anyfish anywhere 13' 7" Match PRO MK2 inc reducer

Overview

The Anyfish Anywhere Match PRO MK2 13'7" is a specialist multiplier beach rod designed for long-range match and shore fishing over clean to mixed ground. Weighing 800g, it pairs a slim, lightweight yet powerful carbon blank with a fast J-curve tip and a parallel butt section measuring 23.5mm at the butt and 4.5mm at the tip.

Compared with the original Match PRO MK1, Anyfish Anywhere describes the MK2 as faster, crisper, better balanced and equipped with greater power reserves, giving it a noticeably smoother casting feel. The manufacturer rates the rod at 150–175g, with a published optimum casting load of 150g plus bait.

Finishing touches include black whippings with metallic red tippings, grey hardware to match the guides, and a slim Japanese shrink-wrap handle. The rod is supplied as a 2-piece blank with two equal sections, a Fuji 24mm sliding screw winch reel seat, and Fuji BCMNAG grey Alconite guides across 9 guides plus the tip.

Perfect For

This rod is built for anglers who need to repeatedly cast baited rigs accurately at distance over clean or mixed beach ground. Its multiplier configuration and sliding Fuji reel seat allow it to be fished reel-up or reel-down, making it adaptable to individual casting styles.

Both clipped and unclipped bait rigs can be cast smoothly thanks to the MK2's faster-recovering blank, which also helps reduce the risk of bait damage during the cast. While marketed as a Match PRO, its combination of accuracy at range, fast recovery, bite detection and clean/mixed-ground capability also suits serious general beach anglers, not just competition match fishing.

Technical Insight

The fast J-curve tip is engineered to be sensitive enough for clear bite detection while remaining firm enough to stay controlled in tidal beach conditions, a balance that's particularly useful on long-range match venues. The parallel butt section, at a relatively slim 23.5mm diameter, demonstrates how the blank keeps a slim, light feel without sacrificing the power needed for a long-range beach rod.

The sliding Fuji 24mm screw winch reel seat is what enables the reel-up or reel-down flexibility, letting anglers position the multiplier reel to suit their preferred casting technique. The reducer, included as standard with the MK2 (unlike earlier PRO models where it was an additional purchase), extends the effective butt length for casting or reel-down setups, and is stored in a dedicated pocket within the supplied rod bag for convenience and protection.
