Coarse Rods - Marksman Float Rods
Back to ProductsMarksman 13' Specialist Float Rod
The Specialist Float 13ft is featherweight in the hand and has a lovely crisp feel whilst casting, yet retains tremendous striking power. The overall action is super smooth, with our unique Anti-Lock helping you to land more fish.The Specialist Float 13ft is great for the finesse required for smaller silver fish using fine hooklengths and small hooks, but there's also an underlying power lurking within its pleasing profile which will easily tame bigger fish.
This rod has the all-round ability to land big fish on light line too. During field testing in competition Dave Coster landed three double figure carp - using a 0.12mm (3lb) trace and a medium wire size 18 hook.
Hardy Anti-lock is built in to all Marksman rods. Essentially, when the rod is under load, in a fish-playing situation, it continues to transfer the power, and lunges of the fish, into the rod curve rather than bottoming out too quickly. This greatly reduces the chances of hook pulls, and makes fish playing a truly rewarding experience. By using a special blend of carbons and optimum resin ratios, Hardy have fine tuned the Marksman range to offer ultra high performance rods that retain that all important fish-playing feel.

Testimonials
"This rod performs perfectly and recently helped me land carp of 10lb, 18lb and 9lb as well as bream, tench and roach. I have now invested in four other Marksman coarse rods."

"Just used my 13' Marksman Specialist float for the first time on one of my club waters, absolutely brilliant to use, so good in fact that I managed to land a 16lb common carp on 5lb mono. Incredibly light and easy to use, the rod did all the work. Will be replacing some of my other rods with Hardy as soon as I can. Thank you for making such a great product."
