Guru AVENTUS Float Rod 15'

This rod is designed with all kinds of float fishing in mind, when a longer rod is required for ultimate control. The build of the rod is unique and modern, enabling it to be used for a real range of fish species and sizes from small roach and dace on a river, right up to big chub and barbel! This all-round ability comes from to the rod’s action. The main body of the rod has plenty of backbone, which is needed for fast pick-up of line when float fishing, especially when trotting or running a float a long way down a river. It enables a quick and firm connection with the fish. The actual tip of the rod is then fairly soft, which is important for cushioning small fish, ensuring you can fish light lines and small hooks without loosing them. The balance and modern abilities of this rod really come into play however, when a big fish is hooked. The middle sections still have a progressive action to absorb lunges and pressure when needed. A lot of this is down to the fact that the joints on this rod are overlay joints rather than spigot joints, maintaining the balance of rigidity and a progressive action. 

Tech-spec wise, it’s packed with the latest technology and assets. It features Zero-90 Carbon Technology, which ensures a super crisp action, and helps you cast incredibly accurate thanks to a reduction in twist and wobble when the rod is compressed. The guides on the rod are top-spec Fuji single-leg reverse guides with durable Alconite rings, that are lightweight so not to affect the rods action and performance. Another finishing touch is the extra-lightweight cutaway Fuji Reel seat, which is comfortable to handle and perfect when holding a rod for long periods, giving the angler an incredible feel through the rod. 

The 15ft rod in particular makes a perfect stickfloat tool, with the extra length aiding line control. The spacing of the rigs and large number of rings of the rod help ensure that line peels smoothly off the reel without any tangles or sticking to the blank, even in wet conditions. You may also notice that the guides do change colour throughout the rod, and this is simply because the highest quality guides we wanted to use on the top end of this rod are only available in certain colours. We didn’t want to let this cosmetic factor compromise the quality of the rod. An A-grade cork handle, with a bespoke Guru EVA hand grip and adjustable hook-up point finished this bad boy off perfectly.
