The Norden predator range offers a fantastic combination of convenience, versatility and value. The short section lengths make transport easier than conventional 2-piece rods, without impeding on the progressive action which is designed to accommodate a wide range of lure applications.
The Norden is the perfect compromise between a conventional 2-piece lure rod and an ultra short sectioned ‘travel’ rod. If that convenience appeals to you, the Norden won’t disappoint. The relatively short section lengths will comfortably fit into your car and can even be transported on public transport without too much trouble, but when put together create a seamless progressive action that belies its construction. The Norden also has an understated, traditional appearance which will appeal if you prefer a more classic looking spinning rod as opposed to a more modern ‘bass-type’ design.
Although the Norden is at the lower end of the mid-price range it still contains an impressive line-up of carbon technology. The slim blanks are manufactured from High Modulus Carbon with the inclusion of HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and Nanosheet. The tapers are designed to create a progressive action, which will cover a wide range of options, enabling the rods to be used for several different lure types within their casting weight range. This is a great advantage if you are fishing with only one rod in your armoury. In keeping with the quality look and performance, all models have black Seaguide XOG guides, high quality full cork handles and a custom designed Shimano reel seat. There are 10 rods in the range with the lighter models being really suitable for perch and trout. The middle sizes also embrace zander fishing and the two longer 3m+ lengths are great for heavier lures and larger zander and pike.
