At 10ft (3.05m) this is the shortest of the series 7 waggle rods, perfect for fishing at close range on commercial carp fisheries for F1s, other small carp and silvers.
Crucian/carp hybrids, commonly called F1s have been stocked at commercial fisheries all over the UK, as they dont grow too big( commonly to about 4lb) and will feed all year round.
They are usually targeted at waggler distance or at close range, or even where the marginal shelf meets the bottom.
Although not renowned as particularly hard fighters, they have a habit of ipping away when hooked, and this combined with a soft mouth, means a rod which is too stiff will lead to infuriation hook pulls and costly damage to your match weights.
This handy short rod is purpose built for the job, with a surprising amount of power yet a soft, forgiving play action in order to minimize these hook pulls. It is fitted with SiC guides and is ideally matched to mainlines between 3lb and 6lb, and hook lenghts of 2lb 8oz to 5lb.
It can be used to fish all waggler floats including loaded pellet wagglers up to 5g.
The rod is supplied in a smart tailored, printed rod sleeve allowing the rod to be transported made up. |
