Any angler who prefers going after carp with slightly lighter tackle will love these rods. The blank, made of Japanese high-modulus carbon, has excellent damping characteristics for playing the fish. Every cast is superbly cushioned right down to the handle, which makes for first class fun when playing fish. And the backbone still has enough power in reserve to bring fish settled deep in the weeds up to the surface. Thanks to its compact format, the Rapid Stalker is also ideally suited for fishing from boats or in confined spaces. And it is far and away the master of precise casting up to middle distances. The top quality fittings include stable SIC guides, a robust DPS reel seat and a slim EVA rear handle. A fine addition for the enthusiastic carp hunter!
