These two piece carp rods range from a sensitive 11’ 1.5lbs model up to a powerful 13’ 3 – 4lbs model.
| Length | Line Rating | Sections | Price GBP | Further Descriptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
11' | 1.5lbs | 2 | 378.00 | As light and sensitive as a fly rod, and a real delight for those anglers who do most of their fishing at ranges from under the rod tip to 20 or 30 yards. Best for float fishing or freelining margin bottom or surface baits. |
11' | 2lbs | 2 | 378.00 | Very comfortable to use in the margins and for surface fishing, with the added versatility of being capable of handing up to two ounces of lead and allowing efficient angling up to ranges of 60-70 yards. |
12' | 1.5lbs | 2 | 396.00 | Fishing for carp on the surface close in presents a special set of problems, because any stiffness in the rod is likely to tear the hook out on the strike - because the strike is not cushioned by layers of water. Here the action of the rod is the cushion. |
12' | 2lbs | 2 | 396.00 | A superb compromise between a casting tool and a fishing rod. A genuine 130 yards plus caster which gives full confidence when the fish is being played out under the tip. Comfortable with 3 - 3.5 ounces lead and versatile enough to fish from 60-130 yards. |
12' | 2.5lbs | 2 | 396.00 | Exactly the same feel as the Expert Carp 11ft 2lb rod, but with the extra length for those who prefer a 12ft rod. |
12' | 3lbs | 2 | 396.00 | Clearly designed as a long range casting tool, but the versatility of the high modulus carbon, shows to its best advantage here. Very light in the hand for a genuine distance rod. Best casting 3.5 - 4 oz leads, but will take bigger loads where required. |
12'6" | 2.5lbs | 2 | 404.00 | As with the expert carp 12ft 2.5lbs model, able to cast huge distances but still feeling completely in control. Comfortable with 3 - 3.5 oz leads and will fish 60 - 130 yards. |
12'6" | 3lbs | 2 | 404.00 | Very light in the hand for a genuine distance rod. Casts 3.5 - 4 ounce lead, but will adquately cope with bigger loads, when required. You may think a carp rod with a 3lb TC is beyond your capabilities, but this rod may change your mind! |
13' | 3lbs-4lbs | 2 | 409.00 | A powerhouse rod. If you see yourself as an average caster, this lovely rod will allow you to put baits in places you thought were well beyond your capabilities. The ultimate long range casting tool, but still light in the hand so as not to tire you. |
