About this rod
As the name suggests, the AS (Accuracy Shot) model is purpose-built for accurately casting lures into feeding fish, even when distance and conditions are against you. With a crisp blank recovery and a specialised guide setup featuring RV guides on the butt section, this rod delivers exceptionally smooth line release, supporting long, accurate casts into wind and rough offshore situations.
- Accuracy Shot blank design – engineered for pinpoint casting into active feeding schools
- RV guide butt section – ultra-smooth line ejection improves distance and casting stability
- Wide lure range versatility – confidently handles large lures while still casting down to 40g
- Balanced middle-class power – ideal taper to slowly and efficiently lift fish from depth
- High-stick capable fight style – blank loads easily to access butt power with control
- All-round offshore performer – ideal for tuna around 50–60kg and capable kingfish encounters
