Marksman 13' Specimen Float Rod

With the name Specimen on this 13-foot model you'd think it had been designed to handle bigger fish - and you'd be right. To many ‘power' float rods have stiff, top-heavy actions, but not the Specimen Float.

This rod is beautifully balanced, lightweight and altogether more subtle than other big fish rods. It retains the streamlined profile of its Specialist cousins, but exudes extra power from that slim, ultra high modulus blank. In fact it feels almost as light as a standard rod built for smaller fish, until you hook a monster and feel the power and control. This really is a big fish float rod that's a joy to use for long periods on both rivers and stillwaters.With immense casting potential and cleverly integrated extra strength in the middle and
butt sections, as well as the Hardy Anti-Lock progressive fish playing action, this is a rod for anglers who want to stay in control at all times.

Testimonials

"This rod is nothing short of superb. Playing Carp up to 14lbs is a delight with the soft tip and progressive mid and butt section making this my number one waggler of all time!

"A beautifully made super light rod that is at the top of its game. Looking forward to pairing it with the Conquest Centrepin."
