Description

The Wychwood Epic carp rod range is built around a low resin construction process that helps reduce stress fatigue, keeping the blank crisp, stiff and responsive for longer. Cross-over carbon technology balances feel against controllable power, while high-grade Toray Carbon is used throughout the build to reduce weight and deliver super-fast recovery. The machine cut 1K carbon reel seat provides a secure, flexible connection with strong feedback, and the ultra-light 50mm American Tackle TI forged air guides, fitted across the range, are paired with 16mm anti-frap tip guides. The range covers four handle and action options: - AR – All Rounder: 12ft 3.25lb. Designed as a genuine all-rounder, with a crisp tip blending into a progressive mid-section with reserves of power for when they are needed. Suited to short-range work or casting leads up to 4oz. - XD – Extra Distance: 12ft 3.50lb. A fast action rod for middle-sized to large waters. The forgiving tip allows fish to be played on a short line without pulling the hook, while the rapid response tip powers up quickly for PVA bag and Method work. Long casts towards the 200m mark are realistic. - FS – Full Shrink: Extremely hard wearing and minimalistic. The full shrink handle offers a full grip without compromising the slender diameter of the blank. Stylish, functional, durable and easy to maintain. - SC – Slim Cork: Classic cork styling with a modern twist. Hard wearing and slim in diameter, ideal for anglers who prefer a traditional look.
