Wychwood Agitator Drop Shot Rods
PAY AROUND
£49.99-£79.99
In launching its Agitator Drop Shot Rods Wychwood is bang on trend, but all four have been designed, created and field-trialled here in the UK specifically for use on our smaller canals, rivers and lakes – unlike many others on the market.
The 6.3ft to 9ft two-piece carbon blanks are incredibly responsive, with lots of finesse and feel in their tip sections, ideal for super-lightweight drop-shotting techniques. The abbreviated handles, white tip whippings and braid-friendly triple-leg guides should put them among next year’s best sellers.
Wychwood C-101/C301 Rods
PAY AROUND
C-301 £169.99, C-101 £59.99
New carp rods have been a little thin on the ground so far this trade show season, so the new Wychwood C-101 and C-301 are especially welcome.
The top-end C-301 comes in three popular test curves, all with progressive actions. Having had a quick cast with the souped-up 3.25lb version, I can vouch for its distance-casting potential. The C-101, with 50mm butt guides, looks to be a great all-rounder, delivering performance at an affordable price.
