Temple Reef's flagship SPJ rod has just undergone a significant structural and ergonomic redesign to give the user better strength, stability, comfort, balance, and sensitivity. The entire handle of the Levitate is now a monobloc design. We adopted an inverted triangular geometry design and called it The Nabla. The Nabla is inherently more robust than the circular shape, so it needs less material to achieve flexural rigidity, resulting in a stiffer and lighter blank. A proprietary flat top design along the plane of the rear handle section allows for more excellent stability and support for the forearm to rest on the rod during slow pitch jigging. Better stability and control equates to enhanced performance. The rear end of the rod is now nearly 30% slimmer than its predecessor. This part of the rod, which is tucked under the arm when fighting a fish or reeling in a jig, can be very uncomfortable or even cause bruising when used for an extended duration. In addition, the new slim grip design is only 26mm at its widest, ensuring comfort in the heat of battle.

The Levitate Nabla features Temple Reef™s Direct Sensory System (DSS). It is a groundbreaking and painstaking method of rod construction that amplifies blank sensitivity to enhance feel. Our hands are attuned to vibrations transmitted via the line, to the blank and ultimately the reel seat. With advances in low-stretch braided line and highly sensitive carbon fiber blanks, we have already come a long way. However, the weakest link in this chain has traditionally been at the reel seat where outdated construction techniques cause vibration loss and therefore information loss right where we hold the rod.
