Mark’s verdict

A genuine high-performance rod for the commercial fishery connoisseur, this top-end model will comfortably handle most weights of flatbed feeders and straight leads up to 40g (1.5oz). Its flexibility and superb parabolic action make it equally at home with a maggot or small cage feeder with light lines and small hooks for F1s, skimmers and silvers, and targeting bigger winter carp with bread.
