Paired with a compact float fishreel, the rods tends to sit up in the hand at an angle above horizontal, makingthem a joy to fish with all day.

They have been designedprincipally for reel lines from 2lb 8oz to 4lb+, which is roughly 0.12mm to0.18mm diameter monofilament.

The blank feels very rigid andhas a light, crisp action with little or no bounce for really excellent lineand float control. At the same time, the tip action is soft enough to act as agentle shock absorber, cushioning the strike and preventing hook pulls. Thisallows ultra-light hooklengths below 1lb (0.08mm) to be fished with coinfidence.
