Greys Xlerate Duplon Carp Rod

Greys Xlerate Duplon Carp Rod

Innovation in carp fishing is driven by the increasing average size of commercial fish and the different techniques used against pressured fish who sulk in tricky, snaggy swims that are often as far away from your peg as possible. More than ever, serious carp anglers seek out tackle that can help them cast further and wrestle with bigger beasts. They are also more willing than ever to scope out the finest details of their swims to make sure that know all the possible hiding places.

Rod development has risen to the challenge and the Xlerate Duplon Carp Rod is one of a number of offerings in the premium bracket from Greys. The Xlerate range includes Full Shrink Wrap, Abbreviated, and Cork versions of this remarkable carp rod. It combines strength with sensitivity, it’s incredibly light, and it looks good.

A long, slim full handle with a Duplon synthetic rubber grip provides comfort and security. This reliable base is attached to the leading edge in rod technology. Super-supple and light 1k-rated carbon fibre is used to create a dense but ordered blank matrix by means of proprietary resins and spherical nanoparticles from 3M to fill and smooth the gaps between individual fibres. The resulting uniformity is the source of both incredible strength and high levels of sensitivity. This rod manages to be capable of long and accurate power casting and subtle communication of details from your terminal tackle at the same time.

A hybrid Fuji reel seat has been included, with a lightweight carbon body and strong aluminium hoods. Your line will pass through a set of G-Lite XR DL Black Edition guide rings that frame tough silicon carbine centres with corrosion-resistant stainless steel and titanium frames. A 50mm guide gauge improves line transit in casting and retrieval. The tip ring has an anti-frap design that minimises terminal tackle crack-off, as an added bonus that increases confidence under full power.

The power available to you with the different options are as follows: 140yrd (128m) casting ability with the 12ft, 3lb test curve option, up to 160yrds (146m) with the 12ft, 3.25lb option, and perhaps over 200yrds (183m) with the 12ft and 13ft 3.5lb versions.

The owner of this rod will also receive a suite of extras, including tip and butt protectors, an engraved butt cap, a line clip, and an EVA stopper. If you’ve put in the hours and raised your game to the point where you thirst for new and higher challenges, a Greys Xlerate Duplon Carp Rod could be the weapon you need to take on the carp boss of your next level.
