As fishing has evolved, there are certain things that never go out of style. If something is simply good, it doesn't need many changes. This is the case with the L&K rods, which, after minimal updates, have been dressed in Wizard attire.

An old favorite in a new guise

It's no secret that one of the most outstanding and legendary series is the Spin Blade. This is no coincidence, as a rod created by Béla Lukácsi is truly timeless. However, it has now been brought under Energofish's leading spinning brand, Wizard.

Of course, the fundamentals have remained the same, but visually, we can now hold a completely new rod. The first thing that catches the eye is the design. This is no coincidence, as the series now features the design elements of the Wizard brand. However, these elements are not too intrusive, since the primary goal was to preserve the legendary characteristics of the series. The Spin Blade is available in the familiar size range, 240 and 270 centimeters long. It comes in casting weights of 10-30, 30-80, and the strongest, 80-150 grams. The rod's joint also played a role in making it such an excellent series, as the spigot joint allows the rod to retain the advantages of one-piece rods, so this feature has remained unchanged. The guide set has been subtly updated, with the tried-and-true sizes and spacing retained.

From now on, we can choose from numerous rods on the Wizard palette.

The new blade features elegant, understated colors.

Of course, the joint remains the familiar spigot type, as this ensures a perfect transition between the lower and upper sections.

The rod tips also remain the latest, well-proven lamellar version.

The next revamped rod is the Perch Blade, and if I highlighted the spigot joint in the previous ones, here I must emphasize the quiver tip. This feature has made it a favorite among many anglers. The extremely sensitive tip allows the usage of very small baits, but if needed, the rod's backbone is there, radiating calmness without being overly aggressive. It's truly possible to catch the biggest predators with tiny baits on this rod. This rod has also received the restrained Wizard design elements.

The Perch Blade is a favorite among many spin fishermen, and there's not much change either.

The soul of the Perch Blade lies in its quiver tip.

The elegant Wizard design is also apparent on the guide wraps, with only minimal green wraps indicating that we're holding a special rod.

This rod was primarily developed for vertical fishing, particularly for the highly popular catfish vertical fishing here in our country. Of course, based on its parameters, the rod is perfectly suitable for jigging techniques as well. The 120-gram weight doesn't really bend the tip too much, but you can already feel the sensitivity of the rod, so the tip won't be too stiff when the catfish hits the bait. This will not only make the catfish less suspicious but also help us detect bites more accurately. The subtle Wizard colors have also been incorporated here, but of course, the additional grip in front of the reel has been retained, aiding in the more comfortable landing of big catfish.

The Vertic Guide is a true big bait, big fish rod, as indicated by its casting weight.

The Vertic Guide naturally features three-legged guide rings. In addition to a reliable joint is crucial in this case as well.
