These are great rods where longer ranges are not required, realistically you aren’t going to fish past 100yds with these two, but for a lot of people that is unwanted anyway. If you fish smaller waters and want to enjoy playing the fish then you cant beat these two models, they are more than comfortable casting a 2 1/2oz lead with a stick mix on, the 3lb having that little more poke to it if you need to up the lead size a bit.

Without doubt our biggest selling Free Spirit rod EVER!

This is without doubt the best value for money all round carp rod we have ever sold, very slim, great to look at and use and will do pretty much anything you need, it is comfortable at fishing 120-130 yds but is also perfectly ok to use at 30 yds on a smaller water. This rods cast 3.5oz comfortably or pop a 3oz lead and a stick mix on and you will hit over 100yds with ease. We believe that at this price point there simply isn’t a rod that comes close to it.

A stiffer version of the 3.5lb where maybe solid PVA bag use or those extra yards are needed, a slightly faster taper than the 3.25lb so is a little stiffer when playing fish, not a poker though.

Now you have jumped up to the casting rods in the range, this rod will handle 4oz comfortably and will hit 150yds in the right hands, not an out and out fast taper blank as it does still bend through the middle but the power loads up pretty quick, also great for picking the line off the water to set hooks a long range.

This is a rod that Mark Huchinson cannot believe does what it does for a rod of this price, if you cant afford Hi-S Ives or 220’s then this is the rod he recommends, it will bang a 4oz lead close to the 200yd mark so for the money must rate as the best extreme range rod on the market!!

Obviously this is a pretty stiff rod but the extra length at 13’ means the rod feels less powerful than the 12’ version, its powerful but not an absolute poker. Its still an amazingly slim and well balanced rod for the price.
