Trabucco Prestige Mini 4.50 m, 10-20g

This rod is completely different from the ones we looked at before. The Trabucco Prestige Mini Bolo (Art. No. 124-82-640) is a so-called "travel" or short-section model.

Its main difference is its extremely short transport length.

Trabucco Prestige Mini Bolo 400/8

This is the rod for anglers who appreciate compactness but want to have a bolo tool always at hand (in the boot of the car, in a rucksack or even in a travel case).

Technical data (4.50 m model):

• Length: 4.50 m

• Number of

parts

• : 8 sections (indicate the number /8).

• As there are many parts, they are all short.

• Transport length: only 70 cm.

• In comparison, the transport length of Sirenia or Flare models is about 140 cm.

Weight

• : about 190g. Although it is short, it is not as light as the sport models due to the large number of joints, but for a 4 metre tool it is a very good weight.

Main features:

• Compactness: this is its biggest plus point.

• Construction: Made of high quality carbon fibre.

• Although there are many parts, Trabucco has managed to keep the rod's action good - it's not "soft" or viscous.

• Rings: Comes with lightweight S-SiC rings mounted on the top of each section (some sections also have sliding rings for better distribution of the line).

What is it for?

1. For the travelling angler: Ideal for holidays when you don't know if you'll get a chance to fish, but want to take your gear with you.

2. For fishing in hard-to-reach places: When you need to wade through thick bushes or trees to reach the stream, the short case is a lifesaver.

3. For quick fishing: Perfect for catching small to medium fish in lakes or slow flowing canals.

Verdict: If the Sirenia is a precision sports car, then the Prestige Mini Bolo is your reliable all-terrain vehicle that always fits in the boot.
