3 Free Spirit Hi S 12ft 3.5 Custom Build Full Slim EVA Fuji High Stand Off Rings

  
These rods are offered in excellent condition as they've been lightly used on occasions. The custom build on these include the following. Metallic red whippings with numbered sections within the whippings on both tip and butt (1 whip, 2 whip and so on). Fuji High stand off 40mm double leg to single leg ring set.

The rings really set these rods off with that high end custom look with a similar principle to the ti-forged air and k guides with that elongated shape. Any question please feel free to ask. The Hi-S range is often assumed to only be a long/extreme range of rods, this couldn't really be further from the truth, there is a Hi-S rod to suit every anglers needs.

Obviously some of the range are geared to extreme range and for this purpose you would be hard pushed to find rods that perform better than the likes of the Hi-S 200 and 220's, however when you get down to the 12' 2.5lb you wont find a better small water rod. What sets the Hi-S's apart from other makes/models of rod is the unique process used to make the blanks, Free Spirit have developed by using Low Resin 40t Carbon a method that can create a rod that has great casting potential, incredible accuracy and fast tip speed recovery but does not compromise the rod when feel and playability are needed. The Hi-S range are made from 1k carbon cloth and have around a 3% resin content (the glue that holds the carbon together) as opposed to other makes that can have anything upto and over 30%, the net result of this is that the rods have thinner wall thickness and faster tip speed recovery, it has the net effect of making a rod that can cast further than the rod feels it should, we often get comments from people that cannot believe the 3.5lb will cast as far and as accurately as it does yet plays fish like a 3lb tc rod. The Hi-S blanks feature what Free Spirit call their "Perdurable" finish, in short it means the blanks are scratch resistant, again down to the 3% resin content, there is nothing to scratch, diamonds are derived from carbon and you will struggle to scratch those! The most unique feature of the Hi-S range is that due to the manufacturing process the blanks are "identical", by this we mean that unlike other rods if you take say 10 Hi-S 3.5lb tc rods and mix all the tips and butts up they will all fit back together perfectly, other makes don't necessarily do that as each tip is made to fit each butt, so if you mix them up they wont go back in exactly the same position, this means no two blanks are exactly the same.

This rod will cast a 2.5oz lead accurately at say 60 yds but will also handle a 3 ½ oz or 4oz lead being pushed out to 140yds or in Hutch's hands over 180 yds! It will handle pva sticks or smaller solid bag work and is comfortable fishing small waters through to any big pit at "Long Range".
