versatile than that! It can handle commercial carp into double figures, big tench and bream from stillwaters,
also hard fighting river species like chub and barbel. High modulus carbon floats rods of this quality are
usually expensive, but Greys have achieved a very competitive price - without compromising on quality in any way!

The 1lb test curve 11ft specimen rod.
When the discerning angler wants a slightly shorter light specimen rod, Greys discovered the majority

much more forgiving action.

anti-lock fish playing action, this 1.75lb test curve 12 footer is a must buy for the angler targeting big fish,
particularly on smaller venues where higher test curve carp rods prove too over-gunned. It might feel
lightweight in the hand, but this crisp action Prodigy TX Specimen rod can launch feeders and leads out
a long way. Don't ignore this design for big barbel and chub either, especially in rain swollen,
or fast flowing rivers.

We cried when they discontinued the MK3 but we need not have worried, as this new rod
is better than any of the previous versions. Now extended to 13' and combined with a slightly
more flexible top it now offers more line control but with the same strength necessary for hard
fighting tench or carp. Suitable for lines up to 10lb.
