Finished in a dark burgundy red finish with a part cork and Duplon handle, screw-down reel seat and neat keeper ring. This well-balanced blank has enough through action to aid good line and float control and help to tire out and land large, hard-fighting carp, yet the tip is still responsive enough to make fish playing smaller silverfish, plus tench and bream, a really enjoyable experience.

The short length is ideal for accurate, repetitive casting when fishing a pellet waggler. It will comfortably cast a wide range of floats up to 6g in weight and is better suited for fishing tighter swims where room for casting and playing fish is restricted.

The rod has a reel line rating of 3lb to 6lb fished straight through (0.16mm to 0.22mm) or with slightly lighter hooklengths of 2.5lb to 5lb (nominally 0.16mm to 0.20mm).
