ARTICO THE PHOENIX 12 POUNDS 6'6''

A series of newly designed handcrafted rods

developed for live bait with the use of guardian or sinker leads.

Born from the collaboration between Artico and sport fishermen Stefano Adami and Gabriele Giannella.

The main features that can be appreciated in this model are:

lightness, very small diameter of the shaft, enormous power reserve and impressive reactivity...

but also many qualities that we will help you discover while fishing.

The Phoenix is produced in three different actions: 6Lb, 8Lb and 10Lb,

to cover all the possible variations that the live bait trolling fisherman can have.

Designed "by trolling fishermen for trolling fishermen", before obtaining the final blank,

The prototype was subjected to countless fishing tests for a year.

The tests were carried out by Stefano Adami in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea,

deep and rich in currents, and by Gabriele Giannella in the shallower waters of the Adriatic.

By doing this we can be sure that the setting is specific for fishing in our waters.

and this is what the Italian fisherman expects from a Made in Italy rod.

The length of the barrels is two meters and this guarantees that they can "work well"

live bait when fishing and to move easily from one wall to another even in the presence of bulky outboard motors.

At the same time, the barrel is not long, the leverage is adequate in combat and the tool is very easy to handle.

The lightness of the Phoenix is what makes it extremely fun to fight.

and this is priceless for those who fish with a rod in their hand.

The 6 lbs is ideal for light trolling, with weights from 150 to 300 gr.

It does not fear large predators which are handled with elegance and responsiveness;

and it is an excellent solution for trolling with very light terminals without risking unpleasant breakages.

The 8 lbs is a rod designed for trolling for dentex, grouper and bottom fish, with leads from 350 to 700 gr.

Despite the ballast, the rod is extremely sensitive and able to detect even the slightest touch.

Furthermore, it is a very very fun rod, it is not afraid to enter into traction with large pelagics,

ideal for trolling with live bait from 20 to 100 metres deep.

The 10 lbs is a real wild card: it fears nothing! Despite being extremely sensitive,

It easily handles weights from 400g up to 1kg. Born as a rod for the search for large amberjacks,

During the tests he also demonstrated a natural predisposition in "being able to turn the heads" of large groupers and dentex.

Finally, it is absolutely not afraid of the occasional tuna, which has become increasingly frequent in recent years when trolling.

According to customer requests the barrel can be equipped

with different types of rings in both the In Line and Acid (spiral) versions.
