MILLERODS DRIFTER JUNGLE
Introducing the Drifter Jungle 562, a meticulously crafted 5’6” two-piece spinning rod designed for the adventurous angler. Inspired by Ian Miller’s renowned custom build, the ‘JungleFreak,’ this rod has earned its reputation in small freshwater streams, delivering impressive performance across a range of Australian native fish, including trout, bass, sooty grunter, barramundi, and mangrove jack.
What sets the Jungle 562 apart from other small spinning rods is its unique design that incorporates more tip power, enabling it to cast a variety of lures from 2 to 10 grams with remarkable distance and precision. The medium action facilitates easy loading, making it particularly effective for casting treble-hooked lures. This thoughtful design allows for effortless lure manipulation during retrieval, enhancing your fishing experience.
The handle is intentionally short, positioning the reel closer to the butt end of the rod. This not only increases effective tip length—allowing the rod to perform like a longer model—but also improves maneuverability, ensuring that the rod won’t catch on long sleeves while casting. The comfortable cork grip fits snugly in your hand, and the carbon locking hood ensures a secure attachment for your reel, enhancing energy transfer during each cast.
Constructed with the innovative Armour 40-5 blank technology, the Jungle 562 strikes a perfect balance between robustness and lightweight sensitivity, staying true to the Millerods legacy. The Pac Bay Minima 7+1 guide train, featuring the lightest available guides, allows for smooth line flow while maintaining excellent balance and sensitivity. The small tip guide size is designed to minimize restrictions, ensuring that every cast is as efficient as possible.
Completing this exceptional setup is the custom Millerods anti-tangle hook keeper, strategically placed for easy and secure lure storage when moving between casting positions. The Drifter Jungle 562 is suitable for use with nylon, fluorocarbon, and braid/leader combinations, making it a versatile choice for any angler seeking performance in freshwater environments. Experience the thrill of fishing in skinny waters with the precision and power of the Drifter Jungle 562.
