The flexible, IM10 shaft launches the rig dynamically towards your aim. The strategically placed, wear-resistant SIC guide set lets the line run smoothly. If you want to achieve maximal distance, use a large reel with tampered spool. Under no circumstances should you use lines thicker than 0,30 mm, because it would reduce your casting distance. You are encouraged to use a braided leader, but in this case, use a protective glove to avoid injuries. The Carp Expert Slim features a quality metal butt cap and a premium reel seat. It is an outstanding fishing rod with an exclusive appearance.
