Close your eyes as you pickup one of these I exciting new generation Catana AX carp rods, (you won't have to concentrate too hard) take in the light yet responsive feel, that reassuring traditional put over action giving you power and
sensitivity exactly where you, the fish, and the cast needs it. Impressive!! So far so great! Now let your eyes grow accustomed to the dark sultry cosmetics; your pupils will start to dilate as you behold the build quality, the
minimalistic fittings and fixtures, 18 mm pipe seat, low profile Shimano Hardlite rings with robust varnished black silk, short low diameter rear grip with carbon grey satin finish and split butt section. Don't worry - line clip and
line depth marker as standard have not escaped your notice either. Now glance, wide eyed at the blinding price tag, there must be some mistake - a set of three of these rods coming in at around £200 RRP. Are your sensibilities
deceiving you? Is it a misprint? Good questions!!! Behold the Catana AX carp range, the first sub £70 carp rods with all the looks, feel and attitude of a rod thrice the price. Catana AX rods come in two configurations for each test
curve - the standard version features single leg intermediates, a shorter split handle for anglers who like to have more butt flexibility whilst playing their fish and that extra few cm's of casting potential. Then there's the DL
version, double leg intermediates and slightly longer split handle length for those that prefer to use the butt section to push the cast and move the balance more to the middle of the rod. Whichever your convention on how rods should
be constructed you now have a clear choice. It's a word that's used a lot these days but outside of a custom rod made to your own specifications where else can you buy a production rod with a custom build and custom feel price? Where
else would you be able to get so selective without spending some serious wedge? Catana AX and AX DL carp rods - head turning carp catchers at a choice price. |
