Thanks to its short length, it is very easy to handle. And due to its relatively high line class, it will easily transport all kinds of flies and indicator rigs – exactly what is needed to provide kids with a great experience along the river.
It has a lightweight carbon blank that features the modern UHC, LMS and LNR technologies. Therefore, it offers you a medium-fast action and great casting properties that are very suitable for beginners.
