Casting weight first, length second · review
Abu Garcia 1612472 review
A short 3–14 g rod with named rings and a cork grip, stated for both fresh and salt water.
The bottom line Buy it for the short blank and the named rings, not for the numbers — it is a rod for casting under branches and for light shore work in salt.
What the maker puts in writing
- Length: 1,83 m
- Casting weight: 3 to 14 g
- Blank: 24T carbon
- Rings: LTS SIC, stainless
- Handle: premium cork
What 24T describes
It names the carbon fibre, not the rod. A stiffer fibre can be built into a softer rod, and no maker publishes the relationship — which is why the blank description is read after the casting weight and the length, never before.
The rings, and why they are named
LTS SIC-Ringen aus Edelstahl … auch bei geflochtenen Schnüren.
Silicon carbide inserts in stainless frames, stated for braid. On this shelf only this rod names its inserts at all, and braid is the line that finds out whether a ring insert is hard enough.
One listing, three lengths
The same listing carries three prices — 34,99 €, 39,99 € and 44,99 € — for three lengths of the same rod. The specification published does not separate them, so the length has to be chosen from the variant selector rather than from the text.
Availability
Read on the day this page was built: 35 € to 39 € at the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.
Priced in another currency: the British Amazon shop sells it outside the euro, so the range above excludes it.
Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

The declared figures, and the point they run out
Strengths
- Names the ring inserts — SIC — and states they suit braided line, which almost no listing here does
- Stated for salt water as well as fresh, which the stainless rings support
- A hook keeper, which is the detail that stops a lure swinging against the blank in transit
Compromises
- No weight, no sections and no transport length published
- 1,83 m is short for open water, and the listing does not say what it is short for
- Three sibling lengths share the same listing at 34,99 €, 39,99 € and 44,99 €, and the specification given does not separate them

Questions that come in about this one
Why choose a 1,83 m rod?
Accuracy in tight places. A short rod puts a lure under an overhang that a 2,10 m rod cannot reach, and it gives up distance over open water. The listing does not make the trade-off explicit, so it is worth stating plainly.
What are SIC rings?
Silicon carbide inserts. The maker states they reduce friction and suit braided line, which is the claim that matters: braid is abrasive on a soft insert, and a cheap ring wears a groove.
Is it really usable in salt water?
The listing states it and the rings are stainless, which supports the claim for the guides. Nothing is said about the reel seat or the fittings, and salt attacks those first.
Who this one is for
Close-quarters lure fishing under trees, and light shore work in salt
