The Shimano TX-A Spod Rod is even slimmer than its predecessor and the look has changed dramatically. It is the ideal carp rod for the novice angler on a budget who is looking for a robust and/or branded rod. The TX Spod and Marker rods could be considered Shimano 's "entry level" rods, but as always the quality is very high.
We are talking about one of the best carp fishing rods on the market in terms of quality/price ratio: it features a thin matt black blank , precise finishes and a minimalist but decidedly captivating look .
The reel seat is a DPS : a real guarantee both during the cast and for controlling the fish during the fight. The guides are Shimano Hardlite , and the first guide measures 50 mm , an essential detail for those who practice long casts.
The wrappings are all in black epoxy. The action is versatile, although we are talking mainly about a progressive parabolic rod with a slight tendency to tip in the more powerful models. The Tribal TX-1 carp fishing rod is the right choice for those who want to get into carp fishing without spending a fortune , while being able to count on good quality tools. It is also a perfect solution for those who want a second set of rods to use in all situations without fear of breaking a valuable set.
