NEW LONG CAST Featuring Low Resin Content carbon, High Pressure Carbon processing and a 1k strengthening wrap, the Tribal Long Cast rods are among the most responsive carp blanks Shimano have ever produced, and are sure to improve any angler’s casting performance. Each rod action has been specifically developed around its test curve - the higher the test curve, the greater the blank compression. The 2¾lb version is designed for mid-range bag work with a delightful forgiving action, whilst the 3¼ lb stepped-up model will deliver single baits and sticks at extreme distance, with pinpoint accuracy.

CARP The Tribal Carp uses XT100 and High Pressure Carbon, combined with a dual taper design and 1k strengthening wrap to produce a stiff but progressive action. The Tribal Carp has the power to punch out PVA bags, method feeders and big leads, whilst maintaining the playing softness required to ensure a hook-hold all the way to the net. The 2¾lb version has been designed to deliver excellent casting performance and accuracy up to 100m. The more powerful 3¼lb rod offers extreme distance performance whilst retaining a forgiving progressive playing action, unusual for such a powerful blank. The newly designed slender Fuji tip guide does away with bulky weld joints which keeps tip wrap-rounds to a minimum. The 50mm slim frame SiC butt guide reduces weight, and increases casting potential by smoothing the line cone profi le as it leaves the reel.
