Description
The W10 Finesse T&C rods take sensitivity to a new level, while the fast blank still delivers power when it matters. Built on a Torayca® T1100G+M46X+’Nanoalloy® 55Ton’ carbon blank, this rod is exceptionally sensitive and well balanced – ideal for casting soft lures, small cranks, and working Texas & Carolina rigs along the bottom for perch and other predators.

Fish with a taut line on the drop when Texas rigging – this blank transmits even the lightest ‘tap’ as the lure falls, which is often the only indication you’ll get of a take.
