TFGear Carp Rods

Carp rods - colloquially referred to as "carp rods," are characterized by specific features and construction. They are most often made from carbon fibre with a particular layout of guides and a split handle, which facilitates a firm grip during casting.

Length of rods - carp rods are usually made in three lengths given in English feet: 10' (3 m), 12' (3.6m), and 13' (3.9m). Shorter versions are designed for fishing from boats, the medium ones are the most common and versatile, while the longer ones are mainly intended for extremely long-distance casting.

Flexibility of rods - also known as the test curve, is most commonly indicated on a scale from 2-3.5 lb, such as: 2.0; 2.75; 3.0; 3.25, and 3.5 lb. The higher the lb, the stiffer the rod, allowing for casting the rig over a greater distance. The lower the lb, the more flexible the rod, providing more pleasure during the fight. High-quality rods allow combining both features and achieving excellent casting parameters while maintaining the joy of the fight.

The most popular and versatile rods are 12' (3.60m) in length with a test curve of 3.0 lb.
