LRF Rods
There’s now a huge choice of LRF fishing rods and deciding which rod to buy is a very personal decision. Solid-tip or tubular? 8ft, 7ft, 6ft, or even the latest trend of butt-less, featherweight, 5-footers? Parabolic or extra fast action? Duplon or cork? Screw-up or screw-down? SiC or Torzite? The list goes on and on. The following posts about light lure rods may not help you with all these decisions, but hopefully they will give you some ideas.

A little while back I highlighted a very special LRF rod from Graphiteleader – the Graphiteleader Finezza Nuovo 76-842UL-T-AL – a rod that can transform from 7’6″ to 8’4″ without the need to tackle down and with the style and finesse you’d expect from a top Japanese rod manufacturer.
Anyway, Dean Pilgrim was blessed with being the first UK angler to wield the thing and get it bent into a fish or two. As promised, here’s his excellent review.
Fox Rage & Dietmar Isaiasch
Really enjoyed listening to Dietmar Isaiasch on the Fox stand demonstrating the Fox Rage range of lure tackle. Dietmar is clearly a lure fishing veteran with many years experience fishing and designing lures. The stand featured a metal lure tank which was remarkable at highlighting the vibration and sound of different lures – much better than a plastic tank. Although I got the feeling that Dietmar predominantly fishes for freshwater predators he showed knowledge of fishing for ‘sea bass’ in Europe. I learned a couple of nice tips.More
Tronix LRF Rods
Star of the show for me was the Tronix Pro LRF rod. Although not a brand new item, it was the first time I have got to waggle and flex the little 0.5-7g rated, TronixPro HTO Rockfish UL. There’s one rating that sets this rod apart from the masses of LRF rods now available – the price!More
