These rods feature high modulus blanks, Fuji reel seats, Sea Guide’s popular XO guides, Kevlar wrappings, and Portugal cork handles. The Kaden Series are all built on the spline and balanced. Why the new Kaden Series? This is a combination of Gary Dobyns playing with new materials and our customers asking for full handle casting rods and slightly faster actions. The Kaden Series was actually “fish tested” for several months by Dobyns customers. The feedback has been exceptional and Dobyns is happy to introduce a new series of rods.
