The GTA Application rod is so much more than an overly powerful spod rod! It has been specified and then manufactured exclusively for Gardner Tackle on a powerful yet lightweight 4.5TC 3K-reinforced blank that offers amazing versatility!
LENGTH: 12ft
TEST CURVE: 4½lb
The balanced action the blank offers makes this wonderful rod suitable for spodding, spombing, marker float work and mapping a swim with a lead. It would be wrong to claim that it is an outright big weight hurling machine, it isn’t.
However, if you’re in the market looking for a superb balanced spod/application rod, then this may well be perfect for you! The GTA really excels with a medium sized spomb or spod; but it can cope with a bigger baiting device if necessary. This rod is a delight to use, without fear of ripping your shoulder out of it’s socket, because it’s impossible to compress! It’s amazing how much easier leading and baiting becomes with the right tools.
GTA rods are built on a lightweight medium-fast action blank, which ensures fast tip recovery and effortless accurate casting without being unforgiving or overly stiff. The combination of mandrel/materials gives a blank that offers a direct, responsive connection and this helps you lead and then bait that little bit more accurately and easily.
