SPECIMEN|2012
NEW TRIBAL LC SPECIMEN CORK Identical to the original Long Cast but with a full cork handle. Built from a blend of Low Resin Content carbon with HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology and a 1K strengthening wrap. Each rod action has been specifically developed around its test curve - the higher the test curve the greater the blank compression required. The 2.75lb version is designed for mid-range work with a delightful forgiving action, whilst the 3.25lb stepped-up model will deliver single baits and sticks at extreme distance with pinpoint accuracy.

TRIBAL CARP The Tribal Carp uses HPC processing, combined with a dual taper design and a 1k strengthening wrap, to produce a stiff but progressive action that designers and consultants have being striving to achieve for a long time. The Tribal Carp has the power to punch out PVA bags, Method feeders and big leads, whilst maintaining the playing softness to guarantee a hook-hold all the way to the net. The 2.75lb version has been designed to deliver excellent casting performance and accuracy up to 100m. The more powerful 3.25lb offers extreme distance performance whilst retaining a forgiving progressive playing action not usually found with such powerful rods. The new-design slender Fuji tip guide doesn’t have bulky weld joints, limiting tip wrap-rounds to a minimum and the 50mm slim frame SiC butt guide reduces weight and increases casting potential by smoothing down the line cone profile as it leaves the reel.
