Colmic Etan X3 – Length 4.20m – casting 80 – 200gm
The Colmic Etan X3 is a nice easy action continental rod which is well suited to a range of fishing situations. One of the big questions with continental rods is if you should buy a power or spliced tip? This is not a problem with the Colmic Etan X3 as it comes with one of each! The spliced tip has an optimum casting weight of 140gm and is perfect for when you need sensitivity but still want to cast a fair distance. If however you select the power tip then it completely changes the characteristics of the rod. Rated at 200gm the power tip gives the rod a much more powerful feel and is great for tougher conditions and targeting larger fish.
The 3 piece carbon blank has an easy to use parabolic action and is well suited to overhead or OTG casting. It has a slim look and is nicely finished with low rider guides, DPS style reel seat and a shaped butt grip.
