Crazy Fish Arion ASR962MT 290cm 7-28g

New for 2021, the Arion series of long tubular models will be the most exciting for those who like to fish rivers from the shore.

TheCrazy Fish Arion can be described as an exceptional spinning rod that has set new weight limits for spinning rods. Such a length to weight ratio has never been seen before, apart from the super-luxury price category. What's more, the fittings of the Arion rods are also impressive: titanium frame, single leg (T-series) FUJI rings with SIC ceramics. VSS Fuji reel holder and premium cork handle. Arion rods are also available with an EVA grip, but we still recommend the cork grip for maximum sensitivity. Cork is less viscous than EVA and less likely to dampen the vibrations of the blank. However, the pride of this spinning rod is not the fittings but the blank itself. The handle itself is not very light or miniature, but the blank itself is extremely light, made of Japanese Toray Nanometer 40T carbon. The question for many anglers is why the infinite lightness of the gear, what is the difference between 10g and 20g, and if you put a reel weighing 3-4 times more, all the fun will disappear. The answer is very simple - the lighter the gear, the more sensitive it is. And the weight of the reel itself is in the palm of the hand, so it doesn't put any extra strain on the wrist, unlike the weight of a bats blank, which puts a lot of stress on the wrist. If the strain on the wrist is only due to the weight of the spinning rod, the overall sensitivity of the gear is still due to the weight of the whole gear, and the reels should be as light as possible. Shimano, the largest and most advanced reel manufacturer, is now producing super lightweight reels at a reasonable price. In the premium segment, of course, nothing beats the Shimano Vanquish, and when it comes to the price bar, the Shimano Vanford and the super new for 2021, the Shimano Ultegra FC, are king.

The long awaited "salmon" Arion. The ASR962MT and ASR962MLT are definitely going to be one of the top choices for salmon. Thanks to its very low weight and comfortable handle it will "stick to your hand" as soon as you pick it up. Thanks to its fast action, it will throw any wobbler or shiner to the maximum. The lighter model up to 21g is not the typical super fast action Arion. It is more like our popular "seabass" models. This model will appeal to wobblers who are not keen on stakes. The ASR962MT up to 28g is already reminiscent of the shorter Arions, with a very tight action, dry shank. It will appeal to both jiggers and salmon anglers looking for a rod with maximum casting distance.
