The Greys Prowla Platinum Specialist II (alongside the closely related Prowla Jerkbait 2 series) is a premium, high-performance predator rod range widely praised by pike and lure anglers for its exceptional balance and tactile bite detection.
Key Features and Design
- D-Tecta Pro Reel Seat: Features integrated dual cut-outs at both the top and bottom of the reel seat, keeping your hand and fingers in direct contact with the carbon blank for unmatched tactile sensitivity and rapid hook sets.
- High Modulus Carbon Blank: Built from an ultra-slim, super-light carbon fibre material that offers a stiff, fast-action tip for punchy casting while maintaining enough parabolic cushion to absorb aggressive lunges from trophy fish.
- Enhanced Handle Ergonomics: Fitted with a high-grade tapered rubberized cork handle and a slightly extended butt section, enabling comfortable two-handed casting when launching massive, heavy lures.
- Tangle-Free Hardware: Equipped with lightweight, braid-safe SIC guides and a specialized anti-tangle tip ring to eliminate crack-offs during high-distance casting.
-
Balance and Customization: Comes with removable counterbalance weights built into the rod butt, allowing you to fine-tune the center of gravity depending on your reel choice.
