These rods are prefect hybrids between boat fishing rods and pike fishing rods. Bottom fishing for plaice and turbot, casting lighter jigs for halibut or casting shads or lures for pike... It all takes a sensitive yet fast action with a lot of backbone. Exactly this type of action is what our development team managed to get out of the finest Japa- nese ´TORAY ´ carbon. The unique shape of the extended front handle gives you exact control of every little movement or twitch of your lure.
