Mivardi Carp Rods
Carp rods - commonly referred to as "carp sticks" feature specific characteristics and construction. They are usually made of carbon fiber with a unique arrangement of guides and a split grip that ensures a firm hold during casting.
Length of rods - carp rods are typically available in three lengths measured in English feet: 10' (3m), 12' (3.6m), and 13' (3.9m). Shorter versions are designed for boat fishing, medium lengths are the most common and versatile, while the longer ones are mainly for extremely distant casting.
Flexibility of rods - also known as the test curve, is usually 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 longer casting distances. Conversely, the lower the lb, the more flexible the rod, providing more enjoyment during the fight. High-quality rods allow for the combination of both features, achieving excellent casting parameters while maintaining the pleasure of the fight.
The most popular and versatile rods are 12' (3.60m) in length with a test curve of 3.0 lb.
