Epic 12ft/360cm 3.5lb XD Slim Cork Carp Fishing Rod

Designed to set new standards in rod design and performance, Epic carp rods are built using a low-resin construction process that reduces stress fatigue, ensuring each blank stays stiffer and more responsive for longer. Featuring cross-over carbon technology, the rods deliver the ideal balance of sensitivity and controlled power, all in a lightweight package — the result is exceptional casting performance and pinpoint accuracy. Every rod in the range is crafted from premium Toray carbon, reducing overall weight and providing the ultra-fast recovery that discerning anglers demand. To push performance even further, each Epic carp rod is fitted with ultra-lightweight 50mm American Tackle TI forged air guides. These guides integrate seamlessly with the blank’s action, optimising line flow for maximum casting distance. A 50mm butt guide paired with a 16mm anti-frap tip ensures every cast is smooth and effortless. The range consists of four models, available in both XD and AR blanks, with a choice of slim cork or full shrink handle options. For anglers seeking an all-round performer, the 3.25lb AR model is the ideal choice. For those targeting big waters and demanding extreme long-range capability, the 3.5lb XD rods deliver unmatched power and reach. 3.25lb and 3.5lb test curves available in full shrink and slim cork 50mm lightweight American Tackle TI forged air guides on all models 16mm anti-frap tip guide to prevent crack offs 1K carbon machine-cut reel seat Rod saver ring positioned below reel seat Metallic butt cap
