Lake trout fishing in Australia is experiencing some fantastic times! A lot of this fishing is based on lure fishing, traditionally via trolling various trout lures but also by casting minnows, topwater and various diving hard bodied lures.
This type of fishing has been popular for many years but until now there hasn’t been a performance rod designed and dedicated to the application…
Enter the Millerods idler 762, combining the correct blank power, action, length and handle style all in the one rod design for the serious boating trout angler!
The blank has a little more power at the tip end which gives excellent trolling capability, and is softer through the middle section which is gentler on hook holds, something that’s regularly a problem with hooked trout. The combination of these attributes also makes for an excellent casting rod that delivers distance even with small light lures.
The handle is also designed for adjustable rod holder use in mind, with the correct grip diameter to be locked down and long enough for holders or casting but not so long that the butt grip gets in the way when in the hand or a holder. The rear grip is hard wearing EVA in Millerods blue Camoufish colour. This is finished with the Millerods non-skid butt cap, which stops the rod from slipping around on the boat deck.
The Drifter reel seat is comfortable in the palm with a ‘soft touch’ barrel and the carbon tube foregrip/locking hood helps transfer the feel of the lure when the rod is hand-held.
Kigan guides with extra-hard Zirconia ceramics are very light on line wear. The generous number of 10 guides + tip-top guarantees super-smooth rod loading performance whether trolling, casting, retrieving or fish fighting!
As always, the exclusive custom Millerods anti-tangle hook keeper is included for easy stowing of the lure when not in use.
Suitable for use with both braid/leader combinations, and monofilament lines
