The Vario Match 17'- 19' utilises a high modulus carbon blank that makes the rod incredibly light, responsive and well balanced. The 2' extension can be added to the 17' length without affecting the overall performance and this extra length comes into its own in deep water, when river fishing in a downstream wind or margin fishing for carp on commercial waters. The progressive through action allows pressure to be applied through the tip and middle right down to the butt. During tests carp in excess of 18lb where taken on the rod!
A high quality Fiji IPS Reel Seat is fitted to the full cork handle and duraable SLIK lined rings, exclusive to Fox, have been used throughout. A small hook retaining ring has also been placed on the underside of the blank.
Mark Pollard says 'I wouldn't consider visiting a commercial fishery where large carp are present without the Vario 17'/19'. By By using a pole float on a running line set-up, I am able to place a bait in the margins and guide big fish away from snags and play them in open water. This method provides so much more control over big fish, particularly on the first powerful run that can often result in hook pulls when using a pole'.
