TIEMCO Path Prover PRV411SL-4 "Balsa Connect"

Trout rod series where you can enjoy “setting and catching”

A specialty series based on the concept of "setting and catching" the target trout, clarifying the required elements and the lures used, and incorporating the necessary characteristics into each item. It will become a reliable partner for anglers who continue to challenge the diversifying trout fishing.

By using a blank that converges quickly, accurate casting with less blurring and precise lure control are possible. Each model features a good biting tip, sharp belly section, and hard butt. By increasing the butt diameter and designing the blank with a high taper, the weight is reduced, giving it the characteristic of bending under load even though it is firm overall.

This is a seryes that prioritizes ease of use in the field, considering the use of monofila-based nylon lines as well as line systems that are knotted with PE lines, which are currently becoming mainstream. Adopts a guide size that allows for easy knot removal. Throughout the series, the lightweight, sharp design with less blurring is perfect for embodying the idea of "setting and catching."

Each model has a subname, which is named after its specialty techniques, expected targets, and fishing spot scenes. This series is dedicated to all anglers who enjoy deep trout fishing with respect and passion for the trout tribe.

Pass Prover PRV411SL-4 "Balsa Connect" : 

A special model that pursues the usability of mountain stream balsa minnow. There are various types of mountain stream balsa minnow, and I think there are many anglers who imagine a lightweight one weighing ~3g. This model is not intended to be used with lightweight balsa minnows, but pursues the usability of 50mm 3-5g sinking balsa minnows, which have become mainstream these days. This specialty model was completed with the cooperation of three manufacturers, Rei S Lure Craft/STAYGOLD/Masu Moku (titles in no particular order), which develop products centered on sinking balsa minnows. In order to handle a wide range of situations, from headwaters to rivers, where 50mm class sinking balsa minnows are expected to be used, we have adopted a highly portable 4-piece length of 4 feet 11 inches, which is highly versatile.

The most compatible line settings are 0.4~0.6 PE line with a shock leader and 3~5lb class nylon line. The blank is sharp and firm, yet bends flexibly under load, making it possible to present balsa minnow to the target point, which has a low specific gravity and is difficult to fly, even with a compact casting motion. A guide that seems to be a bit large is used near the top, but the weight of the guide helps bend the blank and eliminates the problem of thread slipping, which tends to be a problem when casting low-density balsaminaw. During rod work, the sharp and firm blank helps in nimble operation and firmly follows the movement of the balsa minnow, which recovers quickly. It is the perfect partner when connecting with beautiful mountain stream fish through your favorite balsa minnow.
