Designed, not just with longevity but legacy in mind, the O.G. features a double anodized finish, making it resistant to the corrosive effects of all marine environments. Whether casting in freshwater lakes or braving the salty inshore, anglers can trust the O.G. to withstand the elements and perform flawlessly.
