Aqua Products Carp Rods

Carp rods - colloquially called "carp sticks" are characterized by specific features and construction. They are most often made of carbon fiber with a distinct layout of guides and a split handle that facilitates a firm grip during casting.

Length of rods - carp rods are most commonly available in 3 lengths, which are given in English feet: 10' (3 m), 12' (3.6m), and 13' (3.9m). Shorter versions are intended for boat fishing, medium ones are the most common and universal, whereas the longer ones are mainly designed for extremely distant casts.

Flexibility of rods - also known as the action curve is most often indicated on a scale from 2-3.5 lb, i.e., 2.0; 2.75; 3.0; 3.25, and 3.5 lb. The higher the lb, the stiffer the rod allowing it to send the rig 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 universal rods are 12' (3.60m) in length with a 3.0 lb action curve.
