Light weight classical match rods. The biggest selling so called "match" rod length of all time is the 12ft version pictured here with Alison & Bryn on a rare sunny afternoon in West Yorkshire.
These rods are suitable for the river and lake angler and will help you to land larger fish maybe up to 15lbs provided the reel clutch is set to slip at the appropriate tension. Many years ago Peter Bennett my late father in law landed a 10lb carp from a lake in the Torquay area using a 12ft Sealey blue match rod and only a 2lbs line --- a very patient gentleman.
