South Coast Rods Karperhengel ST13
Artikelnummer: 00133754.
The ST 13ft blank has been designed to give you the up most confidence in all fishing situations while withstanding whatever you can throw at them. The ST13 is the casting tool in the range but has been designed as a carp fishing rod as the number one priority, but with the backbone and capability to hit longer distances when required. The ST13 has repeatedly outperformed other rods on the market and has been cast to over 200 metres on the casting field. That doesn’t mean they aren’t forgiving, the special taper has been designed to give you the forgiveness you need to avoid bumping fish off under the rod tip, but with a butt section full of power, ensuring you can hit the distances required with big leads and bags, with pinpoint accuracy. The special taper results in a semi-fast action with progressive curve, which aids casting by helping you get into the butt section quicker. If you are looking for a through action rod for using light leads, then these aren’t for you.
Length/Test Curve:
13ft 3.75LB ST
Application:
13ft – Casting tool/long range/bag work
Taper/Action:
Specially developed taper that generates a semi-fast action with progressive curve, giving you the power when you need it most but still providing forgiveness in the tip when playing fish
Blank:
High quality Japanese Toray Carbon
High modulus low resin pre preg 40 Ton Carbon which provides longevity of the blank overtime, ensuring it retains its test curve for longer
Full 1k weave with a Dura-X finish which uses a manufacturing process that doesn’t require lacquers or resins. The finish means scratches or blemishes are kept to a minimum and your rods will look great for longer
Guides:
AT Ti Forged Air guides finished in a PVD hard chrome shadow black finish which is the most durable coating available. This coating was chosen to ensure the ultimate durability of the guides due to other guides with less expensive finishes wearing quickly with the use of more abrasive mainlines. Guide set includes 50mm, 30mm, 25mm, 20mm, 16mm and 16mm Delta Nano Light ceramic anti frap tip. The 50mm then 30mm set up was chosen because during testing it was demonstrated that it gave improved casting performance over the 50, 40 set up by reducing the size of line coil quicker on the cast
Handle/Reel Seat:
CRSD matt black hood with 1k carbon inlay designed to flex with the blank during casting and providing greater haptic feedback when feeling for a drop, which is an advantage over metal reel seats. High density super slim EVA with flare in front of the reel seat and at the end of the handle, finished neatly with a black delrin butt cap which is extremely durable and reduces the visibility of scratches.
