Hardy marksman speciman 13ft float

Hardy speciman 13ft float.

The Specialist Float 13ft is featherweight in the hand and has a lovely crisp feel whilst casting, yet retains tremendous striking power. The overall action is super smooth, with our unique Anti-Lock helping you to land more fish.

The Specialist Float 13ft is great for the finesse required for smaller silver fish using fine hooklengths and small hooks, but there's also an underlying power lurking within its pleasing profile which will easily tame bigger fish.

This rod has the all-round ability to land big fish on light line too. During field testing in competition Dave Coster landed three double figure carp - using a 0.12mm (3lb) trace and a medium wire size 18 hook.

Hardy Anti-lock is built in to all Marksman rods. Essentially, when the rod is under load, in a fish-playing situation, it continues to transfer the power, and lunges of the fish, into the rod curve rather than bottoming out too quickly. This greatly reduces the chances of hook pulls, and makes fish playing a truly rewarding experience. By using a special blend of carbons and optimum resin ratios, Hardy have fine tuned the Marksman range to offer ultra high  performance rods that retain that all important fish-playing feel.
