A rod built to accommodate both fixed spool and multiplier reels. The action is designed to be used with lighter lines down to 10lbs and strong 60lb shock leaders, to maximising casting range when conditions such as calm, clear water in daylight limit the amount of fish close to shore. The increased length of the blank also allows anglers with average casting ability to reach greater distances for the same amount of physical effort than would be possible with shorter conventional beach casters.
