Unbelievable for just £20 – that’s the verdict of Angling Times at the launch of these three new rods from Carp Kinetics.

The CK Sneaker Stalking range comprises three full carbon rods in 6ft, 9ft, and 10ft lengths which have been designed to put the power in the hands of carp, specimen, and pleasure anglers looking to poke a bait under trees, near snags, and into the margins of day ticket carp waters.

They’re fast on take to ensure secure hook-ups, with a softer tip to absorb lunges around the landing net – crucial when using shorter, power rods for big fish.

And don’t let the short lengths trick you into thinking these super-slim rods are push-overs when you hook a carp, the 2.75lb test curve on each rod has all the power you need for fish well into double figures.

Perhaps the most radical rod in the range is the Sneaker 6ft which is a two-piece rod that will get you into the most intimate of spots, while the 9ft and 10ft rods offer you a bit more casting range for opportunist fishing for carp you’ve spotted.
