The Propel Rods feature slim 1k carbon with high-end matt ground finish. All black guides complement the black-collared Fuji DPS reel seat, shrink-wrapped handle with a slightly flared butt, and unbranded all-black butt cap. Available in three distinct versions, the 12ft 3lb version is easily capable of casting in excess of 100 yards, and has a forgiving through-action that makes it an absolute pleasure to use. The 12ft and 13ft 3.5lb test versions are always going to be the most popular thanks to their ability to propel a baited rig a considerable distance with relative ease. The crisp action and fast recovery helps deliver maximum tip speed during the cast, and this is why they are so consistent and accurate for medium- to long-range fishing. Those of you blessed with good technique will be more than capable of unleashing their true potential.
