Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the recommended line strength for this rod?

The rod is best suited for line ratings between 2lb and 6lb.

Does this rod come with a carry case?

The product includes the rod sections and a folding hook keeper; we recommend purchasing a dedicated rod sleeve for secure storage.

Can I use this rod for ledgering?

While primarily designed for float fishing, it can handle light bomb work, though it is optimized for float-based presentations.

What is the closed length of the 14ft model?

The rod breaks down into three sections with a closed length of 147cm.

How do I maintain the cork handle?

Wipe with a damp cloth after use and occasionally use a specialized cork sealant to keep it smooth and prevent moisture absorption.

Troubleshooting

Rod sections are stuck and won't separate

Try holding the rod behind your knees and applying steady, even pressure to pull the sections apart, or use a soft rubber grip tool to gain better traction.

Guides appearing misaligned during casting

Check that each section is pushed fully home. A loose joint will cause the rod to rotate during the cast.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ultra-lightweight 190g construction reduces angler fatigue during long match sessions
High-quality V-Joint Alpha technology prevents flat spots in the rod curve
Versatile 1-12g casting weight perfect for various float fishing rigs
Premium materials ensure long-term durability in varied weather conditions

Cons

Longer 14ft length may be challenging for beginners to handle in tight bankside spaces
Three-piece design requires careful storage compared to shorter rods
Specific line rating of 2-6lb limits use for heavier specimen angling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your rod, ensure all sections are pushed together firmly, aligning the guides to maintain the integrity of the V-Joint alignment. This rod is best paired with a high-speed match reel to balance the 14ft length. When not in use, avoid forcing the joints; instead, use a gentle twisting motion to separate them. Always rinse the guides with fresh water after fishing in a venue with high salt content or heavy silt to prevent buildup. Store the rod in a padded rod holdall to protect the premium cork handle and ceramic guide inserts from accidental impacts.
