Description
STALKING & SURFACE RODS
Delicate Control. Confident Power.
Built from the very same very low-resin 40T Japanese carbon used on the rest of the Hi-‘S’ rods and with full 1k weave and Perdurable blank finish these rods are extremely light and well balanced, yet strong and with very responsive tips to aid casting with light set-ups.
All Hi-‘S’ surface and stalking rods are built with the Clone 1k seat and stainless steel collars as standard, but—as with all Hi-‘S’ rods—these can be made to your individual requirement.
The Surface Creeper range is designed for delicate surface presentation with proper control. The 11’ has an effective test curve of 2¼lb, making it very suitable for free-lining. We have also sold this rod as a light river rod for those roving anglers. The 12’ is 2½lb, while the LR versions are 2¾lb—strong enough to cast larger controllers but still forgiving when fighting large carp on light lines or hooklinks synonymous with floater fishing for wary carp. The 12’ and LR versions can be built with either 30mm or 40mm butt guides; the 40mm option has distance ring spacing.
