Rods for better Carp and Barbel fishing
Carp rods
CHIMERAS (image first right) are a range of Carp rods that
start at medium range and go on and on, depending on your casting
ability.
The CHIMERA blanks pioneered the combination of UD
carbon and
two weaves concept of construction, which is where the name
CHIMERA originated. The CHIMERA was a mythical beast combining
lion, goat and serpent. The UD carbon is our serpent and the
lion
and the goat the 3K and 1K plain carbon weaves, used in the
butt
and tips respectively. This construction gives you POWER,
STRENGTH and TORSION CONTROL.
CHIMERA
carp rods are
available in a wide range of test curves, from the
almost mellow
12ft; 2.5lb to the awesome 13ft; 3.5lb. All look stunning with
their almost holographic look and can cast and play fish
effortlessly.
The 12ft; 3lb. is the best all-rounder -
it will cope with a
wide range of casting weights and has a forgiving tip when
playing big fish in the margins.
The 3.25lb; and 3.5lb; models are great for big
pits, long
range fishing.
Prices start at £192.00 for the 12ft; 2.5lb. model
to
£240.00 for the 13ft; 3.5lb. model.
Fitted with Kigan SiC guides, abbreviated handles, Fuji reel
seat, stainless trims and supplied with a quality rod bag.
TORRIX (image second right) are a range of carp rods
evolving from CHIMERAS, by subtly tweaking tapers, resin content,
fibre angle, and fibre mix, you gain a significant step
forward.
TORRIX is manufactured from super flat, super wide,
lightweight pre-pregs to allow new, radical, lay-ups
TORRIX is slimmer and lighter but has the strength and
torsion control of larger diameter blanks. Tip mass is down and
this is evident in the feel when you pick the rod up and swing
your first lead.
Four test curves are available at 12ft. and three at 13ft.
12ft; 2.75lb. 12ft; 3lb. 12ft; 3.25lb. 12ft; 3.5lb.
13ft; 3lb. 13ft; 3.25lb. 13ft; 3.5lb.
As with the CHIMERA all look stunning with their
almost holographic look.
The 12ft; 3.25lb. is the most popular choice, coping well
with a wide range of casting weights and, in the right hands,
awesome power to hit those hard to reach spots.
Prices start at £225.00 for the 12ft; 2.75lb.model
to
£240.00 for the 13ft; 3.5lb. model.
