Gardner GTD 12ft Distance Carp Rod 3lb 6oz TC 36-Ton Carbon RRP £220

  

Gardner GTD 12ft "Distance" Carp Rod (3lb 6oz Test Curve). The Gardner GTD (Gardner Tackle Distance) is a purpose-built tool for the angler who requires a responsive, medium-fast action blank. This rod is designed to provide a direct connection when playing fish, while maintaining the tip recovery speed necessary for accurate, long-range casting.

Unlike many "distance" rods that feel stiff and lifeless, the GTD manages a precise balance. The lightweight 3K-reinforced blank is responsive enough to control a fish at the net, yet powerful enough to handle a variety of lead weights without "vagueness" or loss of accuracy. Action: Medium-Fast (Fast tip recovery). Blank: 36-ton Mitsubishi Carbon / Low resin prepreg. Finish: Full hi-gloss with 3K ballistic reinforcement to the joint. Guides: Super lightweight Minima guides with anti-frap tip ring. Reel Seat: Machined 3K Carbon Fibre DPS. Handle: Full slim-line EVA with Stainless Steel butt cap. Additional Features: Whipped low-profile carbon line clip. The use of 3K carbon weave stops just above the overfit joint. This intentional design choice reduces tip weight to an absolute minimum, resulting in a faster, more accurate cast and a rod that feels well-balanced in the hand. It is a dependable, "uncluttered" build that focuses on performance over fashion. ALL IMAGES FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY.
