The Technium AS trout area rods are specifically designed to maximise fishing performance with small hard baits and spoons. Ultra-light and slim, the premium action of the Technium AS is semi-parabolic to enhance casting and fish-playing when using light lines and barbless hooks.
The Technium AS has almost wand-like capabilities and will really come alive in your hand. Pair is with a small 1000 or 2000 sized Shimano spinning reel and you have a set-up that even the top Trout Area anglers would be pleased to use. You cannot fail to notice how well the Technium AS casts, even when using the very smallest spoons weighing under 1g. But it is when you hook into a trout that the rod really shows its true colours as it smoothly bends through its full length, absorbing aggressive runs and headshakes with an elastic-like action.
The Full Carbon blanks of the Technium AS are in keeping with the very latest Trout Area requirements. Lightweight, ultra slim and with an almost endless playing action, the addition of Shimano’s exclusive Diaflash technology gives all four models the perfect amount of backbone to cast ultra-light lures with accuracy and to spark life into spoons and micro hardbaits. To reinforce the quality design, the Technium AS uses Fuji KR-type guides with Fazlite linings, which work especially well with ultra-thin braided lines. The ergonomic Shimano IPS reel seat has been chosen for comfort and sensitivity and the cork split grip handle completes the modern, classic look. Available in four different models: two lengths and two casting weights, to best suit your exact requirements.
