The Wychwood Riot Carp Rod is built to deliver high-end performance and understated styling at a more accessible price point. The range has evolved with advances in weight, balance, diameter, and controllable power. The satin black, non-reflective finish of the high modular carbon blank is minimalistic, blending into a premium 1k carbon reinforced section and a 1k machine cut line clip. It meets a functional black DPS screw lock reel seat with gloss black collars, and the Japanese shrink-wrapped handle offers a hard-wearing, easy-clean grip with a subtle flare at the butt. A gun smoked, laser etched butt cap completes the look. On 12ft and 13ft models, 50mm ULW (Ultra-Light-Weight) guides enhance responsiveness, recovery speed, and casting performance, while oversized 16mm anti-frap tip guides help reduce crack offs, frap ups, and weed jams. The Riot range offers two tuned actions. The AR (All-Rounder) provides forgiveness in the tip and mid-section with power in reserve towards the butt, suiting a variety of fishing situations. The XD (Extra Distance) is a faster action with a stiffer mid and butt section for powerful casting, ideal for longer casts and solid bag fishing where a crisp response tip is needed. - High Modular 24T Carbon blank - 50mm ULW casting efficient guides (12ft/13ft only) - Anti-Frap tip guide - Robust DPS reel seat - Japanese full Shrink-wrapped handle - Machined 1k carbon line clip - Dedicated playing and casting actions - Understated cosmetics
