This has to be one of the most versatile all round float rods for targeting
specimen fish that is available today. Ideally suited for both still and
running waters, this rod has been specifically designed for targeting big
tench, bream, chub and barbel with a delicate presentation. Although its
action is very crisp it is amazingly forgiving ensuring that it is extremely
safe when handling large fish on light lines and small hooks.
For stillwater work large loaded wagglers can be punched out further than
ever against strong headwinds on reasonably light line. It is also ideal for
fishing down the edge with a top and bottom set up where maximum pressure
needs to be applied to stop runaway tench from getting to the snags.
The Specialist Float really comes into its own for long trotting as it has
an incredible line pick up at range but the tip still absorbs that initial
contact shock with a big fish. There will be times when you need to fish
against the far bank for chub where feeding the ‘bow’ is essential for
perfect presentation. The incredible line pick up guarantees that you will
miss very few bites.
The Specialist Float is a very light rod and can be comfortably held all day
whilst utilising both centrepin and fixed spool. It is simply a delightful
rod to use.
Features include the following:
Recommended reel lines 3 – 6 lb breaking strain.
Reel seats – Exclusive FOX-DS16 with soft touch woven finish.
