Raven IM6 float rods provide traditional action that delivers smooth hook sets and plenty of reserve power when it is needed. The 11’ and 11’6" rods combine smooth, crisp action with loads of power.

RAVEN^® float rods are specifically designed for float fishing, with features that other rods simply can't provide.  Long float rods provide increased float control and cleaner hook sets, allow you to fish deeper holes and make longer drifts than can be achieved with any standard length rod.  Their parabolic action is designed to absorb the impact of a hard fighting fish on light line.


Selecting Gear
Rod Action is determined by the blank design as well as the modulus of graphite fibre it is made from.
IM9: A super stiff, extra crisp action ideal for fishing heavier set-ups with larger hooks and heavier line.  It has the power to turn big fish in fast water and delivers extremely fast hook sets, even at long range.
IM8: This crisp, clean action offers versatility in what and where you can fish.  It is soft enough to protect light lines, but powerful enough to handle large floats and fast water.
IM6: This traditional action is ideally suited for light to medium set-ups.  Its relatively soft, cushioning action protects the hook from ripping out and light lines from breaking.


Fixed reel seat or sliding rings: A reel seat screws down to hold the reel securely in place and helps balance the rod.  Sliding rings are a more economical choice and make it easy to position the reel to suit your personal preference.  Once positioned, they can be taped in place, to prevent slipping and for added security.
