Description:

Three piece (short handle and two 5' sections) ultra-light match rod for delicate presentation. Particularly at home on canals, for bloodworm, and tough winter league fishing.
Available as a rod or blank.

Introduction:

The original match special sold so well, that in the North it was on almost every peg in Canal matches. Even with modern advances in technology there is little we can do to refine the action of the blank, but we have upgraded the build to include an abbreviated handle with a Fuji Screw reel fitting. Rings are Hopkins RDX. The price remains astonishingly good value for this craftsman made British rod using the best components.

Action:Ultra-light, ultra-sensitive compound blank with a spliced tip.
Length: 11'6"
Rod Weight: 124g 4 1/4 oz
Materials:
Blend of high strength and high modulus aerospace fibres and solid carbon tip.

Summary:

If its still-water, conditions are hard and not right for the pole; this is the rod. Will cast the lightest floats with ease, and has the cushioning ability to play out bonus fish on the lightest of hook lengths. No other Canal rod comes close.
