A full shrink-wrapped handle is my go-to choice on any rod so I was more than happy when the GT4 spec featured these. The handle feels comfortable and secure in your hand and the flared butt is always I nice touch, especially on those distance casts.
The handle is finished off with a nice-looking laser-etched, anodized butt cap.
The reel seat is a Fuji DPS style in all black which compliments the rod’s aesthetics in the way that it just blends in with the blank. I faced no issues with the reel seat during the review and held my big pit reels solidly in place throughout the whole session.
Greys claim that the G-lite SiC guides on this rod are twelve times harder and one-third lighter than stainless steel guides.
I had no way of proving otherwise but what I can say is that the 50mm butt ring is a really nice addition to the latest range as this really does help get this few extra yards on the cast.
The blanks core is 3k woven carbon armour which is lightweight and does feel well-balanced in the hand when playing fish.
The 3.5lb test curves, as you would expect, are slightly stiffer but this does offer, much appreciated additional power when trying to hit a spot at 130 yards+.
The blank is finished with a low-glare finish which is handy if fishing close in.
