Harrison Aviator Plus
This is Harrisons newest range of rods and includes middle distance and long range models. Tapers are new, for finer tips and the 1k weave extends to the tip eye. The 13' Harrison Aviator TE is their most powerful caster, designed for the biggest European lakes.
In 12' there are two Aviators which fall in either side of the 12' 3 1/4lb Torrix for power. The Harrison Aviator Flex has a slim and more forgiving butt for soaking up the lunges. Harrison give it a 3lb 2oz test curve. The Harrison Aviator Plus is 3lb 6oz, and can punch a bait a little further than the Harrison Torrix 3 1/4, but manages to do that without needing extra effort from the angler. This rod was designed to be easy to cast by normal anglers on the bankside.
The 13' Harrison Aviator Plus occupies a sweet spot between distance and action and It is turning into one of our hottest sellers. Again, this gives extra distance to the average angler, and loads up gently without punishing less than perfect timing. The more skilled will see even bigger distances. We designed it to slot into the gap in our range between Torrix and Trebuchet Light. An Aviator 13' spod is now available.
The latest additions are 12'6 Aviator Plus and 13' "TE" models. The philosophy of the 12'6, rated at 3 1/2lb, is to offer an upgrade path from the popular Torrix 12'6 TE. Just a little more power for a little more distance, but with new tapers, sacrificing nothing in playing ability, and with 1k weave to the tip.
The 13' Harrison Aviator TE is quite different, a beast of a rod for extreme distance. Harrison's most powerful and rugged carp rod yet.
Aviator blanks are finished with a 1k plain weave on both the butt and tip section.
Legacy Build ; These rods are all full shrink handles, stanless butt cap and collars and silver hooded reel seats
A Few words from Terry Edmonds
After using the aviator plus for a few months now, I feel the optimum lead is 3.5 ounce but will also handle 4 ounce leads easily. Distances on 0.30mm mono and leader have been consistently 190 yards + with some further. But realistically fishing up to around 150 yards with Rig and Bait. For me the rod itself is a lot more user friendly than the trebuchet, or trebuchet lights as its a genuine all rounder. The Butt is a bit more powerful than a standard 3.25 torrix so enables good casting potential and the backbone to move fish out of weed when required. The lightness and slimness of the blank compared to a torrix, also adds to the speed of recovery, which when casting reduces snap offs, it also feels great in the hands. Taking the genuine 1k weave throughout the blank, means cosmetically it looks stunning. Where I have found this rod comes into its own is level line casting. By that I mean fishing at reasonable casting distances without a leader. As the tip and mid section blend so well into a powerful, but not over stiff butt. The rod can absorb the shock of a cast well, without being to harsh on the mono so reducing snap offs. Stiffer rods take the stretch out the mono to quick and cause crack offs. To prove this I have cast 0.32mm mono straight through and a 3.5 ounce lead over 165 yards regularly. To sum up its a very thin, light, balanced blank, that can be used for most situations in carp angling. Enjoy.Terry Edmonds
