The Pflueger® Patriarch® PARSP30X Spinning Reel gives you a lightweight fishing rod that is easy to handle and durable. This is accomplished through the use of components like the magnesium body, rotor and sideplate. Appropriate parts are protected with a 3 step coating that provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability.  A solid titanium main shaft is stronger and lighter than comparable stainless steel shafts. The carbon handle with EVA knob also reduces weight when compared to aluminum handle reels.
