TEKLON LURE RODS As fishing is such an individual sport these 'short' rods are not going to suit everyone, but they do reflect the modern thinking... Very much Japanese in origin via France/Italy/Spain. As Henry Gilbey puts it ‘‘Shorter and much faster-action specialist lure rods help so much when you are continuously imparting action to various lures, both hard and soft. Being able to fish these modern rods almost like a "wand" makes lure fishing a whole lot easier and more efficient." In our opinion, these are one the best, and not just in their price range , but including far more expensive rods, plus they have proved super reliable. We have our pick of tackle .... 5 of us staff fish Teklon, its a personal choice and heck of a recommendation.

STAR
BUY
2.4m 2pc casting 10 - 40gm. Super sensitive tip for ultimate feed back on plastics and plugs when the slightest twitch can make all the difference. This rod is a true delight, couple it with a light reel and braid and it's a whole new fishing experience. £125
"The most fantastic, all round, fish any method plugging rod available" Henry Gilbey, Sea Angler Teklon Concept 832M 8' 3"
2.5m 2pc casting 15 - 50gm The powerhouse version, more powerful butt and stiffer tip make this an ideal all rounder, from working a surface popper to sub surface to deep diver but still sensitive enough to fish plastics if the occasion requires. £125
"Well suited to casting, cranking or working slightly heavier bass lures" Henry Gilbey, Sea Angler
Grauvell Teklon Concept
When we first saw these rods we knew they were winners. Some rods just have that 'special feel', not something you can put into words, but they are just absolutely 'RIGHT' and the Teklon Concept are in this category. Made from Japanese high performance graphite, super fast taper, immaculate finish featuring Fuji SiC rings, a custom winch, unmistakably modern but understated. The Teklon Concept is an outstanding interpretation of modern European short rod design, that compares directly with rods three times their price. In Sea Angler's Long Term Test Henry Gilbey said "These stand out from the crowd", "stunning, probably Best in Class", "superbly built", "comfortable to hold for long periods" Nuff Said!!
