Trout fishing with Tocs

Blanks need to be good casters, mainly on light weights (0.5gr nymphs for example), while retaining the precision, suppleness and roundness required to avoid unhooking the fish. The combination of roundness and resonance is essential for this type of precision fishing, where you have to pick out every vein of water and hook in a quarter of a second. There's no room for error when fishing for Trout with a Toc: every mistake pays off! The fish will often refuse the bait if it's badly presented, and if it's hooked, it will jump, tumble down the current and easily become unhooked.

The Blanks we've selected each have their own area of expertise, from small streams to large rivers. They will allow you to pass both leaded nymphs and natural baits. We have opted for three blanks that will allow you to combine efficiency in fishing action and control of the fight. These blanks offer the possibility of going down on very fine lines in the leader, while still being able to direct the fight on a big fish. They come in 2 or 4 equal sections. Length and power can be adapted to suit the fishing spots.

1. FANY 11' #2 A 3m35, 4-strand blank, originally designed for Fly fishing and more specifically for Tightline nymphing. It has proved excellent for Toc fishing. Thin, light and responsive, this 4-strand blank is the one most appreciated by Rodhouse team prostaffs for this program.
2. PPS130L-2 3m95, 2-10g, 2 sections : This blank is suitable for medium to large rivers. The curve is superb in combat. Very comfortable on natural baits or leaded nymphs. This is a very progressive blank. The finish is matt black. Excellent value for money.
3. ST1302-2 DELTA 3.96m 2-9g, 2 sections : This blank has the same characteristics as the PPS130L-2. Manufactured by North Fork composites, this blank is from the Delta series. The blank has a ringed finish. This finish means less line sticking to the blank.
