Blank and action

The rods are designed to deliver a fast and responsive action, allowing anglers to maintain constant contact with the lure. This is especially important when fishing with light jig heads, where detecting subtle bites and feeling the lure on the bottom makes a huge difference. The blank offers a balanced combination of sensitivity and power, making hook sets quick and effective.

Designed for light jig and finesse spinning

Practical use on the water

As the name suggests, the series targets perch fishing, but its versatility allows it to perform well when targeting trout and other smaller predators. The available 2.15 m model with a casting weight of 3–15 g is a highly practical setup for both bank and boat fishing. It provides enough range while maintaining excellent lure feel and control.
