Evolution II is a discontinued freshwater lure series that ran 11 two-piece models between 1.8 m and 2.5 m in both spinning and casting builds, with eight actions including the faster LG and LGX tapers. The blanks used Hearty Rise's NET-V II multi-angle carbon mesh construction with SNVC carbon, which the brand credited with a 15 percent gain in strength and toughness through the mid-section, finished in OPP coating with Fuji K anti-tangle guides and black EVA grips. Sample specs run 106 g to 136 g with lure ratings from 2-10 g up to 7-21 g. Superseded within the Evolution line; see Evolution III for the current version.
