Compact/Stalking Rods
Shorter carp rods are extremley popular nowadays! Originally they were more popular for stalker or floater fishing but nowadays many anglers use them for their everyday carp fishing! We stock all major brands including Free Spirit and Fox to name a few. Some models like the ESP Onyx retract to make them even more compact for travelling!
Free Spirit Hi S Surface Creeper 11ft Abbreviated
There are three rods in the range built with the same 40t Low Resin Carbon as the carp rod range. The rods are finished with our 1k Clone reel seat, S-Lite guides and full cork handles with stainless steel fittings as standard.
This is a great all round stalking as well as an 11FT Floater rod, test curver is around 2.5lb.
We also sell a lot of these as a general small water rod as they have a great fish playing action but plenty of power when needed, available in Full Cork or Abbreviated handle options.
Shimano Tribal TX-2 10' 3lb 40mm
The TX 2 carp rod range is based on proven manufacturing processes, using XT60 carbon.
Shimano Tribal TX-4 10' 3lb
The TX 4 range was built with one thing in mind, casting big distances without breaking the bank. With testing of the blanks one thing became apparent, building a rod to cast a big distance is one thing, build a rod that can cast a big distance and be a pleasure to land a fish is another. We truly believe this has been achieved with the blend of HPC100 + Biofibre, creating a strong blank that recovers quickly in the mid to tip section but forgiving tip providing cushion for lunging fish. EVA + shrink tube grip create a comfortable, stylish handle and the rods are completed with reliable Seaguide Stainless Steel SIC guides. In summary TX 4's are distance fishing rods, built for hard to reach spots, to date longest recorded cast 198m (216 yards)!
