Advanta Specimen Rod

Advanta Specimen Rod

The Advanta Specimen Rod has been specifically designed for targeting big fish from both stillwaters and rivers. Part of the new Advanta Barbel & Specimen Rod range, these fishing rods are not just tools for barbel fishing, but can also be used for targeting other specimen fish from both still and moving waters such as Tench, Carp, Bream and Chub.

These fishing rods have been built around a super strong, lightweight, high modulus carbon rod blank, with plenty of power in the butt section of the rod to allow the angler to tame even the most powerful of specimen fish such as Barbel & Carp, whereas the tip section is soft enough to prevent hook pulls and allow great bite indication. For increased strength and durability these fishing rods feature double leg minima style guides. These guides allow you to use either mono fishing line or braided line, ensuring it flows through the rod rings with ease, helping to both increase distance and accuracy. Advanta have incorporated a screwlock reel seat on these fishing rods with 3k carbon barrel so that you can use a wide range of fishing reels from small fixed spool reels to large freespool reels. This Advanta Specimen Rod comes in a 12ft length with 1 2lb test curve, which makes it perfect for tackling even big rivers for barbel, or fishing method feeders and maggot feeders at distance for carp, tench and bream on lakes. Advanta have supplied both of these fishing rods in their own cloth rod bag which makes transport and storage of these fishing rods quick and easy. Finished with a full cork handle to give the specimen angler the optimum grip when casting and playing fish, whilst giving the fishing rod a stylish look. The Advanta River Ambush Rod is a great addition to any anglers specialist fishing tackle.
