Tamer Power Floats

The Tamer Power Float range was created for anglers who want serious Free Spirit float-rod performance at a more attainable price point. Designed for modern specimen float fishing, these rods cover stillwater work for tench, bream, roach, rudd and crucians, as well as river fishing for chub, barbel, grayling and other hard-fighting species where line control, balance and progressive power are essential.

Even at this more accessible level, the blanks are produced using a proven approach to strength-to-weight and stability. Japanese 40T and 30T carbons are used with resin content kept below 25%, while alternating 0° and 90° layers provide strength and hoop stability. The blanks are then reinforced with 3mm bi-axis carbon tape at 45°, helping reduce twist and keeping recovery clean when casting, mending line or steering fish away from trouble.

They are finished in our Perdurable blank finish, meaning no paint or lacquer is applied after precision grinding, so the quality of the carbon can be admired for years to come. The modern matt finish also helps prevent unwanted flash, which can be important when fishing clear water, shallow swims or wary fish at close range.

We favour actions produced with longer section lengths and fewer joints, so the 12’ and 13’ rods are built as two-piece models, while the 15’ is a three-piece. The benefit is immediate in the hand: lighter where it matters, cleaner through the curve and more progressive as pressure builds.

The Tamer Power Float 12’ is aimed primarily at stillwater fishing for tench, bream, roach, rudd and crucians. It carries a sensitive tip for bite registration and float control, but the power builds progressively through the middle and butt sections, helping prevent fish reaching snags, weed or cover — and giving you the authority to recover them if they do.

The Tamer Power Float 13’ is the natural all-rounder in the range. It covers the same stillwater duties as the 12’, but adds extra reach and line control for river work when targeting chub, barbel or grayling. With only a single central overfit joint, it remains light to hold and feels smoother than an equivalent three-piece rod would.

When maximum line control is required, the Tamer Power Float 15’ comes into its own. Whether trotting a stick float properly, working slider floats or reaching further with a waggler, the extra length gives greater control over line, float path and presentation. It is especially useful on bigger rivers such as the Wye, Trent and Severn, as well as larger continental rivers where stronger tackle and better control are often essential.

Each rod is finished with a full cork handle, Fuji DPS M16 reel seat and stainless steel butt cap and collars for dependable use across many seasons. A subtle green band above the logo keeps the cosmetics refined and unmistakably Tamer. Supplied in a pouch-style bag designed to accommodate the rod set up with the reel attached, they are ideal for mobile anglers and opportunistic sessions.
