SHIMANO CATANA CX SPECIMEN 12300 P3

Rating: 4.9

The novelty of the fishing season from Shimano turned out to be so successful in its development that in the shortest possible time it gained popularity in the world carpalo-style arena. Becoming a bestseller on the shores of Albion, carp fishing rod CATANA CX SPECIMEN 12300 P3 began to actively conquer domestic fishermen, and, despite higher prices, could still get a number of loyal fans. The classic three-piece came out slightly shorter than the opponents by rating (366 centimeters), but at the same time added to the strength through the use of composite material XT40. The blank turned out to be traditionally thin and powerful, able to withstand even violent, aggressive attacks of carp.

The only weak point of SHIMANO CATANA CX SPECIMEN 12300 P3 in relation to competitors was the level of value. While others are “fighting” for supremacy within the budget segment, this carp rod has taken a step forward, slightly going beyond the relevant price. But, anyway, today it is considered the best in its category, with which we can not argue.

Daiwa Windcast WNCT 3312-AD

Rating: 4.8

Carp rod from the company Daiwa is one of the most advanced in the line of Windcast, even though the obviously weakened design. Its main advantages are exhaustively described in four words: subtlety, accuracy, speed and power. With a length of 390 centimeters, manufacturers managed to keep their weight at 390 grams, mainly due to the use of a new high-strength carbon fiber. In turn, speed is provided by the characteristics of the form, allowing to make long casts and provide unlimited control over the bait during posting. This also implies the accuracy of action.

As for the power of Windcast WNCT 3312-AD, this parameter manifests itself during the process of fishing for prey. Despite a serious deflection, the rod stably resists the applied load, not bringing to plastic deformations or fractures, leaving the winner from all “skirmishes” with carps.

SHIMANO ALIVIO DX SPECIMEN 13-350

Rating: 4.7

The carp rod ALIVIO DX SPECIMEN 13-350 is not a top model of the carp rod from Shimano, but it relies on the technology used to create elite series. It has a fast system, because of what it shows excellent results in casting distance, as well as a confident game of bait in weight variations from 0 to 140 grams.It consists of two plug sections, which ensures the proper rigidity of the structure and in fact the high load capacity of the blank.

According to anglers, the carp rod SHIMANO ALIVIO DX SPECIMEN 13-350 is able to work in the most aggressive, heavy modes, pulling from the depths of the trophy carp weighing up to 15-20 kilograms. And let in recent years, the model has seen a steady increase in prices, technical characteristics continue to keep demand at a consistently high level.

MIKADO SAKANA HANTA CARP, 3.90M

Rating: 4.6

Another very popular representative of feeder rods for carp fishing developed by the Polish company Mikado was awarded a place in the ranking. Unlike the KAIDA carp rod, SAKANA HANTA CARP is more focused on ergonomic performance, which is clearly reflected in its weight parameters. With almost identical strength and slightly shorter length (390 centimeters), the weight of this model is only 270 grams. In addition, the wider bait test, which has an upper limit of 140 grams, is also encouraging.

According to anglers reviews, MIKADO SAKANA HANTA CARP is almost the best carp rod in a category that combines low cost, good technical and ergonomic features, and high build quality. There are no objective shortcomings, but merits are more than enough.

KAIDA BIG FISH TELE CARP (118) 420 / 60-120

Rating: 4.5

Inexpensive and functional carp rod for hunting large carp, the test of which varies from 60-120 grams. It has a good margin of safety largely due to its massiveness - without a snap, its weight is an impressive 0.45 kilogram. However, for a length of 420 centimeters, this is quite normal: if the weight characteristic is underestimated, such a large shoulder of the rod may simply break.

According to users, the KAIDA BIG FISH TELE CARP carp rod does not favor light bait too much, showing mediocre sensitivity results. Adequate reactions of the whip and the form appear only at the upper borders of the test, so the anglers prefer to use the carp rod exclusively on heavy tackle for a large predator. Otherwise, it is very good, as evidenced by good sales figures in Russia.
