This strong backbone of the rod is paired with a tip section which has the right softness for a lovely fish playing action. The tip section is softer and creates a truly beautiful curve all the way through when a fish is hooked.

The casting power of the rod is great, achieving distances up to 70m with the 12ft and up to 100m with the 13ft rod length. Both lengths make this rod very well usable on both commercial lake fishing for carp and on big natural lakes or canals for bream.
