The new handle is the most obvious feature of this range, it's big and chunky and totally different to any other rod handle I've ever seen. The reel seat is realigned to allow you to comfortablt reach the rim of the reel spool with your finger, it also means that the reel is pointing directly at the butt ring.
The rings fitted to all of these new rods are on average 50% lighter than conventional rings and they have highly polished stainless steel centres, so they won't chip or crack.
Once you actually try one of these new rods you will appreciate that the biggest improvement over previous rods is the amount of 'feel' that you get from a hooked fish. If you've ever used braid as a reel line you'll know the feeling, you can feel every head shake, every movement of a hooked fish.
There are various models in the range, in fact there are 4 distinct price ranges from the top of the range Suveran models at around £200 down to the pair of Segra rods weighing in at under £100. All of the rods have all of the new features incorporated, the only difference between them is the actual carbon blank used to build the rods. The more expensive rods are lighter, slimmer and have greater "feel" and "transmission". Each and every one is an absolutely superb rod that will give years of enjoyment and each one will be a pleasure to own.
Other models not listed are on order and should be here in the next couple of weeks
