Description
Free Spirit S Lite 12ft 3.25lb 50mm
Periodically new materials become available and Free Spirit are always keen to test these to understand their properties and potential benefits. Their philosophy is to thoroughly push these but they have to offer something special that will stand the test of time. A new material enabled them to build a very strong slim blank, yet with very efficient recovery, reminiscent of the Hi-S range.
Just because they arent Hi-S prices don't be fooled that these aren't capable of extreme ranges as in testing they were casting huge distances, testament to the loading response and fast recovery this material lends to the blanks. The slimness of the blank helps with this but the carbon has to be high quality not to feel tip heavy.
As with all Free Spirit rods the finish has to be cosmetically attractive and different and the weave is quite stunning and as usual features the 'Perdurable' finish. To compliment the 40t low resin ultra slim blank is a new Fuji reel seat - VSS17, which features open sides and a carbon sleeve of the same material as the blank is fitted to help transmission through the seat to the hand. Guides feature black frames since the blank has a dark finish and all fittings are stainless steel for durability.
On the Full Cork versions they feature a matching Clone reel seat with an isotope slot.
A word about casting versions of the S Lite range - they have used the 'ive name for both the 12' and 13' rods which they don't do lightly! This was since the performance and feel was so close to that of the Hi-S'ives, which have become top sellers and offers great casting but with exceptional fish playing - S Lite'ives offer very similar performance at a significantly reduced price.
Ok so this one is great for most angling situations, it will put a 3,5oz lead around 130yds comfortably, more in the right hands, but is a great smaller water rod too, if you need to fish at 30-70 yds its equally as at home as it is a 100yds+. If you are after one set of rods to cover 95% of your fishing then these are the ones.
