The Valley Hunter II rebuilds the series on an ultra-high-density carbon fiber blended weave that achieves high strength and high elasticity together, giving the blank strong tensile and impact resistance for sudden bursts of power while staying lively. Hearty Rise sums the goal as three highs: sensitivity, strength, and elasticity. Guides are Fuji SiC, the blank wears an OPP coating that is ultra-light, water-repellent, and scratch-resistant, and the casting models carry a redesigned gun grip with an internal spring-clip reinforced clamp for a tighter reel lock, a smaller trigger, and a skeletonized, ergonomic shape that improves balance and blank contact.
Eight spinning and casting models run UL through XXH, 2-8 g finesse up to heavy cover powers, on 99 percent carbon blanks; the VH2S-724/855M converts between 2.2 m and 2.57 m by adding or removing a section. The maker rates the series for streams, bass, Thai and giant snakehead, and saltwater use.
