Shimano Tribal TX-9A Rod, The new TX 9A continues the blood line of its big brother TX Ultra. The unique Spiral X blank makes it powerful and extremely accurate in (distance) casting and fighting. It looks are unique in the market, stylish and beautiful. This is the future design and blank construction direction of carp rods. The Spiral X rod blank construction improves blank strength, makes the blank lighter and removes blank twist + ovalisation. This results in powerful and extremely accurate casting properties: a massive advantage for every carp angler, because more distance and precision = more carp on the bank! Fuji SiC K-type guides (12-275 & 12-300) for smooth line guiding and anti tangle. On Intensity models 50mm Kigan.
