It is hard to improve on a legend, but we did just that with our new 14' Black Widow. The 100% fiberglass blank allows for a light weight rod that cuts down on fatigue for all-day fishing while providing a good reach into those hard to get to areas. With this upgrade, the Black Widow still maintains the features you know and love with its low end price point, glossy black blank with enhanced graphics, fiberglass reinforced joints, metal eye tip, and line keeper.
