It is still capable of putting a baited rig well over 100 yards if the need arises, but being the softest in the range, it allows the most accurate casting at shorter ranges. It still has plenty of power through the butt and middle part of the rod when it comes to controlling very big fish at close range, or hit-and-hold snag fishing, and its slightly more forgiving action means that you can really pile the pressure on when you need to without fear of pulling the hook. Recommended casting weight: 1-3oz.
Korda Koach Rob Burgess: “It’s extremely light and responsive, and a joy when playing fish, especially under the rod tip.”
Korda Europe’s Kevin Diederen: “Most of the fishing that I do in Benelux is short to medium range, so there isn’t a need for me to use absolute casting ‘weapons’ and I prefer a slightly softer rod with a nice playing action. I’ve been using the 3lb model for some time now and it is really crisp, light and fast, and whilst I’m not fishing at range, I’m sure if I needed to I could put a baited rig over 100 metres.”
