Free Spirit Hi S Black Carp Rod 12ft Ive ER Ti Forged 50mm Full Shrink
The Ive Er is one of the newer rods in the range and needs a little introduction as we feel it is a very special blank.
These days we as anglers are fishing differently to the way we used to, we are fishing not only longer ranges but also methods that require different tools, PVA bag work requires a different action to straight lead work, weedy waters require a totally different action to open water rods, this is where the Ive ER comes in to its own!
This is what you would called a stepped up 3.5lb, the ER standing for Extra Responsive, its is what we tend to recommend to people that come in and say they want an everyday rod but where they fish predominantly from 70-150yds. This blank still has a very forgiving tip but is almost like a wolf in sheeps clothes, really lean into it and there is an abundance of power, its not a poker by any means, this is where Free Spirit have been very clever, it’s a quick but progressive loading, the more you lean into it the more it keeps giving. If you are casting PVA bags or need to “punch” a 4oz lead into a headwind then this is perfect, if you get a fish stuck in weed at 80yds you can get it moving again, if you need to stop a fish getting to snags then this is the one.
Range wise this rod will fish comfortably at closer range but distances over 180 yds are achieved by “normal” anglers, in the hands of tournament casters even further, the tip speed recovery on this rod is incredible.
We believe this is probably the most impressive carp rod we have ever seen, sold or used, it really does do everything you could ask.
