These carp rods embody the extraordinary combination of speed, durability, and impressive damping properties. The semi-parabolic blank made of high-performance Japanese carbon is fast and at the same time incredibly robust. This means you won't lose control even during energetic runs and can safely guide the carp into the landing net. The fast and powerful backbone of these rods also allows for precise casting. Whether you need to cover long distances or want to cast accurately to your spot, these rods perform impressively. In addition to their impressive performance, the Competition CS-5 series also features a modern look and is equipped with sturdy SIC KW-style guides (initial guide size 50 for standard rods / 10ft Stalker 30 / 10ft Breakout retractable size 40), TVS-style reel seat, and split EVA handle.
