ESP Terry Hearn Classic Rod 12ft 3lb (40mm)

Description

This ESP Terry Hearn Classic Rod is a 12ft, 3lb test curve model with 40mm ringing, added to the range at Terry Hearn's request for a lighter 12ft rod suited to smaller venues. It has been extensively tested and refined to his exacting standards, and sits alongside the existing 12ft 9in models and the other two 12ft options: the Classic 3.25lb (50mm) and the Distance 3.50lb (50mm). The rod is produced in the latest ultra-high modulus carbon with a tough woven satin finish. Across the three test curves, the rods have a forward action with superb fish playing response and tactile feedback for feeling the drop. The 3lb model has an optimum casting weight of 2.5oz and, with a correctly balanced set up, is capable of achieving distances of 100m and beyond. The build stays faithful to the 12ft 9in models, with perfectly positioned SiC guides and single leg intermediates to reduce weight and improve action and balance. The logo artwork is discreetly placed on the underside of the blank. - Optimum length hard grade EVA handle - DPS reel seat - Smooth moulded ESP line clip - Signature ruby red tippet whipping - Engraved stainless butt cap
