Nash Carp Rods
Carp rods - commonly referred to as "carp rods," exhibit specific characteristics and construction. They are most often made of carbon fiber with a specific arrangement of line guides and a split handle that facilitates a secure grip during casting.
Length of rods - carp rods are usually made in three lengths indicated in English feet: 10' (3 m), 12' (3.6m), and 13' (3.9m). Shorter versions are intended for boat fishing, medium lengths are the most common and most versatile, while longer ones are mainly designed for extremely distant casting.
Flexibility of rods - also known as test curve, is most often specified in the range from 2-3.5 lb, that is: 2.0; 2.75; 3.0; 3.25, and 3.5 lb. The higher the lb, the stiffer the rod, allowing the angler to cast the rig further. The lower the lb, the more flexible the rod, providing more pleasure during the fight. High-quality rods combine both characteristics, achieving excellent casting parameters while maintaining the enjoyment of the fight.
The most popular and versatile rods are 12' (3.60m) in length with a test curve of 3.0 lb.
