Description

Shimano’s Tribal TX Ultra rod certainly lives up to its ‘grip it and rip it’ tagline. Three exclusive SHIMANO carbon technologies combine to create unprecedented casting performance: the Spiral X Core for torsional rigidity, Hi-Power X for reducing blank twist, and a revolutionary Carbon Monocoque handle for improved power transfer and improved feel while fishing. Additionally, these technologies result in a lighter rod, making it the lightest carp rod in the TX range, which results in increased tip speed when cast with maximum force.

A 13′ INT model with a 4.5oz (128g) lead has been able to cast more than 220 yards. The TX Ultra is not only longer casting, it is also astonishingly accurate and forgiving when ‘playing fish’, particularly for test curves of 3.0lb and 3.25lb. Using the TX Ultra in conjunction with a Shimano Super Slow Oscillation Big Pit will result in an unbeatable combination for carp fishing.
