Features & Angler Benefits

• Medium-Heavy Power (MH): Rated for lures Up to 60g, this rod delivers substantial power, making it perfect for launching medium-to-heavy lures over long distances. It provides the necessary backbone to fight large, hard-running fish like Atlantic salmon, steelhead, and large sea trout.

• Progressive Fighting Action: The responsive yet strong 24/30 tonne High Performance Carbon blank delivers a progressive action. This action ensures long, accurate casts and solid hook-sets, while the smooth power curve helps to absorb sudden surges and maintain steady pressure during tough river battles.

• Extended Length (12): The long 12-foot (approx. 3.66m) length is crucial for achieving maximum casting distance and superior line control. This length allows the angler to mend line effectively and keep line off the water, which is vital when fishing strong currents or large coastal breaks.

• Sensitive Tip: The action maintains the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes, a common requirement when fishing for wary salmon species.

• Premium Components: Designed with a comfortable VSS reel seat for locking down the spinning reel.7 It is outfitted with durable Seaguide SXQHRAG premium guides ideal for thick braided lines and minimizing friction.8 The handle features Premium AAA grade cork for a secure, comfortable grip.
