shimano 11ft carp rods Aero X1 Feeder Rod – St Ives Tackle designed for carp anglers who demand performance 3x Shimano Tribal TX2 Rods

Heavy cover: Baitcasters excel at pulling fish out of weeds or timber

During these exiting times for the bream angler, it is possible to catch cricket score numbers of fish, with some blue-nosed bruisers well over the kilo mark

Never has a carp rod represented more obviously the boundaries that are constantly being pushed in this budget price bracket and the results are extremely impressive

This freedom lets me constantly feed accurately and on warm days when fish are active, Ive kept the fish competing

Spin cast reels work fine for basic catfishing (especially for channel catfish) or targeting smaller fish

Flapen's verdict: Worth a look (62/100)
