GREYS FLY RODS CHOOSE GREYS… FROM FOUNDATION LEVEL THROUGH TO PROFESSIONAL ANGLER WE HAVE A SPECIFICATION, ACTION AND PRICE POINT TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. Our new entry level GS rods feature Greys attention to detail and class leading build quality paired with a user friendly yet high performance action at a simply unmatched price. The GS2 range lifts the bar with improved cosmetics, hard-ware and a fully comprehensive range.The industry leading GRXi+ category, often copied but never matched, brings performance in its purest form to the practical value driven angler in Freshwater, Saltwater and Two Handed designs. These core foundations of the Greys rod range provide the platform of quality upon which our specialist and high performance rod ranges are built X-Flite, Streamflex and Platinum are benchmarks within their respective categories and are the smart choice of the advanced angler. Greys drive towards performance for a fair price has introduced industry leading design and production techniques including computer aided blank design, automated rapid stress testing and an in depth program of competitor analysis to ensure we stay ahead of the field. Features including line up marks, wear resistant multi composite handles, laser engraved rod details, saltwater safe hardware, Titanium guides, and custom designed fittings can all be found in our ranges.
Technology doesn’t mean a lot unless it results in tangible improvements in performance and pleasure for the end user and so after all the science is over all our prototypes are put in the hands of anglers who between them will cast size 20# dries, 1/0# pike flies, brass tube flies, indicators and split shot and just about every other fly, device or fly line you can imagine that’s ever been invented to catch fish. With so much choice available today in fly rods it is truly remarkable that when it comes to Performance for Price there is only one choice.
EXPLANATIONS LOADING POINT The loading point of a fly rod helps describe the relative stiffness of the blank and gives an indication of how much effort is required to flex the blank in casting. We split this in to three descriptions, low, medium and high. A low loading point rod with relatively low stiffness indicates general suitability for close range tactics and anglers who prefer an easier more relaxed casting stroke. A high loading point would be used to refer to a rod with relatively high stiffness and indicates a rod more suitable to long range tactics and generally a more powerful casting stroke.
ROD STOP In general the more powerful and stiffer the rod, the harder we need to stop the rod to transfer energy to the fly line. We describe rod stop as light, moderate and positive to indicate its optimum usage. Most rods require a moderate stop as this suits the vast majority of casting styles and applications. However, on our very highest performing models a more positive stop helps unleash the full potential of these very fast and powerful designs.
RECOVERY RATE This refers to how quickly the rod recovers to straight from its deflected position during casting. Recovery rate is influenced both by the taper design and the type of material used. Our descriptions of low, moderate and rapid can help the angler get a sense of the rod’s ‘tempo’ or ‘cycle time’, this indicates if the rod responds best to a slow, smooth casting stroke or a quicker, more precise stroke.
FLEX CHARACTERISTICS Split into three categories, this gives an indication of the nature in which the rod bends, although there are many variables inbetween, in its most basic form, rod flex can be split into ‘through’, ‘middle to tip’ and ‘tip’. TIP

The G-Tec Double Handed shares all the characteristics of its trout-fishing sister. High modulus blanks, quick dampening action, fast recovery, deep reserves of power. That’s the key. The G-Tec DH puts out long line after long line, hour upon hour, into any weather, with ease and accuracy. You’ll enjoy the custom-designed reel fitting that enhances both the lightness and the balance of the bigger rod. The unique handle with its thumb location point helps improve your casting stroke and hand position. The matt grey blank looks good but think how effective the elimination of flash is on low, summer rivers.

G-TEC TRAVEL With spiralling fuel costs and our concern for the global climate, we might not fish long haul as much as we once did. This in no way decreases the joys of a six piece travel rod. The G-Tec Travel can pop into an overnight bag for just the shortest of sessions during a business or pleasure trip. Hide it away beneath the seat of your car. Strap it to the crossbar of your bike. Tuck it into your rucksack. Travel doesn’t always have to be gas-guzzling and your G-Tec will be a friend on foot as much as in the air. Though it does break down into six sections, the legendary action of the original G-Tec is maintained by the smooth transition of power through the joints.

Four years after its inception, the Streamflex has become the rod of choice for river guides and running water experts everywhere. Its casting accuracy makes it ideal for tight, overgrown situations. Its speed on the strike is necessary for spooky browns and shy winter grayling. Its great feel and immediate response is essential for the light tippets crystal clear rivers demand. Its light, balanced blanks mean you can fish with it tirelessly all day, over miles of water. An entire range from a 6ft 6in, three-weight to a 10ft, five-weight make the Streamflex a master at every river discipline. The smaller, lighter rods are ideal for brooks. The 10ft range masters Czech nymphing, spider work and dry fly presentation.
• Lightweight rings and reel fittings for the delicate approach so much stream work demands
• Four sections and tough travel tube for the mobile angler • Olive-bronze blanks with matching whippings, matt finish tiger-wood spacer, and satin-gold anodised reel fittings complete the aesthetic package

PLATINUM XD COMPETITOR The Platinum range has long been the benchmark rod for the serious stillwater angler. Its fast action, quick recovery tip and all round power have made it the ultimate big water casting tool. The XD Competitor takes the range into its next dimension. We’ve slimmed down the range to just three models to give added focus. The new non-flash matt olive finish might look utilitarian but in harsh, sunny conditions it may be the edge you need. The incorporation of rubber into the cork handle increases durability and enhances grip in the wet. That’s a feature you will appreciate any month of the year. The reel seat is black, hard-anodised and totally secure throughout a demanding, big casting day. It will never swell, even if you put it away wet and, of course, it’s saltwater proof if you fancy a session of bass or mullet fishing.
It has a fast tip action with the backbone for sinking lines and longer casts. Trout & Salmon Magazine

X-FLITE It’s our continuing advances in the design and construction of fly rods that have enabled us to create the X-Flite. This is a rod even lighter, smoother and more powerful than its renowned predecessor, the Greyflex M2. The high modulus construction allows us to create the rod in four pieces for vastly improved storage and transportation. The action is unimpaired, testament to the wizardry of our technology. The fittings are typically Greys: high standard, beautifully presented, well thought out and featuring constant attention to detail. The X-Flite is a better rod all round but still at a price you can afford. This is another beauty of technology: you get more rod for your money. For the angler, a win-win situation.

Following the huge success of the GRX and GRXi double handed rods was always going to be somewhat difficult, but understanding the requirements of the modern salmon angler helped us greatly when designing all new GRXi+. This strong and durable blank sits very well in the ultra fast world of Shooting heads and Skagit lines but is also versatile enough to handle longer belly lines. Aesthetically, the rod is pleasing to the eye with a modern look and feel. Four sections mean these rods are now more practical for travel. Ultimately, the GRXi+ rods represent great value for money, providing the angler with unparalleled quality and performance.

The first thing people notice when picking this rod up, is how well it is balanced. Next comes the crisp response of a rod associated with a much higher price point. So how have we achieved this feeling in a rod at this level? The answer to this lies in attention to detail, experience and settling for nothing but the best material at every level. Matched with the appropriate line, the GS2 has an easy, user friendly action. The rod is a dream to cast with mid head Spey lines and has a spine strong enough to deal with any Salmon, Sea Trout or Steelhead.

GS Take a look through any fishing catalogue or tackle shop rod rack, and you will find a multitude of ‘entry level’ rods – so why should you select a GS from this huge offering? Here at Greys, we don’t simply buy a rod ‘off the shelf’ and change the name and logo – even on our entry level range we design and develop everything from scratch, here in Alnwick. From the four piece blank – built to our specification, to the shape of the handle, we design the lot. The rod actions are tested and ‘tweaked’ until our developers are 100% happy with them, then the blanks are tested rigorously on our test rig. Each model then undergoes extensive testing ‘on the water’ with our consultants across the globe. Only after we are happy with the results of all of this development and testing do we offer the rods to you, the customer. Read the specification, take a look at the finish, and feel the action of the four piece blanks, and you will realise that the only thing ‘entry level’ about a GS rod is its price.

PLATINUM XD The XD series is similar to standard Platinum lines, but has been specially reworked to make it a specialist distance line. It gives an extra five yards of length in the running line which experienced casters will find especially useful. The subtle tan coloured head allows gentle, unobtrusive presentation whilst the high visibilty orange running line shows the optimum shooting point for long distance presentation. A modified taper, a hard, slick finish and the overall low diameter and suppleness of the line makes this a joy for long distance work. Product Code GPLXD01 GPLXD02 GPLXD03

PLATINUM
PLATINUM SPEY
These superb-quality lines have become incredibly popular amongst discerning fly anglers. The extended front and rear tapers and the long belly of the line gives tremendous distance and subtle presentation. The low-diameter running line has less air resistance for increased line speed, easier mending and longer distance. The subtle, memory-free coating irons out loops and makes for long, smooth casts and great line presentation. The floating lines come in heron grey or high-visibilty orange.
Designed and developed in the UK, the Platinum Spey is compliant with the new AFTM standard for Spey casting lines.

WAKESAVER
G-SERIES
A full floating line with a short (7in), clear, intermediate tip section. The sinking tip eliminates leader wake on the slowest retrieves, and reduces the angle that the tippet makes with the fly line. The high visibility floating section helps detect subtle takes and the taper allows for good long-range presentation. The Wakesaver is suitable for a whole range of techniques like static nymphs, wet hoppers, loch-style drifting and fishing suspender buzzers.
A range of floating lines to meet most still and running water challenges. An extremely high quality fly line with an amazingly keen price, G-Series lines are perfect for developing the emerging skills of the newcomer to fly fishing. This line behaves and casts like lines costing much more, and with its braided core, low memory and hi-vis yellow colour is great for detecting even the slightest of takes.

GREYLON BACKING / GEL SPUN BACKING
GREYLON COPOLYMER TIPPET
Our Greylon Backing has been designed to superior technical specifications offering low stretch, fine diameter and excellent strength. The high visibility pink colour allows you to keep track of a big fish in the water, and the round profile of the backing reduces knots and stores perfectly on the spool.
Copolymer is extraordinarily supple, and incredibly strong, so you can choose a lower diameter to help with a natural presentation. The excellent knot strength adds security and the slight stretch of copolymer helps cushion hard-running fish, especially when they are making those last lunges under the rod tip. You’ll also appreciate the clear finish of the line, so important in bright weather or clear water.
Our Gel Spun Backing has an incredibly low diameter, giving you loads more backing on your spool. It’s also very tough, retaining 100% of its strength in water and has extreme abrasion resistance. Product Code Braided Backing: GDB01 GDB02 Gel Spun Backing: GGSB01 GGSB02

GREYLON KNOTLESS TAPERED LEADERS
BRAIDED LOOPS
Our copolymer tapered leaders guarantee the best possible presentation. We’ve finely tuned the tapers so that you will achieve a perfect turnover even under the most taxing of conditions. The high diameter butt section gives an efficient power transfer allowing the fly to be put down with precision and accuracy. Greylon leaders are memory-free so they lie on the water perfectly and are transparent for maximum stealth in clear water and bright conditions.
Braided Loops are by far the best way of securing any type of leader to your fly line and can also be used for connection between your fly line and backing. In two strengths – 20lb for trout and 30lb for salmon.

TOOLS GREYS D-BARBING PLIERS The Greys D-Barbing Pliers are more than just that. As well as being excellent for crushing the barbs on flies which is a necessity for most Trout fisheries, the lower part of the blade is a super sharp pair of scissors, perfect for cutting all types of fluorocarbon or copolymer.
GREYS NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS The Greys Needle Nose Pliers are Greys’ version of the Swiss army knife. Its uses seem endless. Fixing split shot onto your rig, de-barbing hooks and unhooking fish are just the start. A handy wrist cord and foam grip give comfort and security. If you need one tool for all your fishing, the Greys Needle Nose Pliers are your perfect option.
GREYS FINE NOSE FORCEPS The Greys Fine Nose Pliers are ideal for re-moving hooks from deeply hooked fish. Their 5’’ length is useful for all sorts of Toothy critters and their attractive rainbow finish allows them to stand out in your tackle box.
GREYS LINE SNIPS
PLATINUM DROGUE
A good quality pair of line snips are essential for any angler. If you fish once a month, or five times a week, we all need them. With a built in point to clear your hook eye and super sharp jaws.
GREYS BRAID SCISSORS Braid is an essential part of many fishing techniques. Zero stretch gives vastly improved bite detection, but most scissors or snips just aren’t up to the job of trimming off all of those loose ends. The Greys Braid Scissors however, chop through braid like a hot knife through butter. They are also excellent for cutting soft wire and are used widely in fly fishing for pike.

GREYS SPINNING &LURE AT GREYS, WE’RE ANGLERS AND THAT MEANS WE UNDERSTAND AND LOVE EVERY STYLE OF FISHING, NOT JUST FLY. WE REALISE LURE FISHING IS A TRUE ART FORM, A TECHNIQUE THAT DEMANDS SKILL, EXPERIENCE, IMAGINATION AND DEDICATION. We know that to present lures properly and appealingly, your rod has to work in tandem with you and impart life to what is, essentially, an inanimate object made of wood, plastic, metal or rubber. That’s why our range of lure rods is tried, tested and extensive. They are rods that will help you develop and enjoy the art of the lure. Our range is complete. The X-Flite is a joy to use with its low diameter blanks and lightweight hardware. If one thing shows that this is a rod designed by anglers for anglers it is this: notice how the handle is not just made up of highquality cork but is incorporated with sections of hybrid rubberized cork. This is to give a better grip in the wet, cold conditions that all lure anglers face. The X-Flite really is a range we have worked hard to make perfect in every detail. The GRXi and G-Series Spin both incorporate terrific performance at a surprisingly modest price. These are two ranges that feel and fish far better than their price tag would indicate.
50 )
Here, you will find models that allow you to present a Mepps No.1 under a bush, in water just a foot deep, to rods that can punch out a big Shadrap against a stormforce gale blasting down a loch or reservoir. If lure fishing is your passion, then you will want to look at the G-Lite range. These are rods that really fire the imagination. The accuracy of a G-Lite cast is extraordinary. Every tweak you want to give your retrieve the rod transmits to the lure and so great is the sensitivity of the G-Lite that you will pick up on the most subtle investigations of the spookiest of fish. Home or abroad, the Missionary 6 Spin must be the most travelled range of rods that we have ever produced. Wherever fishermen gather at airports, you are likely to find Missionary 6s packed away in the luggage. They are so adaptable. They are so packable. They are just so good in every way. Fantastic to fish with yet rugged in the extreme. Stuck out in Russia, or Asia, or the wilds of Alaska, you just can’t afford for your rod to let you down.

MISSIONARY 6 SPIN
X-FLITE SPIN / X-FLITE BAIT
Unless our garden is riverside, we all travel to fish. Planes, trains, cars, bikes, on your feet… a rod that packs down to sections as little as fourteen inches long has to be good news. The ‘6s’ are made of high modulus carbon to give lightness, strength and above all, feel. These rods really do fish and are really made for enjoyment as well as efficiency. So sensitive are the ‘6s’, why limit yourself to spinning with them? Free lining. Touch legering. The Missionary 6 does it all.
The X-Flite Spin is designed to push build quality and value for money to the very limits in a high-performance spinning rod. The low diameter blanks and high intermediate modulus carbon construction really do make the difference when ‘feel’ is essential to success.

GREYS COARSE FISHING GREYS CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING BRANDS IN COARSE FISHING, PROBABLY MOST FAMOUS IN THIS AREA FOR OUR TOP SELLING PRODIGY RODS. THE GREAT NEWS IS WE’VE COMPLETELY REVAMPED THIS RANGE FOR 2010, INTRODUCING THE EXCITING NEW PRODIGY TX AND VX MODELS. We realise times are tough out there so we’ve worked hard to make our retail prices highly competitive, while not compromising on quality or performance in any way. In fact we’ve improved our rods quite considerably by using cutting edge materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, in order to keep them perfectly in tune with modern day requirements. You will also notice that we have changed tack at Greys. After all, we have more than enough in-house expertise to design and develop innovative tackle. Our entry into the predator market under Prowla has been a huge success and is a prime example of our forward thinking and innovative approach. This new philosophy is ongoing so you’ll see many more exciting new developments on the coarse fishing front across various Greys sub brands.
56 )
We endeavour to test our fishing equipment to absolute extremes. From fish-fighting machines to in-house carbon engineers, we have a multitude of high standards to work with. But nothing else compensates for actually using something in the environment it’s primarily designed for. That is why we would like to thank our Greys Coarse Academy members for thoroughly field testing all new products. The feedback we receive from these dedicated anglers is invaluable, ensuring all our new tackle is cutting edge and up to the mark. This is also reflected with our famous Worldwide Extended Warranty on all rods in the Greys ranges, along with our brilliant After Sales Service, which covers all of our other products. Tight lines!

GREYS COARSE RODS THESE ARE EXCITING TIMES AT GREYS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND LENGTHY DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE COMPLETELY REVAMPED OUR HUGELY POPULAR PRODIGY COARSE RODS. WE KNOW MANY THOUSANDS OF ANGLERS HAVE INVESTED IN THIS CLASSIC RANGE OF SPECIALIST AND SPECIMEN BLANKS, BUT WE FELT THE TIME HAD FINALLY ARRIVED TO MODERNISE AND IMPROVE THEM EVEN MORE. After all, angling methods and trends have evolved dramatically. This is more than adequately reflected with our new Prodigy TX and VX rods. We’ve sourced new blends of high modulus carbons and invested in new production processes that result in dynamic improvements in performance. We have also taken into account that specimen fish are growing ever bigger, methods are becoming more advanced and modern angling techniques are generally so much more demanding! The type of venues now being fished have also influenced our new rods. They are obviously designed with traditional lake and river settings in mind, but popular commercial fisheries are now very much an important part of the equation.
We have expanded our Prodigy ranges accordingly, with float rods capable of hauling out big fish and big catches, versatile feeder rods, upgraded barbel rods and serious stateof-the-art light specimen rods. Greys have always been about quality and high performance at a competitive price. Despite the recent difficult economic climate, the good news is we have managed to make our new Prodigy TX Specialist, Specimen and Twin Tip rods even more accessible due to their keen pricing. Prodigy VX Twin Tip and Barbel rods also represent amazing value for the packages they offer. All of these rods have been extensively field tested by product managers and by Greys Coarse Academy members, who are an important and integral part of our development process.

G-TEC FLOAT RODS The 11ft Compact Float Rod combines superb casting and fish playing action with a truly amazing anti-lock and lightweight nature. It breaks down compactly into 4 pieces for easy storage, or it can be pre-rigged up in a longer 2 section format. The G-Tec 13ft Float rod is a versatile all-rounder, aimed at light to medium strength lines and smaller hooks, when a degree of finesse is called for on rivers, lakes or canals. In situations where more casting and fish playing backbone is required, the 13ft Power Float version is perfect for targeting big commercial fishery weights or larger fish, also for launching out heavy wagglers and controlling business-like river floats. The 15ft Float offers a tad more power than is normally found in extra long rods. This has been built into its middle and butt sections, but is nicely complimented by a soft tip action, making this the ideal weapon for specialist long trotting, casting out big loaded wagglers, or fishing the slider. The four-piece 12ft Specimen Carp Bagger rod stores away very compactly and offers serious casting and fish playing power. It’s perfect for out and out attacking work with bagging wagglers, pellet wagglers, surface controllers and carp splasher floats.
G-TEC 13’ FLOAT Whether fishing for silver fish with refined float gear or targeting larger species with carefully balanced tackle, Greys G-Tec 13ft Float is well up for the task. It’s certainly a first choice when fine lines and small hooks are the order of the day. This responsive blank is equally adept at flicking out light stick floats as it is crisply casting decent sized wagglers a long way.
G-TEC 13’ POWER FLOAT With Greys 13ft G-Tec Power Float blank you get all the strength you need, but this is carefully integrated with an exquisite casting and fish-playing action. It’s a vital combination many match anglers look for when targeting big weights of commercial fishery carp, where staying attached to hard-fighting fish is just as important as reaching them in the first place. But this is not just a power float rod for carp. It makes a superb choice for long trotting big river floats like chubbers and Avons, while its casting accuracy and crisp nature is ideal for general waggler fishing just about anywhere.
G-TEC 15’ FLOAT The G-Tec 15ft Float rod has been designed with big rivers, deep still waters and long range casting in mind. This rod incorporates super fast casting and striking power, but carefully combined with a surprisingly lightweight feel, great balance and a forgiving tip action. It’s the perfect weapon for launching big wagglers to the horizon, also big sliders into deep water and trotting large capacity river floats. There’s also enough backbone for ambushing big fish down the margins with this unique four piece float rod, which is absolutely bristling with attitude! Product Code GGTC010 GGTC020 GGTC030

G-TEC 11’ COMPACT FLOAT Here at Greys we are always looking for gaps in the rod market. We discovered a huge void when it comes to a light line float rod that stores away compactly enough for the travelling angler and yet provides a decent action. This slim, lightweight rod has a progressive action, which is capable of casting wagglers a long way, but it also has a lovely forgiving anti-lock nature when put under pressure, so it can deal with light lines and small hooks.

During extensive field-testing the 11ft Compact accounted for some huge catches of carp up to nearly 20lbs! This was when using a maximum recommended 6lb main line with a 5lb hook length – combined with pellet waggler tactics. It also performed brilliantly with its minimum 2lb trace rating and smaller hooks when used under more difficult conditions. Most short section travel rods that break down compactly enough to store in the boot of a car, or take on an aeroplane, have very stiff actions when fully assembled. But the G-Tec 11ft Compact design is different. It has a similar action to many two or three piece float rods. This means it’s equally at home casting light wagglers and stick floats as it is to launching out loaded floats like pellet wagglers up to 5g.

G-TEC FEEDER RODS
G-TEC 13’ POWER METHOD FEEDER
With G-Tec Feeder Rods all the carbon quivertips are interchangeable, so these highly sensitive bite indicators can be switched between any rods in the range. Additional quivertips can also be purchased to customise a rod, making it even more versatile. 0.5oz, 0.75oz, 1oz, 2oz, 3oz, 4oz, 5oz and 6oz tips are available, while the heaviest 5oz and 6oz versions have enlarged guides to allow easy passage of shock leader knots.
It’s clear, when you see the almost parallel butt section, that the G-Tec 13ft Power Method Feeder has huge amounts of power. It can deliver a heavily laden method feeder a long, long way, but still takes on a lovely shockabsorbing bend when bites are connected with. This rod offers essential fast line pick up on the strike and its three carbon quivertips are perfectly tuned in with the extra long 13ft format. The 5oz and 6oz tip sections both feature oversize guides making them ideal for use with heavy shockleaders.
The shortest rod is the 9ft 6in Bomb design, which comes supplied with 1/2oz, 3/4oz and 1oz push-in quivertips. This model is perfect for short range or confined swims and can handle light presentation or hitting shy bites from surprisingly big fish. There are also 11ft, 12ft and 13ft feeder rods, gradually stepping up in power as they get longer, tailored to cover just about every type of venue and casting distance. Completing the quivertip range is the very powerful 13ft Method Rod, which is capable of heaving out the weightiest of method feeders on commercials. This seriously powerful rod can cover other extreme applications like casting heavyduty river feeders and maximum range casting on stillwaters.
G-TEC 11’ FEEDER This versatile 11ft feeder rod offers just the right length, balance and crisp action to tackle a wealth of short to mid-distance demands. These encompass many types of venue, including small to medium sized rivers, wider canals, drains and numerous stillwater situations. The 1oz, 2oz and 3oz carbon quivertips match in perfectly with various groundbait or blockend feeder demands and show up the slightest of indications.

G-TEC 12’ FEEDER The G-Tec 12ft feeder is a true all-rounder. Being supplied with highly sensitive 2oz, 3oz and 4oz carbon quivertips, this powerful casting tool also boasts a forgiving fish-playing action. Out on the bank this translates into a feeder rod that can do just about everything. From launching out weighty river blockends loaded with maggots, to far more subtle groundbait feeder tactics aimed at big stillwater bream. The rod also has enough backbone to handle small to medium sized Method feeders, while its hard-wearing SIC line guides can easily deal with braid and strong shock leaders.
G-TEC 13’ FEEDER The long and powerful G-Tec 13ft feeder rod is geared up for big chucks, whether fishing wide rivers or huge stillwaters. It’s capable of launching any type of feeder tackle very accurately, thanks to its positive, progressive action. But once the end tackle is working, the highly sensitive carbon quivertips come into play, highlighting every indication. An added bonus is the blank itself is forgiving enough not to cause undue hook pulls, especially when using braids. The rod’s 3oz, 4oz and 5oz carbon quivertips also show up bites more clearly than much lighter fibreglass indicators. The 5oz tip features oversize guides, ideal for use with shockleaders.

G-TEC 12’ SPECIMEN CARP BAGGER
G-TEC CARBON QUIVERTIPS
With powerful fish like carp, there comes a cut off point where normal match and power float rods can’t cope. This brings in the need for a stronger 12ft float rod, which can be broken down into two sections for easy storage – with a reel fitted – so it’s instantly ready for action. The Greys 12ft Specimen Carp Bagger can also be dismantled into four pieces, for even more compact storage, making it an ideal travel rod. Unlike other short section rods, this new model combines immense power with a delightful action, more akin to an Avon style blank, opening up countless possibilities for where it can be applied.
G-Tec Carbon Quivertips are fully interchangeable between all G-Tec quivertip rods. These tips offer better rigidity in flowing water and when combatting tricky conditions.

PRODIGY TX 11’ SPECIMEN When the discerning angler wants a slightly shorter light specimen rod, Greys discovered the majority of current designs had rather pokey actions and surprisingly heavy test curves. In order to fill this gap in the market, Greys developed the Prodigy TX 11ft Specimen, a 1lb test curve rod, which offers a much more forgiving action. This is coupled with a lightweight nature and top quality components at a very competitive price! This delightful rod can be applied to a wealth of applications, including stalking big fish in the margins, free lining, float fishing, legering, feeder fishing, spinning and light carp tactics… the list is endless!
PRODIGY TX 12’ SPECIMEN 1.25LB This 1.25lb test curve 12ft Specimen rod is perfect for big fish river and lake fishing. It has a lightweight, well-balanced nature and will comfortably perform like a traditional Avon design when trotting big floats or touch legering.
PRODIGY TX 12’ SPECIMEN 1.50LB Stepping up a gear, this 1.50lb test curve 12ft Specimen rod offers increased casting and fish playing power, while remaining amazingly lightweight and responsive. It will make a great light carp rod on smaller venues, eliminating hook pulls with its forgiving action.
PRODIGY TX 12’ SPECIMEN 1.75LB With more in-built power again, but still featuring a superb anti-lock fish playing action, this 1.75lb test curve 12 footer is a must buy for the angler targeting big fish, particularly on smaller venues where higher test curve carp rods prove too over-gunned.

These offer 1.25-1.75lb or 1.5-2.0lb tip options, which covers lots of ground when it comes to big fish tactics that might include free-lining, casting big loaded floats, legering or feeder fishing in conjunction with optonics or butt indicators.

PRODIGY VX BARBEL
BEWICK CENTRE PIN
Prodigy VX 12ft Barbel Rods are primarily designed for serious whisker fishing, but being supplied with a hollow specimen top and a backup quivertip carrier section (including three push in quivertips) these rods are amazingly versatile. It goes without saying they suit demanding river barbel tactics, however, they are also ideal for targeting big fish on popular commercial fisheries… along with many other possibilities. The 1.75lb or 2.0lb test curve options cover lots of ground when it comes to big fish tactics, which might include free-lining, heavyduty float fishing, straight legering, also casting out big feeders and PVA bags.
You don’t have to own a centrepin to enjoy your river fishing or close-in carp and tench work but you’re missing a fantastic way of fishing if you never try it out. Centrepins give you a measure of control you’d never previously dreamt of on running water and the thrill of playing a big fish on a ‘pin’ is something you’ll never forget. The Bewick is designed in Alnwick around classic designs. This reel is incredibly light, yet amazingly strong. The shoulder of the reel grows organically from the bar – there’s nothing welded here.

KLIP-LOK® BAIT BOXES
KLIP-LOK® BAIT BOXES – FLIP TOP LID
After much research, Greys have designed the ultimate Bait Box range, aimed at being both retailer and angler friendly. The revolutionary Klip-Lok® Boxes are in fact octagonal but retain a square shaped profile because their corners are only lightly angled.
Klip-Lok® Bait Boxes fitted with Flip Top Lids fill an important gap in the market. They have the same unique 1.4pt, 2.4pt and 3.4pt bases as the newly released standard Klip-Lok® range, but the lids have no perforations. Instead they feature secondary hinged inner lids, which allow quick access to the contents stored inside. This gains a great advantage for keeping baits like maggots or worms dry in wet conditions, or preventing moist offerings like soft expander pellets, diced luncheon meat, paste, hemp, tares, particle mixes and sweetcorn from drying out in sunny or windy weather.
• Made from tough injection moulded polypropylene • Three sizes of modular base, same lid fits all • Easy to operate Klip-Lok Lids • Lids feature extra secure Klip-Lok fastening on all sides • Lids fitted with escape proof, secure seal rubber gaskets • Clear perforated lids have tapered anti-clog holes • Lid perforations are fenced in to prevent bait escape • Optional non-perforated Flip Top Lids are interchangeable with all bases • All boxes have locking feet for neat and secure stacking • Enlarged capacities allow extra breathing space for live bait ®

GREYS PROWLA HELPING TO BRING PREDATOR FISHING OUT OF THE DARK AGES WE ARE PROUD AND EXCITED TO BRING YOU PROWLA! PREDATOR FISHING IN BOTH THE UK AND EUROPE HAS BECOME THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE FOR MANY ANGLERS AS PERCH, PIKE AND ZANDER CONTINUE TO GROW IN SIZE AND TROPHY STATURE. These beautiful and striking fish can be targeted on various venues accessible to many, when other species might be quarry for only a fortunate few. Techniques and tackle have, until now, been somewhat trusted and staid so at Greys we felt it was time to accelerate things forward... Wind back the clock to October 2007, when we joined together some of the finest Pike angling brains in Europe, mixed them up with Perch, Zander and predator professionals, threw them all into a room with our very own CAD engineering and tooling team and waited. You would have witnessed the conceptual birth of our Prowla range rods, luggage, tools, and terminal tackle. Prowla’s subsequent launch in September 2009 was greeted with open arms and a tsunami of interest and support. Not surprisingly this followed a huge fish for television and radio star Chris Tarrant, who banked his PB 30lb 2oz Pike while fishing with Greys consultant John Horsey. Later in the year John banked his own specimens of 30lb 9oz and a PB of 33lb 8oz, all fish falling to Prowla Bait and Boat rods.

Of course we don’t profess to know everything there is to know about predator fishing – it’s difficult to reinvent the wheel. But we think we’ve done a pretty good job! Just take a look at our paternoster boom development, our advances in dead bait presentation techniques, or trace making ideas and bait storage solutions, all of which mean you will put more fish safely on the bank. We shouldn’t forget to mention the development of our carefully engineered rods, which allow you to attack any fishing situation you find yourself in. From bait casting to drop shot, lure to vertical jigging, boat to bank, we have a rod to suit your needs. All of which come with our Greys Worldwide Extended Warranty.

GREYS PROWLA RODS MOST ROD COMPANIES HAVE THE ODD PREDATOR BLANK (OR TWO) TAGGED ONTO THEIR RANGES, BUT IN MANY CASES THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A TOKEN GESTURE! HERE AT GREYS WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT RODS, COVERING ALL ASPECTS AND ANGLES, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE SO HIGHLY REGARDED FOR OUR ALREADY HUGELY POPULAR SPECIMEN, GENERAL COARSE AND SEA RODS. When we decided to focus our attention on predator rods, we applied the same high intensity research and development we previously put into our established rod brands. That’s why new Prowla predator rods are very special. We researched far and wide, including on the Continent and in Ireland, looking at all the specialist requirements and refinements modern predator anglers now expect. This included general bait and boat fishing, jerkbait and drop shot demands, also vertical jigging – along with lure and spinning applications. We looked, listened, learnt and developed meticulously over a long period, which is why our new Prowla rods offer something for all serious pike, perch and zander anglers. Whether casting from the shore or fishing from a boat, there is a rod to cover every eventuality. This also applies to venues far and wide. There are rods in this extensive range that cover everything from local park lakes to vast Irish loughs and Scottish Lochs, also deep reservoirs to shallow drains.
82 )
Finally, heavy development input and extensive field-testing by top predator anglers has guaranteed lengths, test curves, reel seats, line guides, handles and the overall way these rods have been put together are all unsurpassed. Further to this they are competitively priced and come with Greys Worldwide Extended Warranty. What more can we say?
BLANKS All Prowla Platinum rod blanks are produced from blends of the very best high modulus carbon. These blends are adjusted to produce the correct performance characteristics for the intended use of the rod.
REEL SEATS Reel seats on the Prowla Platimum range vary according to the rod’s intended use. You will see that in some instances we have used Fuji reel seats and in other instances have used our own custom-designed Greys option.
HANDLES Handle lengths and profiles vary depending on use. Some models have adjustable balance handles. All handles use quality cork and have a lazer etched aluminium butt cap for protection.
KEY ROD FEATURES The exclusive Greys D-Tecta handle is a major advancement in bite detection when jigging and drop shotting. The special reel seat enables you to trap your line directly against the blank enhancing the feel you get from taking fi sh. This feature can be found on Drop Shot and Vertical Jigging models.
GUIDES All Prowla Platinum rods feature SiC braid safe guides that have been placed to minimise their effect on the rod’s action. The tip guides are rolled underslung SiC models which prevent braid from rubbing on the outer metal frame and help to avoid wrap-arounds.

The Prowla Platinum range of Lure/Spin rods enables you to pick from and choose a desired length and casting weight depending on the type of fish and fishing situation you wish to approach. All the rods are manufactured from ultra high modulus carbon providing super slim and well balanced blanks with a smooth middle to tip action. They possess excellent dampening capabilities helping you to avoid hook pulls on the strike or when playing a fish, while the braid safe under slung tip ring will prevent wrap-around and line shear during the cast. A soft touch Fuji DPS reel seat is accompanied by Fuji black hoods, with a screw down front handle allowing you to tighten and lock your reel in position with supreme confidence.

PROWLA PLATINUM DROP SHOT
PROWLA PLATINUM VERTICAL JIG
All Platinum Drop Shot rods are built on an ultra fine carbon fibre blank with a sensitive tip action to enhance the action of your lures. One of the unique and essential features is the Greys D-Tecta reel seat that lets you trap the braid against the blank, giving enhanced bite detection. This, combined with the sensitive tip, really improves the performance and maximises bite detection. The cork handle has been ergonomically designed with two 45 degree edges to allow for either a left or right forearm to sit perfectly against it. Guides are high quality SIC models, including a braid safe underslung tip guide, with carefully worked spacings that will enable the rod to fold perfectly together from tip to butt, with the two largest guides being perfectly aligned. The special keeper ring lets you clip up the drop shot lead when not fishing.
Similar in action to the Platinum 7’ Drop Shot, but has the added feature of a screw-in butt cap with removable disc weights. This allows the angler to finely tune the balance of the rod – essential when jigging from a boat, jetty or pier. The ultra-light slim blank features SIC braid safe guides with underslung braid safe tip ring, D-Tecta reel seat and ergonomically designed cork handle. It can also be used as a drop shot rod – the keeper ring allowing for attachment of either a hook or drop shot weight.
• Ultra slim lightweight and balanced blank with sensitive tip action • SIC guides with braid safe tip ring • Greys D-Tecta bespoke reel seat • Drop shot keeper ring • Ergonomically designed cork handle • Rubber cork butt protector • Sections fold in half (tip to butt) • Fluorescent painted tip whipping for enhanced bite detection • Worldwide Extended Warranty Product Length Sections Code (ft/m) Platinum Drop Shot 7’ Medium: GPDS010 7’/2.13 2 Platinum Drop Shot 7’ Heavy: GPDS020 7’/2.13 2 Platinum Drop Shot 9’: GPDS030 9’/2.74 2

PROWLA PLATINUM BAIT
PROWLA PLATINUM BOAT
Three rods in the Platinum Bait range cover all your needs when fishing live or dead naturals from the bank. They are built on super slim, powerful yet sensitive, high modulus blanks with fantastic progressive through actions. Traditional cork handles are tipped with flared Duplon butts to prevent them being pulled out of the back-rest. As with all two piece rods in the Prowla range they fold perfectly in half, tip to butt, for quick set-up and take-down saving you valuable time on the bank. If you’re looking for a lighter Zander rod, but want to be able to handle bigger predators, then the 11’ model with its 2.50lb test curve may be the rod for you.
The Platinum 10ft 6ins Boat rod has an ultra slim powerful 3.0lb test curve blank fitted with large SIC braid safe guides to cope with stop knots and heavy lines and is the perfect length for boat fishing. It can be used with either a fixed spool or multiplier reel, and is a superb all-round boat rod for drifter, trolling or dead bait fishing. Ideal on lochs, lakes, rivers, broads or reservoirs it will allow you to hook and hold big fish in deep water, yet has a fantastic through action that allows you to fish close to the boat in shallow water. It’s also flexible enough to use with big deadbaits on rivers or fen drains. The rod folds exactly in half, for easy setting up and packing away, whilst the slim cork handle with non-slip Duplon grip will sit neatly in a boat rest.
• Ultra slim lightweight carbon fibre blank • SIC guides with braid safe underslung tip ring • Sections fold perfectly in half, ring to ring, for easy set up and take down • Greys reel seat with soft touch finish • Slim cork handle • Duplon butt protector • Laser etched butt cap • Line run-clip • Hook keeper ring • Smooth tip to butt through action • Worldwide Extended Warranty Product Length Code (ft/m) Prowla Bait 11’ – 2.25lb: GPBA010 11’/3.35 Prowla Bait 12’ – 3.0lb: GPBA030 12’/3.66 Prowla Bait 13’ – 3.5lb: GPBA040 13’/3.96

PROWLA POWER JERK BAIT
PROWLA SUPA JERK BAIT
If you prefer an all-round jerk bait rod then look no further than the 6’ 6” Power Jerk which has been designed specially to transfer the action from the rod to the lure with perfection. It is perfect for fishing with medium to heavy jerk baits such as Bulldawgs, Squirrely Berts and Replicants. This rod punches out lures with ease and sets the hooks at any distance with immediate effect. It is also a very versatile rod – ideal for casting and retrieving lures from boats, but equally good for bank fishing. This is a tip action rod capable of fishing with lures up to 140g (5oz) using bait casting reels and multipliers with braid up to 100lb.
The Supa Jerk rod is ideal for bank fishing as the extra length and slightly extended butt give greater control when punching out heavier lures. Don’t dismiss this rod for boat fishing either as the 7’ length helps to keep fish away from anchor ropes, drogues and the boat engine. This super light carbon blank has a tip action that is stiff enough to give a good swimming action to jerkbaits yet is soft enough to absorb an aggressive take. The rod balances beautifully when fitted with a multiplier and will work perfectly whether you are fishing with lures, spinner baits, buck tails, crank baits, soft plastics or jerk baits.

PROWLA PLATINUM JERK BAIT Platinum Jerk Bait is a versatile range of three rods that cover a broad range of jerkbait fishing. All are built on high modulus blanks with sensitive tips to give life to your lures, without compromising on strength and possessing enough power to let you handle bigger predators. The extra SIC braid safe guides and new guide spacing keep braid away from the blank when playing a fish and improve casting performance. Platinum Jerk Light is ideal for casting lures up to 50g. It’s sensitive in the tip without compromising on strength and hook setting ability and possesses enough power to let you handle bigger predators. It will handle 20-40lb braid and is so light you will feel as if you are fishing with a wand. The Jerk Medium has a slightly longer butt that balances the rod in your hand and lets you grasp the end when punching out heavier baits. It’s best suited for casting weights up to 80g and has a braid rating of 30-50lb. The most powerful of the 6’ jerk rods in the range is the Jerk Heavy which will comfortably punch out lures up to 110g (4oz). It’s fantastic for both casting and trolling from a boat and will easily cope with 60-80lb braid.

GREYS PROWLA LUGGAGE MODERN SPECIMEN HUNTING IS ALL ABOUT OPPORTUNISM AND ORGANISATION. ANGLERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP THEIR GEAR AT THE DROP OF A HAT WHEN CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT, OR AVAILABLE TIME ALLOWS, IN ORDER TO ATTACK THEIR CHOSEN VENUE WITHOUT WASTING VALUABLE FISHING HOURS. We have designed the Prowla Luggage with this in mind, creating items that save you time on the bank, whilst ensuring that you remain perfectly prepared for each fishing situation. From our unique anti-tangle Quiver with rod dividers, to our simple yet well thought out Coolstyle Bait Bag with internal Klip-Lok® container, all items provide you with a solution to a problem. A good example being if you are forever misplacing your baiting needle… keep it inside the central storage cavity of our Prowla Trace Tube.
Serious pikers will appreciate the attention to detail found in the Greys Prowla range. Their Trace Tube and Tool Roll are both well thought out quality products... Greys are raising the bar on pike accessories with products like these which are built to last.
PROWLA SPECIMEN QUIVER The Prowla Specimen Quiver has been designed with simple, yet effective butt separators allowing you to house each made-up rod independently. The top of the quiver has larger than normal retaining straps to hold up to two and three rods respectively, allowing you to quickly remove any you wish to leave at home if venturing out for a shorter, less intensive session. This is to avoid the need for fiddling about with five individual straps during cold weather. The outer full-length zipped pocket is perfect for storing bank sticks with alarms, while the internal main compartment is more than big enough to hold landing nets, umbrellas and shelters, and also houses a pocket in case you wish to add a strengthening spine. We also recognised the need for an ambidextrous quiver with changeable left or right-handed shoulder strap, thus avoiding reel handles banging into your legs, no matter which shoulder you prefer to carry it on.
• Individual butt separators • Reinforced base and pocket floors • Removable left or right-handed shoulder strap • Large easy to use 3 and 2 rod retaining straps • Fully zipped bank stick pocket • Balanced carrying handle • Large internal compartment • Strengthening internal spine pocket Product Code GPQ010

PROWLA TERMINAL TACKLE HELPING TO BRING PIKE FISHING OUT OF THE DARK AGES WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT OUR PROWLA RANGE OF TERMINAL TACKLE, ESSENTIAL KIT FOR TODAY’S MODERN PREDATOR ANGLER. We sat down and thought hard about presenting natural baits on pressured waters, about how to improve your angling options, and subsequently developed some truly ground breaking products. This was achieved through CAD engineering and bespoke tooling, allowing you to vastly improve techniques and presentation. The end result will be more fish on the bank! From fully rotating Paternoster Booms, Dead Bait Pop Up Floats, clever quick-change sinker systems and free running fledger rigs – to well thought out trace making components and strong walled floats, the range is based on quality and performance. Also for fish welfare and angler safety we have produced a range of soft handled tools that ensure you will never be short of unhooking options.
The Prowla range of accessories is a complete set of terminal tackle for dead or livebaiting. All are made to a very high standard from the best materials.
PROWLA SUPA SIGHT DART

PROWLA TERMINALTACKLE
This Supa Sight Dart is ultra buoyant and has visibility where you need it – just above the water. It can be seen at long range even in rough and wild water. Thread your main line through the eye of the swivel, which prevents line twist if the float spins when it’s windy, and set your required fishing depth using a sliding stop knot and bead. Supa Sight Darts are available in three sizes each of which can be perfectly balanced with one of Prowla’s quick change In-Line Sinkers.

PROWLA BAIT SLIDER
PROWLA DEAD BAIT POP UP FLOAT
This Bait Slider is a perfect all-round float for live or dead bait fishing. It’s blow moulded and sonically welded to give an ultra-strong and watertight seal. Simply thread onto your main line and set the required fishing depth using a sliding stop knot. It’s available in four sizes, each of which can be perfectly balanced with one of Prowla’s quick change In-Line Sinkers.
Unlike conventional floater sticks which are made from balsa wood and need to be forced into your dead bait, Prowla Dead Bait PopUp Floats feature a threaded point enabling you to easily screw them into thawed or even semi-frozen baits, allowing you to change presentation and critically balance your dead baits. They must be attached to your trace with wire to avoid loss (see diagramme), and are available in small or medium sizes to work with baits up to 3oz and 6oz respectively. Try leaving the red eyelet sticking out of the bait to act as a visual striking point for predators.
• 15g Slider – 100mm / 24mm diameter • 20g Slider – 112mm / 24mm diameter • 30g Slider – 126mm / 29mm diameter • 40g Slider – 150mm / 34mm diameter Product Code: GPBS015 (15g) / GPBS020 (20g) / GPBS030 (30g) / GPBS040 (40g)

Product Code: GPDFS010 (Small) / GPDFS020 (Medium)
PROWLA TROLL GRIP FLOAT
PROWLA POP-UP PEARS
The Prowla Troll Grip float has been designed to allow you to fish baits in fast flowing rivers or behind a boat. The bent inner tube grips your line and prevents the float from being pushed towards the trace by the current if you hold back when ‘trotting’ a swim. This would cause your bait to be raised upwards from the set fishing depth and is undesirable. Troll Grip floats are available in four sizes, each of which can be perfectly balanced with one of Prowla’s quick change In-Line Sinkers.
Prowla Pop-Up Pears are perfect for lifting, or critically balancing your baits, and act as a visual striking point to a predator. The eye of the stem should be attached to a length of Prowla 7 Strand Wire and pulled through your fish dead bait using a baiting needle, so that the foam pear sits in the bait’s mouth. Attach the opposite end of the wire to a Prowla T-Snap Swivel at the end of your main line to avoid loss when playing a fish. Available in large or medium sizes with 5 pears, 5 stems and 5 sleeves per box.
• 15g – 92mm / 24mm diameter • 20g – 104mm / 24mm diameter • 30g – 122mm / 28mm diameter • 40g – 142mm / 33mm diameter

360º ROTARY PATERNOSTER BOOM
ANTI-TANGLE TUBE SINKERS
The Prowla 360° Rotary Paternoster Boom is simply a revolution in predator fishing! It allows you to fish natural baits and minimise those annoying tangles that so often occur when fishing paternoster rigs. Remove the packaging and pull the 100lb test uptrace mono through the vertical boom so the bottom swivel sits inside the rubber sleeve. Attach a weak nylon lead link to this swivel and your main line to the top after threading on your float. Used with a Prowla Suspenda Sub Float fixed to the top swivel of the uptrace mono, the rig can be fished at any depth by adjusting the length of the weak nylon lead link. Alternatively it can be used with a standard style Prowla Bait Slider. Attach a Prowla Supa Paternoster trace to the boom arm swivel, which is moulded inside and along the full length of the arm and around the 360 rotary head for extra sure fish-safe security.
Prowla Anti-Tangle Tube Sinkers can be fished with a float rig or on a straight leger. Simply thread your main line through the tube, tie on your trace and pull the trace swivel into the rubber tube. This gives a semi-fixed weight and helps to prevent overwraps and tangles when fishing in deep water. The tube sinker offers a quick-change ability, working in exactly the same manner as Prowla Quick Change In-Line Sinkers. Simply pop open the weight stem, slide the lead off your line, replace with the desired size, and click the stem parts back together.

Simply attach a lead onto the stem and then thread your main line through the plastic ring at the top of the Fledger. Thread your line through the boom, tie on a Prowla Supa Snap Tackle trace, and pull the trace swivel into the boom’s rubber tube. This rig can be used in still or running water, with live or dead baits, and is perfect for targeting cautious or pressured fish.
• Free-run, anti-tangle, weed free system • EVA foam and carbon float-ledger stem • Insert moulded T-Snap swivel • Free-run large diameter Fledger swivel • Weighted boom with push-fit trace tube Product Code: GPFB010

SUPA PATERNOSTER TRACE
IN-LINE SINKERS
This Prowla Supa Paternoster Trace is made up using high quality round bend Prowla Carbon Trebles mounted on 7 strand 30lb stainless steel wire. The top crimp cover slides onto a safety cross-lok link, which allows the trace greater movement and massively improves bait presentation, especially when fished in conjunction with a Prowla 360 Rotary Paternoster Boom.
These in-line sinkers allow you to swap weights without the need for breaking your line. There are four different weight sets available, to balance all Prowla floats, each coming fitted with easy release quick-change stems. Also included are soft rubber adaptors allowing you to push the sinker onto a swivel giving a semi-fixed presentation. Snap off the euro slot tab on top of the box and store the boxed sinkers in your tackle box or bag, keeping your kit neat and tidy.

SUPA SNAP TACKLE
FLAVOUR & POP-UP KIT
Prowla Supa Snap Tackle is made up using high quality round bend Prowla Carbon Trebles mounted on 7 strand 30lb stainless steel wire. The top Prowla crimp cover has a triple stepped internal bore, designed to slide over the barrel of a round/diamond eye swivel creating a miniboom effect. This massively aids presentation, minimises tangles, and prevents weed and debris from attaching itself to the trace. The bottom crimp cover sits on the eye of the hook allowing movement to aid hooking. A Prowla treble sleeve is used on the top hook to keep everything neat and tidy, and the bait flags act as a visual strike target for big predators, whilst indicating which points are barbed and should be removed first during unhooking. Supa Snap Tackle is available in various sizes and is perfect for live or dead bait fishing.
The Prowla Flavour & Pop-Up Kit includes 2 x syringes and 2 x needles to allow you to inject oils and flavourings into your baits, thus providing a huge advantage for today’s modern specimen techniques. Try injecting air to pop up or critically balance your dead baits, or alternatively use Prowla Pop-up Pears or a Prowla Dead Bait Pop-Up Float. Product Code: GPAK010

The Prowla range of terminal tackle is an essential part of kit for today’s modern predator angler.
TRACE 7 STRAND WIRE
BAIT FLAGS
This trace wire is made up of 7 individual strands of stainless steel. Gravel brown in colour and available in a low diameter 30lb breaking strain, the wire is easily twisted or crimped when making your own traces. It is extremely durable and copes perfectly with all aspects of predator fishing. The unique Greys wire dispenser allows you to wind any surplus back on to the spool leaving the end protruding ready for next use.
Prowla Bait Flags come in small or large sizes at 22mm & 35mm with 30 flags per box. They are moulded from soft and supple TPU rubber so as not to impede hooking potential. The flag should be mounted on the barbed point of a treble and slid down onto the bend. Bait flags are used primarily to give a visual striking point to a predator, but also to enable you to see which hook point is barbed – this should be the first removed when unhooking your fish. They can also be used to hold bait in place by using two flags, the second being slid onto the barbed point after the bait has been mounted.

TRACE 49 STRAND WIRE
LEAD CLIPS AND BEADS
This trace wire is made up of 49 individual strands of stainless steel. It is extremely soft and supple and can only be crimped, not twisted or tied. It comes in a neutral gravel brown colour, ideal for blending in with underwater environments, and has a very low diameter. Available in 30lb breaking strain, this is the ultimate wire for bait fishing for big predators as it massively aids presentation. The unique Greys wire dispenser allows you to wind any surplus back on to the spool leaving the end protruding ready for next use.
Prowla Lead Clips and Beads offer the angler the option to quickly change leads whilst fishing. The rust resistant metal clip is made from anodised stainless steel and is insert-moulded into a logo embossed run-ring, which will not perish against the abrasion of braided lines. The large diameter provides zero resistance, essential when targeting specimen fish, and the black plastic bead acts as a buffer when sitting against a swivel or stop knot. It can easily cast up to 8oz of lead and is ideal for all forms of fishing.

GREYS CARP FISHING HELLO AND A VERY WARM WELCOME ONCE AGAIN TO THE GREYS CARP CATALOGUE FOR 2010. FIRSTLY WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR VALUED SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Greys continues to go from strength to strength and this season we have again launched several new products which have caused quite a stir within the Carp world. We always look forward to designing and developing new and innovative products and this year has been particularly exciting for us with the launch of the Torsion Bivvy and Rods. The Torsion is our latest top end brand that has enabled us to push manufacturing and design to the limit. The Torsion Bivvy, with its totally unique Spider Wynda mechanism, met with much acclaim taking the Carp market by storm and has already won awards within the industry taking the best new bivvy award at Efftex 2009, which is no mean feat in a very competitive and expanding market.
112 )
To match the Torsion Bivvy we have also developed the Torsion rods which are built on the lightest, slimmest blanks we have produced to date. Casting distances have been phenomenal with this rod while still retaining the lovely fish playing actions for which Greys have become famous. Advanced technology and manufacture, plus the ability to utilise the latest materials have enabled us to keep ahead of the game in rod design. We are extremely proud and passionate of our achievements and products and also of our own fishing which gives us the opportunity to test each and every product to its limit before release onto the market. We hope that our products will enable you to thoroughly enjoy your fishing too. LEE COLLINGS, KEVIN BENHAM AND JAMES TEMPLE CARP PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM

CHOOSING YOUR CARP ROD
GREYS CARP RODS SPECIMEN CARP FISHING IS A PASTIME THAT CAN OFTEN TRANSFORM INTO AN OBSESSION. HERE AT GREYS WE COULD BE ACCUSED OF BEING OBSESSIVE ABOUT DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING SOME OF THE FINEST CARP RODS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. However it’s been a long road and we are certainly very proud of having over 40 years experience in producing performance fishing rods that have pushed the boundaries in both materials and manufacturing science. HAC (Hardy Advanced Composites) is the research and development division of Hardy & Greys Ltd. Amongst other things, they design and manufacture high performance composite tubes used for various military and aerospace applications. This composites expertise is combined with some of the most advanced rod simulation and testing facilities, many developed in house, which allow us to finely tune the performance of our rods. Combine this knowledge with some of the most respected and forward thinking anglers in the country and the results speak for themselves. The Torsion carp rod uses a number of unique materials and construction techniques that have helped to produce our most advanced carp rod to date. Over the last 12 months it has been winning acclaim all over Europe with anglers that need unparalleled performance from their rods.
The X-Flite Plus and Prodigy Plus rods are amongst the best multi-range carp rods on the market and have a proven reputation with literally thousands of carp anglers across Europe. We’ve now completed the ranges with the addition of 12’ 3.25lb rods; a popular test curve with anglers that require one set of carp rods to cover all their fishing both home and abroad. We’ve also fitted out the awesome Prodigy Plus blank with a slim quality cork handle that gives the rod a classy look and feel, available in 2.75 and 3.0lb versions. These rods are sure to be popular with anglers who prefer a traditional styling. The Prodigy SX has a 13’ 3.5lb range addition to cater for anglers that require a powerful rod for PVA bags and distance casting. Finally, don’t forget to keep an eye on our website www.greysfishing.com which is regularly updated and is sure to feature some exciting new products throughout 2010. You can also use the website to register you rod warranty and contact us with any of your views, questions or even send us your latest capture pictures. JAMES TEMPLE CARP PODUCT MANAGER

WHAT CAN IT CAST? With so many different lengths and test curves available, choosing a carp rod can be a real minefield. To make things easier for you, we’ve provided a few guidelines that should help you make the correct choice. During recent years there has been a trend towards more powerful test curves. This probably reflects the fact that carp are getting bigger! This, coupled with the introduction of PVA bags and Method feeders, means that some anglers require that extra ‘punch’ from their carp rods. This is due to the Method feeder and bag’s less than aero-dynamic shapes. While you read this, please remember these are only guidelines and that length and test curve choice will always remain a personal one. Both feel and comfort will play a big part – what suits one angler will not always be right for another. For example, some of the more extreme rod lengths and test curves require a good casting technique, to compress the blank and release its full potential. With this in mind, some anglers prefer lower test curves to gain maximum feel during the fight. Whatever model, length or test curve, you can be sure that it’s been tried and tested by our scientists, design engineers, and our Greys Carp Academy members. That is why it carries the Greys name and the Greys Worldwide Extended Warranty. 2.5lb This test curve is ideal for fishing short to medium range. When fishing at close range a softer 2.5lb rod will absorb the lunges of a fighting fish. This also means excellent casting accuracy, especially with short-range baits. Don’t be deceived though, all our 2.5lb test curve carp rods have good reserves of power in the butt section, should it be needed. While this test curve lends itself superbly for playing fish, it’s not ideal for casting out large Method feeders, or PVA bags. This is because the rod can easily be bottomed out (over stretched) under these high compression loads. As well as being a great medium-range fishing rod, this test curve is a popular choice for surface fishing. 2.75lb A very popular test curve that’s able to cope with a multitude of situations. Ideal for fishing either single leads, or small Method feeders and PVA bags. In the right hands these rods are still capable of 100 yards plus, yet are also great fish players close into the bank.
You can do all this without the fear of a high hook pull rate. A 2.75lb carp rod is a truly versatile tool, but particularly well suited to medium to long-range fishing. 3lb Out of all our test curves, this is now the most popular in our range. Excellent reserves of power make fishing at range no problem, whether it’s single leads or a PVA bag. Don’t be shy about really winding these rods up to get into the butt section to release the power. Like the 2.75lb, our 3lb test curves are particularly well suited to medium-long fishing but with a touch more power for punching out baits, or setting the hook at range should the need arise. In the right hands, and with the correct setup, distances of over 130 yards can easily be achieved. 3.25lb By popular demand we have now developed a 3.25lb test curve which is well suited to long range work or when conditions require the use of big PVA bags and sticks. This highly versatile addition to the range is sure to find its fans and is often a popular choice for anglers looking for one set of rods to cover both UK and European fishing demands. 3.5lb This test curve is ideal for the angler who wants to fish big baits and bags, at the limits of their casting ability. When using higher test curves like this, slightly more care will need to be taken while playing fish under the rod tip. With the correct casting styles and good compression, distances of 150 yards+ can be achieved. During testing we have seen recorded distances of well in excess of 200 yards using some of the 13ft Greys models. The extra power of these rods will be well appreciated by anglers looking to set hooks well at range.
SHOCK LEADER GUIDE
As a guide always use the 10x safety rule for your shock leaders, so for example, for a 3oz lead use a 30lb shock leader, 4oz lead 40lb shock leader etc. This will result in fewer crack-offs when striving for that extra distance.

TORSION The Torsion carp rod is at the very pinnacle of current composites technology and is the slimmest, lightest blank in the Greys carp rod range. Take one look at the Torsion and you’ll immediately notice that it is strikingly slim; pick the rod up it’s amazingly light and well balanced. Cast the rod and it becomes apparent that the rod has massive reserves of power, is more than happy with big leads and PVA bags yet surprisingly still has that all important feel under the rod tip during the crucial last moments of the fight. Gone are the days of super slim blanks that just don’t perform; this time Greys have really pushed the limits of physics. For those anglers really wanting to hit the horizon there is a 50mm butt available on models 3lb and higher. In summary the new Greys Torsion is quite simply the slimmest, lightest and best performance carp rod that we have ever produced. That’s some statement when we’ve been producing rods for over 40 years!

PRODIGY SX The Prodigy name has become synonymous with both value and performance and the new Prodigy SX carp is no exception. Don’t be fooled by the price, the new Prodigy SX is slim, lightweight and well balanced but just as importantly has great reserves of power for punching leads or PVA bags out to the horizon. With all these increases in performance you would expect something to give, but the SX is actually even lighter than the original Prodigy rod! The new SX really does set new standards in carp rod design and is set to become a firm favourite with many carp anglers for years to come.

For their successors we’ve taken nothing away but improved the composites materials where needed; to ensure that these new rods outperform anything on the market. The new Greys Spod Plus rods build upon their predecessor’s impressive reputation. We have enhanced the blank construction to allow for a smoother progression of power through the rod whilst retaining a lightning fast tip recovery speed for accurate spodding. Improvements to rod balance and blank torque help to optimise casting performance no matter what size of spod you are using. The standard 12’ Greys Spod Plus is the perfect tool for baiting up at ranges up to 100yds. You will find the blank is easy to compress with a wide range of spods; propelling them out with the minimum of effort. If you find yourself regularly fishing in excess of 100yds or ultimate distance is required; the 12’6” Distance Spod Plus is the rod you require. Now fitted out with distance 50mm ringing pattern to a 16mm tip, long range casting and big spods are what this rod is all about. Product Code Spod: GSP160 Distance Spod: GSP165

MARKER PLUS
STALKER
In the modern carping age a marker rod is now an essential piece of kit. Using a marker rod will help give you a better understanding of the lake bed and enable you to find features such as depressions, gravel bars, weed beds and silt gulleys.
At this price, these are rods you just can't afford to do without. The seven footer is the tough nut, the jungle stick, the bully-boy for close-quarter big fish hunting. Total stopping power but without the stiffness that results in pulled hooks. The standard 9ft version is infinitely adaptable. A brilliant close quarter snag rod. Superb close in surface work. A spinning rod. A touch-ledgering rod. A big fish world favourite. To complete the Stalkers we now have a 9 to 12 footer – a nine foot rod with a three-foot extension that gives you the flexibility of a twelve-foot rod when it's needed, perhaps to poke a bait out over some troublesome weeds or snags.
The standard 12ft Marker Plus is able to cope with leads up to 4oz and is the perfect multi range rod for all but the most extreme distance marker work. The rod guides have been upgraded to our G-Lite™ Ultralite SIC guides with a standard 40mm butt to a 12mm low profile tip. The 12’6” Distance Marker Plus is a rod built for all long range marker work when needed. Leads up to 5oz get the most out of this blank and it is now fitted out with G-Lite™ Ultralite SIC guides and distance 50mm ringing pattern and 16mm low profile tip.

X-FLITE+ LANDING NET We believe that the X-FliteTM+ landing net is one of the best landing nets available. Featuring our patented Max LockTM spreader block, this ingenious design makes both assembly and breaking down the net easier than ever before. Once the fish has been netted the Max LockTM can be simply swung into the closed position and allow the arms to be separated from the rest of the net. Incredibly strong yet lightweight, the Max LockTM is moulded from a hi-tech carbon composite plastic which will never corrode or become damaged by UV light. A slot is also included for a small isotope to aid fish netting at night. The 6ft long carbon pole makes the X-FliteTM+ net both the slimmest and lightest we have ever produced. Using such a high grade of carbon not only results in the net being lightweight but also incredibly stiff, making it very easy to push through the water. Little touches like the carbon composite mesh retention clip and a generous covering of non-slip Japanese shrink-wrap, make the net both practical and functional. The X-Flite+TM landing net is cosmetically matched perfectly to the X-FliteTM+ rods – gloss Jet-Black arms, with red anodised collars and a Greys laser etched butt cap. Supplied with a super soft black mesh as standard, but for those who prefer a green mesh these can be purchased separately.

PRODIGY LANDING NET There are three different sizes to choose from in the Prodigy Net range. The 36in net lends itself perfectly to the specialist/specimen angler and is perfect for stalking. When you pick up the 36in net, the first thing that strikes you is how light and study the net is. The 42in model is strong, light and robust making it the perfect choice for UK carp anglers. The 6ft carbon pole is lightweight and has a moveable mesh clip that can be adjusted to suit your preference. The 50in version is a truly huge net designed with a specific purpose in mind. It is particularly well suited to the continental or big specimen hunter. The extra long arms make light work of the problems often associated with netting long fish such as pike, catfish and continental carp. An upgraded clipping up ring is used to keep the deep mesh close to the pole when netting.

TORSION BIVVY The Greys Torsion Spyda Wynda System offers the ultimate in flexibility, stability and protection. The patented Spyda Wynda mechanism is at the heart of a new bivvy concept that aims to offer the dedicated carp angler something that can only be described as the ultimate bivvy. The bivvy also features an extended draft skirt that is particularly useful on uneven ground or when you need to go ultra lightweight and use the bivvy without the groundsheet. The Torsion Spyda Wynda system is simplicity itself to erect and the operation can be completed in under a minute. See how easy the Spyda Wynda is to set up at www.greysfishing.com. Once erect the bivvy is completely free standing and self supporting, all that is needed for extra rigidity is the addition of the door tension bar (included). Due to its design the bivvy can also be adjusted for height and width to suit changing weather conditions.
• Revolutionary patented Spyda Wynda quick erection system • Manufactured from Climatex high performance breathable fabric • Storm Peak for extra protection • Adaptable height and width to suit changing weather conditions • Three different front panels included • Lightweight aero grade aluminium poles • Heavy duty groundsheet and T-Pegs • Extra wide draft skirt for uneven ground • Completely free standing design ®

TORSION EXTREME CANOPY The ultimate bivvy now has the ultimate overwrap. The Greys Torsion Extreme Canopy has been designed with versatility in mind. When used in its complete configuration the canopy extends over the front peak of the bivvy to provide a porch area for storing wet gear. Alternatively you can unzip the front panel of your bivvy and use the porch infill groundsheet (provided) to increase the internal space which is extremely useful during longer sessions. The front infill panel has also been designed to include Velcro detachable clear side windows. This allows you to select either; all mozzi front windows for use in hot summer weather or all clear windows which are particularly useful in wet weather when you still need maximum visibility. For those who want to travel light, the front infill panel and groundsheet can be removed to reveal a lightweight ‘cap’ style overwrap that offers twin skin protection for the main body of the bivvy.

GREYS SEA FISHING AT GREYS WE HAVE PRODUCED OUR CURRENT RANGE OF SPECIALIST SEA RODS, REELS AND ACCESSORIES TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MODERN DAY THINKING SEA ANGLER. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING THE FISHING AND THE WAY IN WHICH WE FISH AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE WAY WE NOW PRODUCE OUR RODS. Our rods have been designed and developed after many years of practical testing both by ourselves, our consultants and many successful well known sea anglers. Apart from their thorough UK testing they have also been successfully tested on some extremely hard fighting game fish in many different parts of the world and have landed some notable sports fish. These rods incorporate the very best blanks, fittings and materials which are exclusive to Greys and are built into superb rods with just the right actions for the type of fishing they are specifically designed for. It is good to see our fishing steadily improving around the coast each year and to hear of your catches. If you have not purchased or used one of our sea rods before then give them a try, we can guarantee that you will not be disappointed because we know that you cannot buy better designed or better made modern sea rods then our current range.
136 )
To complement our rods we now have the G-Mag reel which is a masterpiece of specialist saltwater innovation, designed for beach and light boat use. This reel has quickly found favour and recognition amongst the most hardened of sea anglers who demand the best when things get tough. We also manufacture a comprehensive and innovative range of extremely well tied rigs; these are expertly tied to the exacting standards and designs of our consultants. There is a full range which covers both beach and boat fishing and all have been thoroughly tried and tested so you can use them with total confidence as they really do work. Sea fishing is on the up so its time to get out there and get amongst them. Fish with Greys the best of British innovation.

GREYS SEA RODS GREYS BEACH RODS HAVE BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH TODAY’S MODERN SEA ANGLER. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY, COUPLED WITH HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS AND COSMETICS, ENSURE THAT GREYS RODS ARE TOP OF THE RANGE. Selecting the correct rod to suit your fishing is vitally important. To simplify the process and to help you make the right choice we have categorised our rods into the following actions:
• Fast Action • Power Mid Action • Progressive Action The following brief descriptions are a quick guide and an invaluable aid to outlining the make-up, character and specification of the rods that Greys now produce.
ROD ACTIONS FAST ACTION
POWER MID ACTION The all-rounder. Designed for the angler who likes to have more control and accuracy when long range casting, yet still maintain a sensitive tip action for fishing and bite detection. Ideal for the caster who likes a rod that has quick tip speed and recovery. Perfect for all styles of casting.
PROGRESSIVE ACTION This type of rod action does not require such a specialist style of casting. These rods are easier to cast and have a greater parabolic curve making playing fish a more pleasant experience. They will also perform well when using softer baits.
Fast action rods are best suited for extreme or long range casting. Optimum performance requires a good casting technique, such as off the ground or pendulum casting. Once these techniques are mastered phenomenal distances can be achieved with these very powerful rods.

PLATINUM XS An absolute top-of-the-range shore fishing rod. The Platinum XS is designed to work equally well over all kinds of terrain, especially mixed to rough ground. This is a fantastically well-balanced and lightweight rod. We have poured every single ounce of modern rod technology we have at our fingertips into this shore fishing weapon. This ultra-modern 14ft rod feels and handles with a degree of ease more commonly found in a 13ft rod. The advantage of extra length here is extra leverage with ease of casting, with all kinds of baits. A powerful through action suits all kinds of casting styles, from the good old overhead thump to a full-blooded pendulum. This rod works equally well with the reel in the low or high position. We wanted to give the angler the ultimate choice and flexibility, and we believe we have. Product Code GRPXS14

PLATINUM GSi
NITRA
The Platinum GSI has been designed without compromise and is ideal for the angler looking to achieve ultimate casting distances. The GSI has a fast action with increased power in the butt that builds progressively up through the tip section. This action is adaptable for all kinds of casting styles, but especially so for the more advanced caster. And, very importantly, the rod works efficiently with the reel high or low on the butt. The GSI utilises all of our latest carbon technologies, producing a high performance and extremely lightweight rod at only 891 grams. It is also fantastically well balanced and handles as you would expect a 13ft rod to. The extra length provides increased leverage for ease of casting with all kinds of baits. The Platinum GSi adds another dimension to effectively landing fish in the toughest fishing conditions.
A powerful beach caster specifically brought on to the UK market for those anglers who thrive on fishing into and over the rough stuff. That said, it has enough sensitivity and subtlety to cope equally well when the terrain becomes less savage. The Nitra is very light, with a remarkably slim blank profile, and a powerful tip that refuses to buckle under the pressure of fast tides and evil seas. However, you will get all the bite detection you are ever going to need.
• Ultra lightweight high performance blank • High power to weight ratio • Fuji BMNAG Alconite guides • Sure Grips for easy taking apart • Hi-vis quick recovery tip Product Code G00064

SEA RODS TRIPLEX After careful research and development we found that there can be real fishing benefits from using a longer rod in plenty of shore fishing situations. Most anglers are never going to be champion pendulum casters, but why should they not be able to easily reach the fish when a bit of extra distance is required? A longer than average rod with a smooth power progression adds yards to your cast, for no big increase in effort. We love fishing with these easy to use rods. Any kind of casting style used over clean to mixed ground is going to work perfectly with this range of continental-style shore rods.

IMPULSE
PZ MATCH
The Impulse has an extremely slim profile, but make no mistake, it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It’s powerful but very user-friendly, ideally suited as a long-range clean to mixed ground beachcaster. It works on the principles of smooth and progressive casting styles and offers great bite detection. Putting soft baits and multi-hook rigs ‘over the horizon’ we know calls for a subtle mix of extreme power.
We believe this to be the ultimate rod for the competitive match scene. This is where the value of a rod to an angler is measured in its ability to offer a combination of great bait presentation and incredible bite detection, for a multitude of often smaller species. We wanted increased sensitivity transmitted right back to the angler, and the ability to put baits and multi hook rigs as far as is needed.
You need a tip that will not obliterate your baits, plus a reserve of power that can be utilised with competent modern casting styles. We want you to see and feel every single twitch from any size fish you might attract. We also want you to feel an absolute level of confidence in firstly reaching them, and secondly, in successfully landing them. Long-range fishing is a complex mix of feel, power and raw instinct. The Impulse offers the lot.
We wanted this to work easily with pendulum casting and other casting styles. The match angler has very specific requirements and we spent ages designing this rod in real world fishing situations. It was not until we were completely happy we had a rod that would compete in an ultra competitive match fishing scene that we put the PZ Match into the marketplace. Have no doubt, this is one seriously accomplished match fishing rod, which is finding its way into many holdalls up and down the country.

SUPRO When designing this rod, we were working on the principal that whilst many anglers thrive on fishing mixed to rough ground marks with leads less than 6oz, the perception tends to be that to do so effectively one has to have some kind of scaffold-pole kind of rod. This 13ft easy casting bit of kit is here to explode those myths forever; a versatile, lightweight, modern marvel of beachcasting technology, designed to work at its peak when fishing tricky locations. A powerful but forgiving through action to the blank means plenty of easy casting for anglers of all abilities. Product Code GRSUP13

APOLLO MK3
SYNTRA
A shore rod with a classic heritage, we have taken the Apollo further still. Using the knowledge we have gleaned from building successive generations of Apollo rods, we now present the Mk3 13ft and 14ft. The new Apollo rods have a slimmer parallel butt section and will feel a little crisper in use than their predecessors and give greater lead control during the cast. These rods have been extensively tested in all kinds of conditions (some would call this ‘rod testing’ another excuse for indulging in our passion) and we firmly believe we have now created what could be called the ultimate rough ground tools. Rods that can be used almost anywhere, but with serious guts to wrench fish through weed infested rocks. Go to the Apollo when fishing gets tough. Reel grip is assured by secure use of our patented Slide-Lock reel seat over our comfortable ‘Sure-Grip’ shrink tube.
Any angler who finds themselves fishing clean to mixed ground is going to find that this 13’ 6” hi-tech length of carefully designed carbon fibre suits them down to the ground. The Syntra is suitable for the competitive match angler to the dedicated specimen hunter, and for everyone in between. If you fish the terrains that this rod was built for, then look no further. While most casting styles will easily get sufficient power from this blank, a smooth build up of power is going to get the best from it. Due to its careful design it is light enough to hold all day. It also benefits from a progressively smooth tip section that works with all kinds of baits. We reckon this rod is perfect for the all-round angler.

SEA RODS TRIAD Our brief was to design a modern, ‘go anywhere’ three-piece beach caster that worked and performed as flawlessly as a true two-piece. We can guarantee that our three-piece Triad will fit in every single car on the road today (weird kit cars excepted of course!). No longer do sea anglers have to jealously look at our fly fishing cousins and their ease of travelling with multi piece rods. The joy of international fishing travel with sub-5ft rod tubes is something you simply have to experience (we even include an airline friendly tube with the rod). This 13ft beachcaster casts like a bullet, indeed we defy anybody in a blind test to have any inkling that the Triad is a three piece. A first generation, modern-style, seriously grown-up traveling beach caster that you can use as effectively for UK shore fishing as you can in a multitude of more exotic locations.

It was not that long ago that a £120 beach rod would buy the keen angler something better used for growing your runner beans! Technological advances in materials and design capabilities have now allowed us to offer you a superbly engineered and designed shore rod for an amazing price.

This rod is crammed with modern technology and rod design expertise.

A rod that perfectly suits the learner who strives to catch more and better fish from our varied coastline, as well as a more experienced angler who can really wind a rod up. By rights, a beach caster like this should not be able to cope so comfortably with so many fishing applications, but our investment and research into ultra-modern rod building technologies is changing the perception of UK shore rods. That all-important first waggle is going to live with you for a long time. Put this cost effective rod through its paces and we are confident that your shore fishing will never be quite the same again.

PLATINUM BASS
There are a multitude of situations that the more traditional 5-6oz beachcaster is not ideally suited to. With this in mind we set about designing a couple of lighter style shore rods for these applications. Whether you are after a scratching rod for winkling out all manner of species, chasing fat winter flounder, or standing in a tumbling surf, waiting for a bass to come along, we reckon these two rods are perfect for you. We worked hard designing and testing these rods in real-life situations and in our opinion we have made supremely usable shore rods, that can put a bait where you want it. They can protect all manner of baits, show any kind of bite and, most importantly, bend into a fighting fish correctly. This is due to the responsive tip and progressive mid section, another Greys technological advantage. Whether fun fishing, competitive fishing, scratching or deadly serious bass fishing, you can use these rods with absolute confidence.
The deceptively light and sensitive Platinum Bass rod has great reserves of power in the butt.

SEA RODS SEA SPIN We worked on this rod to suit all kinds of shore lure fishing. From jigging small spinners right beneath your feet, through to fishing soft plastics hard to the bottom at range, this rod can do it all with ease. The secret to landing hard-fighting fish is to gain an upper hand as fast as you can and the Sea Spin has stacks of power, carefully blended with a responsive tip. A fast-taper and lightweight blank allows efficient, accurate casting in all situations. We even made the rod in three sections for ease of transportation, both over the rocks and in the sky. When the going gets tough in rough weather, big lure fishing for hard-scrapping fish from bass to barracuda, this rod takes it all in its stride. We have also put this rod through its paces as a light bait fishing rod, and it came through with flying colours. A truly versatile rod, for all occasions. Product Code GSS010

G-SERIES BOAT
EXCURSION BOAT
The new G-Series boat rods are designed to offer serious performance at an affordable price. With plenty of power in the butt and a sensitive tip for good registration, the four rods in the range will cover all boat fishing applications. They are 2-piece rods which break down at a jointed reel seat, making them easy to store. It also increases strength and gives the rod a crisp action. A screw down graphite reel seat and durable double leg guides mean that this rod is built to last.
There is no getting away from the fact that the world of fishing is becoming a smaller place year by year. With more and more people deciding to travel for their fishing, at home and abroad, modern, multi-piece rods are essential bits of kit. But the secret is to design multi-section rods that not only are great for travelling, but still deal perfectly with the fishing we do at home. We would like to present the Excursion range of multi-section boat rods. We wanted the ease of use and we demanded the ease of transportation. The Excursion range has been specifically developed to cover virtually all UK boat fishing situations. It does this and also lends itself to most overseas applications. What better rod could there be for never knowingly going under-equipped again?

CLOTHING WADING BREATHABLE CHESTWADERS HAVE REVOLUTIONISED THE WAY WE FISH. AND THEY HAVE MADE THE DAYS OF RUBBER A DISTANT NIGHTMARE. RUBBER ‘CHESTIES’ WERE SO DEBILITATINGLY HOT IN SUMMER TO WALK MORE THAN A FEW YARDS WAS TORTURE. They were freezing cold in winter. They were prone to leaks, they were unhygienic and now they can be a distant memory. Breathables are as light and as comfortable to wear as a pair of normal trousers. You barely notice that you’re wearing them and it’s this freedom and comfort that can bring so much flexibility to the ways you approach your fishing. It’s traditional to link chestwaders with fly fishing when you often need to get out into the current to present your fly to its ultimate advantage. But, in reality, chestwaders are vital kit for any fisherman fly, lure, bait or sea. If you’re long trotting, getting out into the flow makes the mending of the line so much easier. If you’re touch legering, getting directly upstream of the bait gives you a far better angle, far more positive bite indication.
If you’re lure fishing for pike, then wading the gravels allows you to cast into the reedfringed bay or the far side of the lily pads. If you’re bass fishing in the surf, how can you possibly restrict yourself to the beach? Even if you find yourself on the bank, chestwaders are invaluable in foul weather. Put on a good waterproof jacket, hood and chestwaders and you are untouchable, impervious to the storms. If it’s cold, simply put on good base layers and you will be snug, warm and dry and concentrating wholly on your sport.
APOLLO NEOPRENE WADERS Tough 4.5mm neoprene chest waders with sturdy tungsten-studded soles for excellent grip and durability. Reinforced knee pads, hand warmer pockets and easily adjustable Velcro straps. The ultimate neoprene wader, built to meet the most demanding of conditions. Product Code: GBW[+ Size] Sizes (UK): 07 / 08 / 09 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13
But there are rules. Don’t wade in cloudy water. Don’t go out beyond your safety zone. Lifejackets and wading sticks are invaluable safety items. Wade in company, with a whistle if you’re going to be separated. Wading revolutionizes your fishing... providing you show common sense. Chestwaders are a significant investment in your fishing. Hang them out to dry and air after every fishing expedition. Following the instructions, wash them regularly to get rid of potentially damaging grit and dirt. Mend any leaks, however small, as soon as possible. Avoid really sharp thorns and brambles and take care around barbed-wire.
