Why It Stands Out
The Carbon X II chases one goal, shedding weight, and it nails it. A full carbon-fiber frame, rotor, and side plate drop the 2000 size to about 7.2 oz, so it disappears on a finesse rod and fights fatigue on long days. The fast 6.2:1 gear and 22 lb drag mean you don't sacrifice performance for that lightness. For finesse bass, panfish, and trout, it punches far above its price.

Frequently Asked Questions
