True to the original concept carp fishing rod of the 2009 model.  AI wanted a carp rod which was of a high specification that a good caster could propel a lead or bag with and give the average caster the option to optimise his own casting potential. The rod of course had to look the part and be soft enough in the tip to make the ‘fight’ a pleasure and prevent hook pulls. No expensive machines, just ‘live’ experienced carp anglers tested these rods to the limit. The finished article is very user friendly, soft in the top section but with enough backbone to ensure a half competent caster can achieve their distance potential. During testing it significantly outcast more expensive, apparently true long distance rods and exceptionally stood out in the crowd as a great all rounder. AI are delighted to have developed the perfect carp rod.

Features include : 12 foot 3.25 & 2.75 tc powerful through action ~ optimum casting weight 3 oz ~ 40mm to 16mm SICs (the enlarged tip ring enables smooth casting and makes dealing with weed and debris far easier) ~ black reel seat ~ super slim highest quality blank with attractive cross weave finish ~ unique AI branding in whipping near the butt ring ~ machined black aluminium butt cap with AI branding engraved on base.

A subtle understated finish and typically unique AI cosmetics give the rod a true custom made look which exudes class and quality. AI are confident that for the price this rod cannot be beaten.
