Available ModelsThe Refined Boat series generally spans a couple of configuration lengths depending on your preferred angling style:
- 6ft (1.80m) Variant: A 2-piece split (50/50) configuration rated for 20-30lb class lines. This shorter length is highly favoured for tight quarters like kayak fishing or maneuvering around boat transoms.
