New model for 2025 built on a lighter action, slightly longer blank than the 'Intermediate' this is a more of a match anglers/ traditional style swing tip rod, for smaller fish and lighter lines.

A softer, more through action blank, more suited to lighter lines and hooklengths.

Weighing in at around 164 grams built on average, and around 12mm diameter at the top of the handle, this rod feels as slim and light as it looks. The blank is based on 25T carbon with a decorative 'X' wrap, all the way from the butt to the tip.

The finish is immaculate, this rods thread is a beautiful Mid - Green theme thread, with Metallic Green inlays and edging, with matching hardware. The thread locks on the single leg, Gunsmoke grey alconite guides, which are a slim, narrow match rod style guide for weight saving and retaining the feel of the blank. The butt ring is a 'Seaguide' branded 'Match' style guide in 12mm O.D.

The rings start at a generous 12mm O.D butt ring, and intermediates are graded from 8mm to 5mm down the blank to a 5mm O.D threaded swingtip top ring. The full cork handle is complimented by a 17mm TVS type reel seat, with matching carbon fiber inlay, for a comfortable, stylish finish, and will take virtually any reel you would want to pair with it. The top of the handle is finished with a Green aluminium trim ring, and the bottom is finished with a matching Gold aluminium butt cap.
Handle length is a comfortable, tapered, shortened length of 20 inches, around 22/23mm O.D.

The rod also features a hook keeper just above the top of the cork handle. The tip joins the butt via a spigot joint, the action would be described as 'semi-through action' with some reserve in the butt for those bigger fish. I have rated it as 1.5lb to 6lb main lines and 1lb to 2 lb bottoms as a guide to its abilities. It's a rod for those waters where you're spending the day after those big roach, rudd and skimmers, but won't let you down should something bigger show up.

The rod comes, as you would expect, with a 12 month guarantee. This rod will come in its own cloth bag.
