Short but very powerful, this 9ft rod is ideal for tight swims, commercial carp, and stalking the margins for big fish. Set to be a best-seller.

Features reinforced blanks for extra strength, yet still retain flexibility in the tip to prevent hookpulls around the landing net.

Large bore, lined guides throughout the rod allow free running of heavier lines for added distance on the cast, while the secure screw reel seats and duplon handles make it ideal for heavyweight action.

Carp Kinetics Zero 5000 Reel

This powerful reel is spot on for carp and pike fishing with plenty of guts for catching hard fighting fish. Is has the ability to switch from the freespool facility to playing power in an instant.

The freespool lever on the back of the reel lets you set your rigs up so a fish can take line from your spool as it picks up your bait, and protects you from being snapped off when it runs.

When it’s time to stop the fish in its tracks a simple turn of the handle engages the powerful gearing again and you’re back in control to play and land the fish.

One of the other benefits of these 5000-sized reel is the large-sized spools make it easier for gaining extra distance on your casts too while the smooth ball bearing operation and tough gearing makes it easy for playing big fish.

The 5000-size matches well with carp and pike rods of 2.5lb test curves but can also be used with heavy feeder rods for Method fishing on lakes or for barbel fishing on big rivers like the Trent.
