Technical features

We advise that you use this reel with a braided line with a diameter of 0.12 mm, and a rod with a power of M or MH

Instructions

Braided line capacity:
0.12 mm 400 m 

Monofilament capacity: 
0.20 mm 320 m
0.25 mm: 196 yds

Spool Capacity:

Max. power:
The most commonly communicated measurement – it indicates the spool’s maximum drag power.

Usable power:
The closest measurement to use, as it takes into account the malformation of the reel rig (rotor, pick-up support, etc.) and indicates the drag casting weight: available for fighting against the fish.

Drag Casting Weight

This reel comes with adjustment rings to adjust the conicity of your coiling:

If you have a pyramid-shaped coiling (lower section fuller than the upper section): Remove the spool to get at the axis and remove one or two plastic rings
If your coiling is in the shape of an inverted pyramid (upper section fuller than the lower section): Remove the spool to get at the axis and add one or two of the plastic rings provided

Fishing Rods & Kits

This very flexible rod makes for easier casting thanks to the parabolic action

Rod action

2.5 lb test curve lets you make medium range casts with weights up to 85 g

Distance

100% fibreglass rod lets you land medium-sized fish

Our engineers developed this rod for the carp anglers who want to have fun during their first fishing sessions.

Power of Fishing Rode (lbs)

Size 12 feet (3.60 m): The length of the carp rods between 11 and 13 FEET are more suited to carp fishing from the bank.

Rods of this length tend to be more powerful for reaching long range swims.

The dismantled length of the rod is 1.88 m. Number of sections: 2
Weights: 530 g

 Fixed metal reel holder. Reels are secured on the rod by a screw locking ring.

SIZE MATTERS

The flexibility of semi-parabolic action rods such as the Extrem 1 makes for easier casting thanks to their flexibility. Good compromise between flexibility (playing the fish) and achievable casting distance.
The semi-parabolic action lets the rod bend more in the middle.

Press-fit: Inverted

CAREFUL!: Before casting, check that the joints are properly assembled. A badly inserted spigot is the main cause of rod breakage.

A WONDERFULLY FLEXIBLE ROD

The rings are attached via three legs. These 3-leg guides are stronger for greater resistance to heavy duty casting.

Ring size: Rings starting 40 mm, 30 mm, 20 mm, 16 mm, 12 mm, and 12 mm in tip

SIZE AND GUIDES OF THE RINGS

The test curve of your rod is a gauge of two different but complementary characteristics:
- The ability to resist a tension force similar to wrestling with a fish.
- The rod's ability to cast a weight over a certain distance.

The 2.5 lb test curve will enable you to cast up to 85 g between 90 m and 100 m and master medium sized fish with ease. This makes it perfect for beginner lake anglers.

POWER

It is often said that the longer the carp rod, the further you can cast. 
But it is mainly your size (and your centre of gravity) that determines how far you cast. 
For example, if you are under 5'7" tall, you will find a 13 foot rod less comfortable than a 12 foot rod. It will shift your centre of gravity towards that upper part of your body.
Which means it will take more effort to use

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROD FOR YOUR HEIGHT

The term blank refers to the main part of a fishing rod, made of carbon or fibreglass, for example. For some of our rods, we use the term HM carbon (High Modulus). For simplicity, the module expressed in tons would be the ratio between rigidity and weight. The higher the module, the lighter and more resistant the blank is, similar to the force exerted by a fish when reeling it in.

YOUR ROD BLANK

Easy transport

Our anglers have developed this combo for all types of ledgering, particularly when fishing for big predators.
