The Chimera is a forgiving rod compared to many on the market ,yet it casts as well as many stiffer rods, but has the elasticity to soak up any last lunges of a big fish close in. The 12’ 3lb Chimera is a great all rounder. The 12’ 3 ½ is an awesome distance machine, but the 3 ¼ offers the best of both worlds, a distance rod that anyone can enjoy using.
