Many have interchangeable quiver tips and a specialist tip and the backbone to deal with carp. I picked up the link for the Darenth Valley Tackle Box twin tip, but there are others available. https://tacklebox.co.uk/rods-en/specialist/specialist-rods/tackle-box-darent-valley-11ft-1-25lb-avon-quiver-twin-tip-rod/ Quote
