At the very top of its class for power while being one of the lightest on the market, the LH9012 demonstrates that you can comfortably cast a 12-weight line without needing Popeye's forearms. A superb caster, it maintains its composure to send even a 500-grain ultra-sinking line to the backing. Streamlined shooting heads for large flies don't faze it, even when you really need to put some force into the cast. When fighting a fish, the blank demonstrates the expected strength of a 12-weight: the butt section has more than enough power to confidently engage in the fight of a heavyweight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsage Recommendations: The core purpose of this blank is undoubtedly big game fishing, in its two main variations: large tarpon in exotic waters, and bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean and Southwest France, up to around 40 kg. It's also a serious option for GT fishing. It's also, of course, a blank capable of handling large catfish, provided you can fight them without using bends that exceed the capabilities of carbon fiber.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighthouse Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA series of blanks designed by and for Europeans, each model precisely corresponding to the techniques practiced in French waters and beyond, from Scandinavia to Spain.
