Daiwa longbow carp rod

Holding this rod in your hand you could really think you were holding a rod worth well over £200, and when you find it is less than £100 you realise what a great value bit of kit this really is.

A super slim blank makes the rod look great and understated markings really make it feel like a custom built rod.

I use the 3lb tc model and it really is a superb all rounder, the rod really can cast, hitting 100 yards with ease and going well over that mark when needed. Also it can play a fish, it is not too stiff so you suffer hook pulls.

It is finished to a very high quality, with full fuji rings, with a well proportioned 40mm butt ring, couple this with a FUJI DNPS reel seat, you can tell it is a quality piece of kit, worth well over its price tag.

Add to this a really neat butt cap with a slim butt section. A handy 12" marker on the rod and you can really tell how much thought has gone into the production of this mid market rod,

If you are looking for a rod at this price range, i would reccomend this without a shadow of a doubt, A real trusted name and a stunning rod.

Used by a lot of top anglers including people like Tom Dove who has landed the collosal Annie at nearly 60lbs, you can see they really are upto the job.
