Daiwa Basia AGS Carp Rod

PAY AROUND

£680-£750

Well here it is – the Bugatti Veyron of carp rods. Furnished with the latest and what must be the world’s most expensive AGS carbon guides, and built with an ultra-high-grade carbon core, armoured with a special X45 cloth, it’s a real thoroughbred.

The blank produces more feel than any carp rod I have ever picked up. The tip recovery speed post-cast is simply astounding, as, unfortunately, is its price. But if you have the money, go for it. It’s available in 12ft and 13ft lengths, with test curves from 3lb-3.75lb.
