Here at CFA we like our rods to be all rounders and this 13ft match rod from Maver certainly comes under that banner. Whether you are fishing lakes, river or commercials, the Abyss is a rod that can cope with all three disciplines. We would use it for waggler fishing in the main.
It’s smooth through action can deal with commercial carp and it will also perform well when stick-float fishing on rivers. You will also notice that it has that ‘feel’ you’ll need for bream and silvers, when stiffer rods will be pulling put of fish at the net.
Another major factor is its price; you get real bang for your buck and at just over £40 you can’t grumble about value for money here.
The Abyss family have been great rods in the Maver stable and these new additions to the range will certainly enhance the brands reputation as great value-for-money rods.
Technically, the rod has an EVA grip, folding hook-keeper ring, quality screw reel fitting and performance line guides throughout. We’d use lines of between 3lb and 8lb with the Abyss.
