Main intention of making this rod is for beginners and rough users. It means durability is the key virtue here. A competent surf rod which can easily be used on piers, Jetty's harbours or rocks. It has a stepped up more modern action which gives you good casting performance coupled with decent bite detection. The rod is ideal for clean to mixed ground fishing and is more than capable of dealing with  Mackerel, Bass, rays, hounds, cod and other medium to large shore species.
