Free Spirit Hi S Black Carp Rods 13ft Ive TDG 50mm with ALPS ARD Reel Seat
Now we are pushing into Free Spirits long range offerings, at this point we aren’t at out and out distance rods but rods that are still capable of big range.
Now we are being honest here, in our eyes the 12’ Hi-S Ive has really been superseded by Ive ER, the ER will cast as far but is a much nicer rod to use and also much easier to use, the 12’ Ive is a rod that not everyone can get the best from, you need incredibly quick hand and body speed to make it work.
The 13’, now that’s a different story, this must rate as one of the easiest long range rods to cast, it is forgiving through the top 25% of the rod so means you can be slightly less critical with your release point, its like a golfer having a bigger “sweet spot”, if you don’t hit it exactly right the rod makes up for your mistake.
The 13’ Ive doesn’t require quite as fast hands so it means normal casters rather than tournament casters can still cast huge distances, we have guys coming in the shop that are fishing at 170-180 yds with these rods, on a measure field these have covered over 200yds!! Due to the forgiving nature in the tip it means you wont be pulling hooks close in, we have also had a lot of people say they love these rods for Zig fishing, the extra length making casting easy and with lighter hooklinks at long range they are not losing fish due to the softer tip.
