Finally, the HIEN finds a new raison d’être, powered by the next-generation blank process of 5-D. The unique patterning and layering process of 5-D enables variable action taper to unfold with impossible smoothness, eliminating the subtly harsh feel of taper transitions under load. Thus, the HIEN concept reemerges as the new F3-610X BAIT FINESSE, showcasing its delicate fast action tip for precision control and strong mid-section for confident power. Dialed-in to bait finesse cover approaches, long-distance shad plugging, and light cranking, the next-generation HIEN has arrived.
