Paired with a compact float fish reel, the rods tends to sit up in the hand at an angle
above horizontal, making them a joy to fish with all day. They have been designed
principally for reel lines from 2lb 8oz to 4lb+, which is roughly 0.12mm to 0.18mm
diameter monofilament. The blank feels very rigid and has a light, crisp action with
little or no bounce for really excellent line and float control. At the same time, the tip
action is soft enough to act as a gentle shock absorber, cushioning the strike and
preventing hook pulls. This allows ultra-light hooklengths below 1lb (0.08mm) to
be fished with confidence.
