ETERNITY Three years after its launch, Eternity is still without doubt one of the best rods on the market. Ultra-slim, it is constructed entirely in very high modulus Woven Carbon One-K. This exclusive and revolutionary carbon supplies exceptional thrust during casting, making it ideal for long range fishing, but at the same time is easily manageable for short distances. A combination of performance that cannot be found in any other rod with a 3.50lbs test curve. Accessories are of the highest quality and designed for maximum fishing comfort as well as maximum performance. The Fuji reel seat is fitted with a carbon line clip. The handle is covered with HDE special high density resin up to the end of the butt for perfect grip in any conditions.
CAPTURE Capture is constructed entirely in Radial Fused Carbon, a special wound carbon that makes the sections extremely rigid with exceptional casting power while keeping weight and diameter very low. During production it is tested under strain to identify the perfect “spine” and prevent torsion of the tip and consequent loss of precision and power during casting. It is fitted with 6 exceptionally light special SIC Light Frame Titanium guides that do not alter the original action of the blank in any way. Only the end of the handle is covered in HDE, making this model much appreciated for both short and long range casting. A carbon line clip is incorporated in the Fuji reel seat. This is without doubt the most versatile rod in the K-Karp range, both for performance and choice of no less than four lengths and test curves. TECHNICAL DATA Code

It is distinguished by the sensitive and quick action,that, even when under extreme pressure, curves to soften even the most powerful runs ensuring excellent control of the carp at distance and in the landing net. The reinforced joints provide great strength and endurance while Super Slim sections and accurate finishes give the Hurugon an elegant look. TECHNICAL DATA Code

ATTRACTION K-Karp now offers its clients a new rod that combines the most rigid dictates of the British manufacturer and the modern technical innovations on materials. Using these standards we have developed a rod with parabolic action that has the simple minimalist look that is the trend of today identified at first glance by its green colour and translucent ultra slim sections. The materials used are first class: the blank is built entirely in carbon SHM while the guides and reel seats are Fuji originals, the brand that represents the very best in terms of quality. The overall look is enhanced by the handle which uses a special shrink tube, and a classy laser-engraved metal cap.

ANTIDOTE These rods are made using S.H.M. Carbon blank which makes these rods totally reliable even in the most extreme conditions. The action of these rods is very powerful and thanks to the power in the tip is also capable of reaching extreme casting distance. The slim diameter of the blank and the progressive action of the tip are just perfect during combat. With a such high performance blank we decided to combine top quality components like HDE wrapping on the handle, SIC guides and new generation steel reel seat. Antidote is available in two lengths, both with a test curve of 3.00lb and 3.50lb.

FUSION SPOD The original name for this rod comes from the special carbon used: the Radial Fused Carbon, which is known for its qualities of strength and speed. The SiC Ultralight guides ensure lightness and offer extreme casting power, drastically decreasing the resistance on the line. The 5lb version is designed to cast big spod or bait rocket, while the 4lb, in addition to doing the same job, can be used with large marker during the delicate phases of plumbing. On both versions a visual signal has been applied (at one meter from the base) to facilitate measuring the depth of the bottom. The blank has been specially designed to shape the style launch of the Carper, by enabling outstanding distances to be reached . Extra qualities that will be appreciated when fishing are - the reinforced joints and the fast action. These features have defined The Fusion as exceptional - can even be used for catching big cat fish. 14 | From Carpers to Carpers
