The HI-POWER X construction suppresses rod torsion from the start of casting and improves directionality. The SPIRAL X construction is more effective against torsion as the rod is subjected to higher loads and bends more, and by suppressing rod torsion and vibration, the caster's power is fully utilized.

By making the new generation fast action even faster, the rod bending time is shortened, so the power of the caster can be transmitted to the rod without excess. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the SPIRAL X structure, which suppresses power loss, and the high rebound, increases casting distance. The rod is mildly tuned to bend slightly toward the body, smoothly transmitting power from the tip when a load is applied. Instead of casting with force, the rod flexes to enable casting farther with ease, and the rod flexes to create a split-second pause for better directional control.

A floating K-guide is used for swinging, and to further increase casting distance, a WFMSG (W Caspin) stainless steel frame SiC guide with a high foot is used for the butt guide. By making the former guide foot-high, the resistance to line discharge caused by contact with the guide and rod body is minimized, ensuring smooth line discharge. This effect is especially effective when using thicker line.
