Here’s a quality telescopic fishing rod for carp fishers in the UK. These rods have similar test curves to the well received Crypton Tele Carp series of rods but in a lower price bracket – the Hypercast Tele Specimen. Specialist carp hunters who like to keep on the move will love these highly versatile rods. I love the quick take down and portability of these telescopic fishing rods.

The Shimano Forcemaster series are mid-priced range carp rods, built on XT30 + Fine Crystal Carbon non-ground blanks and fitted with Shimano Hard Lite double leg ceramic guides. The Forcemaster is a great carp rod range for anglers on a budget who want to enjoy a quality multi-rod set up – they are not telescopic rods but are available in 3 piece compact version. Available in powerful long range actions or more subtle fish playing versions, the Forcemaster range offers something to suit most carp angler’s needs. Ideal for compact storage in vehicles

The Shimano Nexave Telescopic Surfcasting rods are fitted with Vibraspot reel seats for extra feel, plus Shimano hard chrome SS wrapped guides.
The 8 Tele surf rods in the range are suitable for a wide range of casting distances and species of fish with lengths from 4 to 4.5m. The weights of the rods range from 295g to 575g so these are highly fishable rods even when held rather than placed in a tripod rod rest.

If your looking for a compact travel rod but just can’t bring yourself to go for a telescopic then a quality multi-section rod like this might be just what you’re looking for. The Shimano STC (Shimano Travel Concept) range is proven, high quality and value for money. These are the new Beastmaster versions.

Thousands of these rods have been purchased by anglers across the world. With the introduction of the new generation BX’s, Shimano succeeded in further improving fishing for travellers. The rods have a new stylish and effective Vibraspot reel seat, multi-length and optional balance weights are just a few of the upgrades.

Warning these rods are not telescopic.

Shimano has released a new range of rods for lightweight fishing. The Shimano Purist rods are a new concept inspired by some of the top specialist fishermen in the UK. They are a range of rods designed for a range of species and situations. The result is top quality rods with non glare finish, quality fittings and a realistic price.

The rods are fitted with a Cork and Duplon grip and a Shimano reel seat.
They are also supplied with a range of different strength quiver tips.

This great fishing rod rack fits on most pickups or trucks. You can fit a cooler box in the middle – how cool is that – keep your beer cold or your smelly fish/bait outside the cab. Made from aluminium so it won’t break your back getting it on and off the vehicle. I especially like the 45 degree angled tubes – great for holding your rods while you rig them up without sticking them in the dirt or sand. Holds 12 rods, 2 at a 45 degree angle. Rack also holds a 100-quart standard or 94-quart marine cooler. Features adjustments for varying rod lengths; mounts to a front or rear 2″ receiver or a bumper. 18″ x 38″. Aluminum construction.
