Float Rod Help

[Paulos]

Hi, does anyone know of a 12ft float rod that comes in 2 pieces, with a full cork handle. Preferably needs to be able to handle light hooklengths. I've been searching on the net but can't find anything similar. Thanks.

Depends how much you want to spend, but I'd recommend this one - I've landed "accidental" carp to 7lb on it, and it's a great rod for light float fishing for most species. Balances perfectly with a 2500 size reel.

Thanks Davy, looks closer than anything i've found so far. Wish it had a full cork handle though.......

Prepared to spend up to £130 to get all of my specs.

It's full cork apart from about 3" of Duplon at the top, which forms the screw-down reel seat (the photo on the link doesn't do it justice).

On the basis of your budget I'd go for the Korum Neoteric....I have used one of these for a few months and for light float work is a brilliant piece of kit. I'm always a little reluctant to recommend kit but this is a lovely rod.

By the way don't forget your local tackle shop! The link I gave was for the description.

 

Cheers.

That looks more like it!!! I'll pop into my tackle shop later on today to see if they have one, or can order it in for me.

Thanks guys.
