Key Specifications

Where to Use the Aero X7 Distance 12ft 6in

The 12ft 6in Distance model is a specialized performer designed for large still waters and mid-to-large rivers.3

• Natural Still Waters & Reservoirs: This rod is perfect for fishing at ranges of 70m to 90m. The 110g rating allows you to use heavy bullet or window feeders to keep your baiting tight even when the wind is gusting across the water.

• Large River Breaming: Ideal for rivers like the Thames or the Lower Severn. The extra length and power help you hold a heavy cage feeder in the flow while the sensitive carbon tips indicate the softest of bream drop-backs.

• Big-Water Method Feeder: On large-scale commercials where Carp patrol well beyond the range of standard 11ft or 12ft rods. It has the backbone to launch large Method feeders and the strength in the lower section to stop double-figure fish in their tracks.

Gerrys Pro Tip: The 12ft 6in length is often preferred over the 13ft 6in version by match anglers who want a faster-action rod for more frequent casting. It strikes an incredible balance between casting distance and the finesse feel required to stay in touch with the fish during the fight.
