LENGTH: 12ft
TEST CURVE: 3lb 6oz
The GTD rod offers the essential crisp feel thanks to a lovely responsive blank.

Somehow the blank balances casting power with a precise feel that is just right! And yet, it still maintains a superb playing curve that is perfect for almost any angling scenario.
To put this into angling context, the responsive medium fast action ensures you can control casts accurately with a range of weights, without any vagueness that can impair that exacting feel that may affect accuracy. This is a true angler’s rod.
