Wychwood Extremis Carp Fishing Rod - 12ft - 3lb

Yes, the inclusion of a 50mm butt ring and the progressive action of the blank are specifically designed to aid in achieving greater casting distances.

While it is a multi-purpose carp rod, its progressive action makes it capable of handling the long rigs required for zig fishing.

Keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. You can occasionally use a mild soap solution, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.

A 10,000 to 14,000 size big-pit carp reel provides the best balance and casting performance for a 12ft rod with a 50mm butt ring.

Hold the rod sections firmly on either side of the joint and pull straight apart without twisting; if stuck, use a pencil eraser to rub the joint to increase grip.

Check that your line tension is consistent before starting the cast and ensure you are not using line that is too light or limp for the rod size.

Ensure the DPS collar is fully tightened; if it remains loose, check if the reel foot is correctly seated in the reel seat hood.
