Scoobycue Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Having been away from the carp scene for over twenty years I've lost touch with what rods are good or bad. I'm looking to buy some rods for a trip to France as well as doing some bigger pits over here. So they need to cast a good distance. What do you guys recommend? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalej2014 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Have a look at this for technique - Terry mentions in one of his vids which rods he recommends. Sorry, can't remember which one though. Regardless you'll learn a bit from the vid. Good luck in France! Scoobycue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 12 hours ago, Scoobycue said: What do you guys recommend? Depends largely on your budget and your technique mate. If you want to spend money and are well voiced in big casting then the Harrison Trebuchet is a monster for distance work. If you want to spend money but not the worlds biggest caster the Trebuchet Light is much easier to compress but still capable of massive distances. If you want to save money the Shimano rods (TX2, TX4 and TX7) are supposed to be very capable in the high test curves and available at much lower cost. Ultimately any long stiff rod will get you distance but as with most things budget makes a difference.

Scoobycue Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) My technique is not too bad as I can pendulum cast and make reasonable distance but my current set up is too soft. Just ordered a set of Shimano Big Baitrunner XT-B LC 14000 Reels to complimemt the new rods. Will look into the Shimano rods later😉 Edited October 18, 2021 by Scoobycue dalej2014 and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobycue Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Unless anyone has a better suggestion I think the TX7s will do the job admirably. yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
