Start with the foundation of a Gary Loomis Next Gen IM T800 Modulus blank, add top quality Fuji and Kigan components, Kistler innovations and build it completely in the USA...you have the KLX. The KLX Series rods have to be experienced to be believed. Our mission with the KLX is to build the very best for our customers in the USA and offer it at value that allows anyone to say 'Fishing NEVER felt so good!'.
