Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• Medium Rivers & Streams: Perfect for general river ledgering and spinning for chub, trout, perch, and pike using 3.5g to 18g lures.

• Stillwaters & Estate Lakes: Ideal for casting light ledger rigs, floats, or method feeders to target tench, bream, and carp.

• Canals & Docks: Excellent for mobile lure fishing along urban canals and waterways where extra reach helps navigate marginal weedbeds.

• All-Round Holiday Fishing: Robust 2-piece design packs down easily for transport in the car boot, ensuring you are always ready for an impromptu session.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When pairing a 7ft 3.5g-18g rod with the Size 35 reel, spool up with 8lb to 12lb monofilament or 10lb braid. This gives you an optimum balance for casting light spinners and spoons while retaining enough stopping power to turn bonus carp or pike away from snags.
