GLADIUS® Canal Classic rod
An 8'3" length rod, with a light/medium action. The rod has enough strength to fight even the biggest fish, while the tip has the sensitivity and flex to keep you in touch with your lure, so you feel even the smallest bites.
PURPOSE BUILT.
Specifically designed with the sensitivity required for egg rolling but also enough stiffness to set a softbait or spinning lure in any situation.
Our GLADIUS® Canal Classic rod is designed and developed in Japan, and incorporates only the best components. This includes a high performance 40 tonne graphite blank, FUJI® reel seat and ultra light ALPS® guides. We recommend fishing with a line weight of 4-12lb and a lure weight of 4-18g.
What you need to know
REPLACEMENT TIPS AVAILABLE
When you're fighting big fish, the tip of your rod can come under a lot of load. So replacement rod tips are available to keep your Canal Classic in tip top condition and delivering the level of sensitivity you need.
FISHING THE TEKAPO CANALS
One of the most common misconceptions when fishing the canal system is “the fish are 20-30lb, so I need to use a rod and line to match the weight of the fish”. These fish are smart so it’s important to present your bait to the fish as naturally as possible, using a light rod and line.
