The Dutch tackle brand, Gunki, was founded by Carl Visser in 2008. As an avid angler, Visser quickly opted for fishing as a branch from his hobby, and in particular white fish and competition fishing as a speciality. In 2014 the company expanded to meet the needs of predator fishing where they now specialise. The company try to help provide quality products to best meet the needs and budget of their customers and range from an assortment of items for the hobbyist and for the "professional".
The Iron-T C Chooten range is perfect gear for catching pike. Gunki focuses on high end perfectly balanced rods built with high performance. This Gunki rod certainly offers that with its range of features. Made from Japanese carbon sheets, the rod presents a low-density resin with a high density of carbon. The rods come in two pieces for ease of transportation and storage and the option of two sized models. The 210cm length offers the power of 5-18g, whilst the 198cm rod offers a power of 7-21g. Each rod has a casting weight around 129g.

Gunki has equipped the rod with fast action response on all blanks from superior casting performance and reactivity. Gunki is a great choice for all your heavier lure fishing. It is built to handle the hard and fast takes that predators can offer. The longer rods are particularly suited to swimming styles with big lures on large waters. Tactile, powerful and well balanced, Gunki achieves a versatile casting rod designed for true specimen hunters.
The taper of each blank has been designed to maximize precision thanks to the feature of a slender blank, which offers easy handling and exceptional sensitivity. The reel seat features a carbon insert that amplifies vibrations from the blank, enabling you to read every knock or tap on the rod be it from the bottom, from hitting snags or chasing fish. The butt sections of the rod have been reinforced with a carbon braid to add reserve of power to help handle the biggest of fish.
Presented in subtly stylish matte black, the rod casts little to no surface glare or shadow, making it a good choice for the stealthy approaches that characterise predator fishing. The trigger handle is a unique shape that has been customized to suit different techniques, helping with the versatility of predator fishing, this optimises precision and comfort for the angler.
