A rod intended for fishing on small and medium rivers, canals. A lightweight rod with a fast action that can work with light hooklengths without the use of feeder gum. A highly balanced blank capable of delivering VERY ACCURATE casts with 50-60-70 grams feeders + feed to large distances. Overload and work with heavier feeders are also possible, provided that the casting force and distance are reduced. That is, the rod can work normally with feeders of 80-90 grams + feed at close distances of 25-40 meters. This rod can also be very successfully used with light flat feeders.
For the balance of the tackle and comfortable work, on this rod I have made a handle of sufficient length – 465 mm, with a rear grip diameter of 26 mm. Medium-sized reels such as Daiwa 4000 by English numeration (old sizing), or a Daiwa 6000 LT concept would be ideal for this rod. The rod is equipped with a reliable 16-size Fuji TVS screw down reel seat that securely locks the reel foot.
The butt ring is 25 mm in size for good braid and line flow and to prevent rod wobbling when winding in the braid. The rod is equipped with shorter 610 mm quivertips with 4.5 mm guides – such decrease is deliberately made to reduce fluctuation of the soft thin quivertip after casting (reduced parasitic oscillations lower the risk of breakage of the quivertip).
