A SIZEABLE CANE
Size in 12 ft (3.60 m): carp rod lengths in 11 and 13 ft are more suitable for carp fishing from the shore.
These rod lengths have greater power to reach remote fishing areas.
The unmounted rod takes up 1.88 m of space. Number of sections: 2
Weight: 530 g
Fixed metal reel seat. The reel is attached by means of a clamping ring.
A FLEXIBLE ROD
Rods with a semi-parabolic action, such as the Extrem 1, are more suitable for beginners, as their suppleness makes casting easier. A good compromise between flexibility (in front of the fish) and casting distance.
The semi-parabolic action allows the rod to bend more in the middle.
Shank: inverted
ATTENTION: check the rod shank before casting. A poorly fitted spigot is the main cause of rod breakage.
RING SIZING AND MOUNTING
The rings are fixed with three legs. These "three-legged" fastenings will be stronger and better able to withstand your more powerful casts.
Ring sizes: starting rings 40 mm, 30 mm, 20 mm, 16 mm, 12 mm et 12 mm en pointe
POWER
The power of your fishing rod is expressed in 2 different but complementary ways:
- The ability to withstand a tensile force such as fighting a fish.
- The ability of your rod to cast a weight at a certain distance.
The 2.75 lbs power allows you to cast up to 95g between 90 and 100m and easily fight medium-sized fish. Perfect for beginners.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROD FOR YOUR SIZE
In general, the length of a carp rod is said to allow you to cast farther.
It's your body shape (with your center of gravity) that really influences the distance of your casts.
For example, if you're less than 1.70 m tall, you'll be less comfortable with a 13 FEET rod than a 12 FEET rod. It will shift your center of gravity to the top of your body.
This means you'll need to exert more effort to use it, and you'll need to be more comfortable with it.
BLANK FOR YOUR ROD
The term blank refers to the main part of a fishing rod, made of carbon or fiberglass for example. For some of our rods, we use the term HM (High Modulus) carbon. In simple terms, modulus, expressed in tons, is the ratio of stiffness to weight. The higher the modulus, the lighter and more resistant the blank is to stress such as the force exerted by a fish in a fight.
