"Hi Tech" is what we are all about!!!

Most of us are aware of the carbon technology. It has been around for awhile. But maybe it has been a bit intimidating for some folks. With American Tackle's new G2 handle systems, we have taken some of that intimidation out of the equation making it more appealing to rod builders to take their builds into the "Hi Tech" arena. The link below is the newest product spotlight brought to you by American Tackle featuring our new G2 handles.

I had the 9" casting grip option delivered a few days ago. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I was concerned about the tactile feel. I let it and a cork grip cool down outside (42 degrees) and then handled them both. It wasn't inherent to me that one had a colder feel than the other. The cork grip texture felt a little more secure to maintaining a hold than the carbon, but not a lot. The fit, finish, and quality of the parts appear to be very good.

Very impressed with the demo. No doubt that one or many of these setups will be in my future.

Take care

Yes, it is the ULH hood with a matching carbon fiber fore grip option to match the handles. We also have new aluminum trim rings that go between the ULH hood and the carbon sleeves.

Thank you Roger, so far the sales have been simply unbelievable, as we’ve already sold out of several models! We have a ton of new inventory on it’s way but we are suggesting that everyone interested place their orders now in case what they are looking for is one of the models sold out, which also gets them in line for backorder fulfillment.

That's what I'm talking about! Where can I order the whole kit and caboodle?
