-ups, the S.A.T. is a recent development by the Berkley Engineering Team, built to handle SuperLines. Your success rate is amplified by the ‘braid’- action, giving you the extra time needed for the fish to hang on and you to react.

• Armadillo Hide™ Finish - The Armadillo Hide™ finish is a process improvement to eliminate cut fibers from the blank. This ensures a blank free from imperfections, and gives you the benefit of durability and strength. • X-Posed™ Reel Seat – A reel seat engineered for the maximum amount of energy transfer. Total exposure on both spinning and casting models, allowing your hand to remain in contact with the blank at all times. No added weight, nothing to dampen the blank, it takes sensitivity to a whole new level. • Split grips - For reduced weight and improved balance.
