FAQs

What is the main advantage of the C6 carbon construction?

The high modulus C6 carbon makes the rods significantly lighter and more responsive, improving casting performance and sensitivity.

Are the Seaguide guides durable?

Yes, the TDG guides feature ADAMAN™ coating, which enhances their durability and provides a smooth surface for line to pass through.

What types of fishing scenarios are the different lengths suited for?

Shorter rods (e.g., 6ft, 8ft Recon) are excellent for tight swims or stalking, while longer rods (9ft, 10ft) are better for distance casting and playing larger fish.

What is the purpose of the RAW carbon finish?

The RAW carbon finish provides a tough, durable exterior protection for the blank while also offering a modern aesthetic.

Can I use this rod for saltwater fishing?

While the rod components are robust, it is primarily designed for freshwater carp fishing. Rinsing thoroughly with freshwater after any exposure to saltwater is highly recommended.

What test curve should I choose?

The test curve should be selected based on the type of fishing, expected fish size, and casting distance. Lower test curves (e.g., 2.75lb) are more forgiving, while higher ones (3.5lb) offer more power for casting heavier leads or fishing in strong currents.

What is the difference between the XTRACTOR+ and previous XTRACTOR models?

The XTRACTOR+ range incorporates high modulus C6 carbon for lighter weight and better responsiveness, along with updated components like Seaguide guides and a new RAW carbon finish.

Troubleshooting

Reel seat feels loose

Ensure the reel is correctly positioned within the seat and tighten the locking rings firmly. Do not overtighten.

Line snagging on tip ring

Verify the tip ring is correctly aligned and that the line is passing through the center. Check for any damage to the anti-frap tip ring.

Reduced casting distance

Check your casting technique, line condition, and reel spooling. Ensure guides are clean and free from debris.

Blank appears damaged

Inspect the RAW carbon finish and the underlying blank for any cracks or deep scratches. Contact customer support if significant damage is found.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The rods are ready for use out of the protective sleeve. Ensure your reel is securely fastened to the DPS reel seat. Thread your fishing line through the Seaguide TDG guides, ensuring it runs smoothly through the anti-frap tip ring.

Compatibility: These rods are designed for carp fishing and are compatible with standard carp fishing reels and lines. The 40mm butt rings on the 8ft, 9ft, and 10ft models accommodate larger line diameters and modern casting techniques.

Care: After each use, especially in saltwater or muddy conditions, rinse the rod with fresh water. Wipe down the blank and guides with a soft, damp cloth. Store the rod in its protective sleeve and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight when not in use. Periodically check the guides for any damage.
