Saxon Tackle - Hexalite Carp Rods:

There are plenty of rods on the market that rely either on lower specification materials and inferior build quality to satisfy the mass market or carry a ‘name’ to suggest its worthy of a high price tag. Instead of following the ‘pack’ we dispensed with many common assumptions and chose to look carefully at the key elements that define how a modern carp rod should perform. With the assistance of top rod designers and experienced anglers we’ve developed a new range of rods that incorporate the latest blank and rod building technology.

The result? Outstanding performance at a very realistic price.

In testing these rods have banked an incredible number of big fish in both the USA & Europe giving you total confidence when it comes to landing your own catch of a lifetime.

Available Test Curves

Available in 5 test curves from the sympathetic power of the 2.50 lb up to the awesome strength of the 3.50 lb. Each taper is designed to meet the demands of modern carp and specimen fishing.

2.50 lb	The ideal rod for shorter range and margin fishing. The smooth power transfer minimizes shock during casting allowing you to accurately place a loaded method feeder 60-80 yds with ease.
2.75 lb	Similar action to the 2.50lb but with a little more ‘backbone’ making it the ideal weapon for putting the stops to fish in snaggy swims or when using heavier leads to hold station on big rivers.
3.00 lb	Only have room for one set of rods? Here’s the best all round option. A medium fast taper offers sufficient stiffness to cast long distances with accuracy while still absorbing powerful surges from big fish.
3.25 lb 3.50 lb	Big waters demand great performance from a rod. The power to cast long distances or put the brakes on a hard running fish also needs to be matched with a balanced feel allowing you to play big fish right under the rod tip. Incredible power combines with the advanced taper design to make L-O-N-G accurate casts the norm. This is the ideal rod when fishing at extreme range or when chasing B-I-G Carp, Pike and Catfish
	Rod Features The Blank Our hexalite ^tm blank uses the highest quality high modulus 1K carbon impregnated with a unique low resin process to produce a super slim, ultra strong rod. The natural carbon weave finish is both practical and very attractive. More importantly the performance of these blanks with our TruCast ^tm technology provides extraordinary performance and reproducible action for pin point casting accuracy and responsive handling of big fish. The Rings Defying convention we added an additional ‘sixth’ ring. This allows the line to follow the curvature of the rod more closely and passes over the rings at a far less acute angle under load than rods with fewer rings. The result? Significantly less line friction or wear plus reduced inertia from sudden lunges or runs means less risk of break offs. Now you can have more confidence when playing hard fighting fish right under the rod tip. And in case you were about to ask – there is no change in casting performance. The ring placement also allows the tip to nestle securely protected by the butt when carrying made up rods. Six Super light, ultra low friction silicone carbide rings. plus an oversize ‘wrap around’ 12mm tip ring is ideal for braid or mono lines and provides maximum line protection even under pressure at extreme angles. The larger diameter tip also minimizes the risk of clogging with weed or debris and allows easy passage of shock leader connections. The smooth transition from a 40mm diameter butt ring ensures minimum casting drag. Ring dimensions (mm): 40/30/20/16/12/12/12Tip The Butt Handle So often overlooked but amongst the most important elements in a modern performance rod! The comfortable, flared handle ensures a stable hand grip (unlike cheap level grips) when applying maximum power in the cast. Combine this with the unique ball end design and you have added security on sky pods or individual bank sticks. Unlike metal end caps it will not get scratched on hard surfaces and the non-slip surface will hold the rod butt firmly against your body without slipping when playing fish. The Reel Seat Saxon JPS-18 screw-lock reel seat offers a stable and secure platform for your reel – including popular Big Pit style models. The “carbon weave” pattern matches the rod blank while the ‘low flash’ black end caps and collar reflect quality and distinction. Cloth Bag Each rod comes complete with a high quality brushed finish protective cloth bag embroidered with the Sa xon logos, test curve and rod length.
