Description : I have used this rod for 2 years now targeting those famous hook shedders specimen roach. The rod has thrown 2oz feeders 60 yards on gravel pits and gently lobbed one to the other side of a small pond with aplomb. The avon tops allow you to cast accurately, but more importantly absorb the lunges of a big roach. Fish have been caught to well over 3lb on 2lb hooklinks and I always felt in control. The rod has also handled bonus tench to 7lb and I would have no hesitation in fishing with 6lb line straight through. The rod would also be ideal for specimen rudd, perch and crucian fishing as well as chub and tench in open water. The slim blank and comfy reel seat ensure this rod looks and feels a quality piece of kit.
Conclusion : A quality, versatile all round tool for the smaller specimens
