1 Rods When an and tool becoe one The rod is the extended ar of the angler. Not only a stick with a line to it, but a precision instruent ost developed. It is the link which lets a perfect interaction of the angler with its equipent becoe reality. RODS MADE OF BEST CARBON FIBRE EDITION IM-12 - NEW IN 2015 / NEW: EDITION IM 12 TROUT RODS For a long tie our Edition rods are convincing in design and technology. Our designer tea has succeeded in producing a genuine hit in ters of appearance. The sybiosis between the ruby-red, shiering carbon surface and the gold-coloured eleents has a superb, noble effect. MK ADVENTURE IM 12 RODS / NEW: IM 8 RODS / IM 7 RODS Matze Kochs target was to enable the angler to react as flexibly as possible. We have succeeded in perforing this tightrope walk-type feat in the for of the high class IM-12 and the affordable IM-8 and IM-7 rods. A sensitive rod for catching both perch and ediu-sized pike? It exists! A rod which is short and easy to handle and at the sae tie capable of aking it easier to ebark on vertical fishing. A rod suitable for ediu spin fishing and light jerking? This too was ade possible in the MK series. Casting weight specifications ranging fro 6 to 60 gras are by no eans utopian. And it is so delicate that it can present ultra light bait perfectly and nevertheless go ahead and perfor a full swipe with a 50-gra jerk. JÖRG STREHLOW SIGNATURE RUTEN When it coes to how a perfect, practical rod for fishing for pike-perch with rubber bait should be, all the approaches erge in the work of the leading pike-perch expert, Jörg Strehlow. All odels were developed with great care in the course of innuerable days spent fishing by the water. The rods are a perfect sybiosis between lightness, equilibriu, speed, hardness of strike and flexibility during play and could only be resolved by eans of superb, progressive rod blanks. NEW: MASTERPIECE SNAKE SKIN / NEW: THE MAGNA PRO FEEDER Michael Zaataro and his tea here also invested a great deal of tie in the further developent of the IM-8 feeder rods. Not only were the existing odels further optiised, new rod types - such as the Method Feeder - were furnished with sensible extras. DIABOLO - IN THE 8. GENERATION Photo: Fotolia Dudarev Mikhail Our all-tie ost successful rod series is in the 8th generation!

EDITION IM NORTH NANO How can you iprove a perfect product? Volker Dapoz and our technicians pursued precisely this question in connection with our legendary 71 North rod series. The result is real high tech rods based on carbon fibre fortified by nanoparticles. Carbon ats ade fro carbon nanotubes (CNT) are cobined with IM-12 carbon ats for the special blank construction. An extreely high fracture resistance isthereby obtained, which provides for slender blanks and a low weight

The innovative FUJI reel seat of the put-in rods is open on both sides to enable one s fingers to lay on the blanks while one is fishing.

4 Matze Koch MK ADVENTURE IM-12 RODS The best-known phrase for Matze Koch ust be: Stay flexible! He has often enough used rods in ways for which they were not intended, copletely ignoring what the anufacturers had printed on the blank. This did not ake it easy for hi to develop rods because he wanted his rods to have precisely those characteristics: i.e. they should cover large segents, enable the angler to react as flexibly as possible, and they can be used for other purposes than the intended one without any isgivings. We have succeeded in perforing this tightrope walk-type feat in the for of the high class IM-12 and the affordable IM-7 rods. A sensitive rod for catching both perch and ediu-sized pike? It exists! A rod which is short and easy to handle and at the sae tie capable of aking it easier to ebark on vertical fishing. A rod suitable for ediu spin fishing and light jerking? This too was ade possible in the MK series. Casting weight specifications ranging fro 6 to 60 gras are by no eans utopian. And it is so delicate that it can present ultra light bait perfectly and nevertheless go ahead and perfor a full swipe with a 50- gra jerk. Features: Japanese IM 12 carbon FUJI Skeleton reel seat, 20 % lighter The special curvature of the guide supports acts as a line deflector and prevents loops of the line fro getting wrapped around the guides, even when casting is inferior. The Titaniu SIC Vector Angle guides stand extra far away fro the blank so that the line does not get stuck to the rod even during heavy rain. Titaniu SIC guides Japanese IM-12 carbon fibre Original Fuji reel seat Fine duplon handles MK PERCH BRUSH ULTRA LIGHT The perch brush already available fro the MK series has a rigid backbone and is lightning-fast in action, so that it can also present rubber bait briskly. Matze has now reached the stage with a significantly softer rod to be used only for the sallest rubbers in the rubber sector. Its ain forté is ini wobblers and spinners. Bait types that do not require exceptional springiness in the blank, but which are so delicate that no perch will escape anyore. The supersoft rod which continues to reverberate, and which by no eans wobbles around, thanks to the fast IM 12 carbon fibre, accoodates the sensitively porous outh of pikeperch well. Also a nice rod for trouts. Ite g weight g / Duplon / Duplon FROM 110 GRAM MK PIKE WHIP Like all of the odels in the IM-12 series, this exceptionally fast spin rod is light in weight and one can fish with it for any hours without tiring. Mediu-sized wobblers up to 20 c are no proble for the snappy action, even lightweight jerks can be presented attractively. And when fishing with rubber fish the pike whip can play out its strong features to the full. It is just as good at short, gentle lobs out of the rod blank as the classic lazybones ethod Yet it is sensitive enough to also present lighter pike-perch bait successfully. Ite g weight g / Duplon / Duplon / Duplon MK GIANT PIKE STICK MK PERCH WHIP Perch easuring ore than 40 c are ore difficult to catch than etre-long pike, Matze is in the habit of saying. Therefore one ust attack with perfectly adjusted tackle in order to be able to present sall bait seductively. At the sae tie an extreely sensitive action is required because as pike-perch anglers are aware: hooked perch tend to break out just before the being landed. This rod takes this circustance into account with a beautifully supple upper rod section. This does not ake it a lab s tail because if a pike-perch or hake happens to bite, the progressive action ensures that the botto section of the rod takes over the work, while the top instantaneously rebounds. Ite g weight g / Duplon / Duplon You want to fire out bait beyond the 50-grae ark with the greatest possible force? And then expedite it powerfully away fro the botto? Want to be able to deal playfully with pike easuring over one etre? Then this is the right rod. Pleasantly light in weight, it plays out its strength wherever large bait is supposed to be offered, and they succeed in landing the requisite hard strike into even the toughest pike outh. No atter if confronted with an aggressively guided big wobbler, a reeled-in giant twister or twitched jerkbait, the Big Pike Whip can handle it all. Extra tip: Excellent also for light pilking or for ackerel. Ite- g weight g / Duplon MK PIKE-PERCH WHIP Perch don t like it too rough, unless one is fishing on the Rhine or Elbe. The delicate jups of the rubber bait, or the fine guidance of a sall, deep-running wobbler, guarantee successful fishing for shy perch. The Pike-Perch Whip is highly sensitive in action and in the strike, but still has a great backbone in case the bobshell pike gets hooked at soe stage. Light bait can also be cast and presented with pinpoint accuracy. The short rod is at 1.95 also excellent for vertical fishing. Its action is slightly stiffer than the vertical feeler and is thus also suitable for greater depths with leadheads weighing up to 30 graes. Ite g weight g / Duplon / Duplon / Duplon MK VERTICAL STICK An ultra sensitive little rod for feeling around the botto. Excellent for bait weighing around 20 g and not just fro a boat; it can also be used fro the bank. The extreely delicate yet taut action iediately conducts even shy nibbles straight into the fisheran s ar. Yet one not only places the strike reliably, the lightning-fast blank with a slight bounce can buffer even the hard head-butts of pike-perch and the explosive flights of pike securely and steadily. This short rod enables you to guide the bait fro the wrist, no atter whether you wish to ove the bait gently or to tug it briskly. Ite- g weight g / Duplon 36 37

5 Matze Koch MK ADVENTURE IM-12 RODS MK BAITCAST RODS MK DROP SHOT STICK With the drop shot ethod you can offer the bait at the ost attractive spots and fish extreely fine and slow. Specialists leave the lead even stand on ground and beat with the soft rod tip into the braided line. So the bait reacts seductively on the spot. To lead the bait perfect the rod has to have a particularly sensitive and soft tip. At the sae tie the rod needs a hard backbone and action to set the hook. All these requireents has this rod. Based on the Perch Whip blank this rod has the necessary soft tip and ore rings. Ite- g weight g / Duplon Since pike-perch and pike whips have becoe household words and they have gained acceptance thanks to their excellent action and an unbeatable price/perforance ratio, bait-cast fans have begun asking why there are no odels with trigger handles. Here they are now, identical MK VERTICAL STICK BC Sae features like the Vertical Stick but with trigger handle and guides for ultiplier reels. to the standard whips, but with the difference that the guides are saller in accordance with the bait-cast requireents, and the trigger handle iproves their stability. Ite- g weight g / Duplon MK DROP SHOT HAMMER Those who tie the dropshot assebly with steel, safeguarding against pike, offering larger fors of bait is well-served by this ore rigid rod. Big rubber baits can be presented just as sensitively as when fishing for perch. Furtherore, natural bait can be served, dancing perfectly on the spot to have pike, and of course pike-perch, drooling.

Ite- g weight g / Duplon MK PIKE WHIP BC MK OLD SCHOOL Increasingly often we receive queries as to whether the only rods available today are the odern-looking taut rubber-fish rods. Matze began his fishing career with rods like this one, only in those days they were heavier and ade of solid glass. Although this rod is as light as a feather, it has the soft action of nostalgic rods, a solid cork handle and is not as fast and taught as a jig rod. So, anyone wishing to present only spinners, spoons or wobblers and, in doing so relies on the yielding action, is well served by the old school.

Ite- g weight g / Duplon LENGTH 8 M MK NATURAL BAIT PIKE STAND MK CARP Advanced carp anglers swear by springiness and a fine, thin blank for the perfect feeling during play. During play, when a changes direction very fast, it bounces back to its original position as fast as lightning without bobbing up and down, thus enorously reducing the danger of a hazardous entangled at of line. The big Vector Angle guides perit long distances and are perfectly suitable for braided and onofilaent lines alike. Matze is not prepared to stop at the inial equipent with five guides for three ore etres casting distance. To hi the even power transission to the blank during play is ore iportant, therefore the rod has six guides as well as an extra-large leading and top guide in order to iniise friction.

Although it is very light in weight and fast, it can take even 4-oz leads easily without having to forego fun play. The rebound in the case of powerful flights is excellent, tiring the fish faster than a really touch long-distance bludgeons. The FUJI reel seat, which is incidentally also used with the feeder rods of y colleague Michael Zaataro, can hold even larger reels steady as rocks. Baitfish rods are used wherever baitfish are to be presented statically, yet in free waters. If your stone packing or the cabbage field to be bridged-over and be several etres wide, 6.5 ay be too little. In that case this is your rod. At a length of 8.5 they offer the bait far away fro the bank. The long rod is as light as a feather, an absolutely top odel for predator specialists, and it is equally suitable for pike and pike-perch. Thanks to the low weight it can be balanced out excellently. MK BREAM FEATHER With this rod you sit by the water as a professional because it is by no eans inferior to far ore expensive top products. 13 guides ensure super-soft weight transfer to the pleasantly rebuffering blank. The fine line never adheres to the varnish in rainy weather because the guide fraes have deliberately been chosen to be so high because, all the way to the tip. However, this rod taes brea and tench of all sizes without any difficulties and its fantastic action akes it possible to use very thin lines.

6 Matze Koch MK ADVENTURE IM-8 RODS Our two MK Adventure rod series, for which Matze Koch placed his knowledge at our disposal, have been a peranent feature in our range of products. In the new MK Adventure IM-8 series Matze has developed artificial-bait rods with very fast actions, siilar to those in the IM-12 series. This springiness is clearly tangible, enable even beginners to get used to the snappy blank quickly, which is so indispensable for fishing with rubber fish. Indeed all other types of artificial bait can be cast better and ore accurately the less a rod continues to bob. What s ore, they are also look really good: The novel wooven look of the blanks is really super! We offer you an inexpensive alternative with excellent rods in the for of the MK IM-8 series.

In cobination with a size 620 MK spin reel with a 0.10 braided line there is nothing ore to prevent fun playing with the saller predator fish, and light bait can be served with precision and fire it out far enough. Ite- g weight g / Duplon Fast action is iportant when fishing with rubber fish; this frequently involves high prices because the requisite high proportion of high quality carbon-fibre rods is extreely expensive. This rod, which is siilar to the pike-perch whip in ters of its action, is fast enough to give beginners the opportunity to guide rubbers in a variety of ways. Ite g weight g / Duplon / Duplon / Duplon MK PIKE CUTTER MK PERCH FIDDLER Many beginners have been waiting for the perch rod coparable to the perch brush and built with the affordable IM 8 carbon fibre.

This has a positive effect on the running action of any wobblers; it uses the soft tip to vibrate itself upwards so-to-speak, and then akes the run all the ore aggressively. Get into the habit of a snappy strike when there is a bite so that the stiffer part of the rod sets the hook accurately. It goes without saying that one can present other artifical baits well. In particular spinners, streaers and sooth-running surface baits should be entioned here.

Pike-perch also like vertically-presented natural bait on fine float asseblies. This is probably the first rod to open the foor to this technique; it is the first baitfish rod for pike-perch. It is long, sensitive and light. The second, soewhat stiffer variety is the classic for fishing for pike with baitfish. It presents the baitfish statically, close to the botto.

8 Jörg Strehlow Signature rods Fishing with artificial bait using an ideal rod is a bit like being with a dear and loyal copanion: He s always there when he s needed, having supported us discreetly and giving us a pleasant sense of security. This invaluable characteristic is the essential thing about a TOP rod for spin fishing: At the very oent the bite takes place it has to drive the hook into the hard, bony outh of the pike-perch within fractions of a second. Prior to this, it ust be nothing ore, nor less, than a reliable extension to our ar. It ust not be top-heavy, although it is designed for any hundreds of casts per day, without causing pain in our wrist and shoulder by the end of it. When it coes to how a perfect, practical rod for fishing for pike-perch with rubber bait should be, all the approaches erge in the work of the leading pike-perch expert, Jörg Strehlow. All four odels were developed with great care in the course of innuerable days spent fishing by the water. The rods are a perfect sybiosis between lightness, equilibriu, speed, hardness of strike and flexibility during play and could only be resolved by eans of superb, progressive rod blanks. FEATURES: Blanks ade of light-weight high odulus IM-12 carbon Precision FUJI reel seat fro Super sli Titaniu SIC guides, ideal for braided lines Perfect joints sealed with epoxy laquer Rod grip ade of Portuguese natural cork JS LAZYBONES BOAT At last we now have the right boat rod for all depths and all types of water: it offers great casting capacity and is fast enough to be sure to place the hook even a long way fro the boat. Yet it is also taut enough for great vertical fishing in deep waters! Ite- g weight g / Cork What you don t all aybe know: Jörg Strehlow is also one of the ost experienced sea trout guides in Gerany! His tours have been a household nae to all friends of the fast silver, and each year nuerous anglers take part in the. It goes without saying that the insights of such experienced professionals are worth a int when it coes to constructing the perfect sea trout rod! Unlike a pike-perch rod, spin rods for the coast ust be absolute casting catapults. Such a catapult ust be capable of a successful cast over a distance of 100 etres carrying baits weighing axially 25 gras. They then develop plenty of heart and soul during play: For sea trout have soft ouths and slip out if the rod is too hard! Nevertheless, the ideal rod ust provide sufficient reserve for a fat cod or the Big Maa as sea trout anglers endearingly call capital fish beyond the five-kilo ark, with a sparkle in their eyes. All these characteristics coe together in the 3.20-etre long Sea Trout Classic recently developed for us by Jörg. For those who prefer to fish with lighter bait weights - which is often done successfully in Geran firths, Danish Fjords or essentially on flatter beaches - the perfect partner is available in the shape of the Sea Trout Senso. JS LAZYBONES CLASSIC With this rod you are excellently equipped for flowing or still waters which you preferably fish fro the bank. Are you aazed at how fast the wolf can bite during the strike, yet is then quick to be taed and to cushion the head-butting of the pike-perch right through to the handle! A rod like the developer hiself: A soul full of passion with no superfluous bric-à-brac and visual giicks. Ite- g weight g / Cork JS SEATROUT CLASSIC A spin rod for wade fishing on the coast of the Baltic Sea or the North Sea is an absolutely high-tech device: It ust offer extree lightness and perfect balance with the ounted reel. At the sae tie it ust achieve casting distances easuring hundreds of etres and, far out there, it ust also drive the hook into the outh of a biting cod, a sea trout or sea bass. It ust unite all this with a silky-soft play curve which gives one a good, secure feeling during the entire fight. The SEA- TROUT CLASSIC coes fro the workshop of Jörg Strehlow, the longest-serving sea-trout guide in Gerany. By the way, this rod is also einently suitable for fishing for saithe, pollack and other sea predators fro the shore: a agnificent play experience! Ite- g weight g / Cork ONLY 200 GRAM JS LAZYBONES DISTANCE One of the few rods which was really issing on the arket: Using the Lazybones-Distance you will be able to reach the press water of the next groyne at a casting distance of over 80 to 90 etres! Or the underwater edge at the lake which you could only reach with heavy botto rods and bait fish until now. Nevertheless, this drea rod does not lose its speed and tautness. Ite- g weight g / Cork JS SEATROUT SENSO JS PIKE-PERCH WOBBLER Unlike his perfect rubber-fish rods, Jörg Strehlow has put a softer tip onto this innovative wobbler rod. This akes it easy to observe the filigree play of the bait on the one hand, and on the other to vary it perfectly. Experienced wobbler anglers know that when a pike-perch bites bait play frequently ceases iediately before the attack, or the pressure of the wobbler on the rod decreases. If you, too, wish to genuinely perceive such details, instead of just iagining the, Jörg Strehlow will coe up with exactly the right weapon to atch your hand! Ite g weight g / Cork / Cork There are two fundaental differences when spin fishing on the coast: For one thing one can have luck with sea predators over a great distance while being rather stationary: the CLASSIC is ideal for this. The SEA TROUT SENSO is the ideal copanion for covering larger sections of a beach, but above all for fishing with lighter baits in shallower bays or overgrown parts of beaches. It is a real experience to be able to shoot even very light bait with the catapult-like rod blank over incredible casting distances. Yet you have the peranent feeling that you are holding no weight in your hand! The silky-soft action brings every fish safely into the landing net. Nevertheless in ost cases there is sufficient reserve to be able to restrain even the fish of your life. It is also a great pleasure to fish for garpike using sall, sli spoons and the SENSO: you can hardly get any ore action when you are spin fishing! Ite- g weight g / Cork ONLY 180 GRAM 44 45
