What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The title offers 14 ft and 15 ft options, while the details give 4.2 Metres and 4.20m | 112-225g. These length and casting-weight details are inconsistent, and the selected variant is not confirmed. Check the chosen option's length and recommended casting range before purchase. The 225 Grams figure is separately listed as a maximum lure weight, so do not assume it resolves the inconsistency.
