Description
The TX-1 is the entry-level carp rod from Shimano and is perfect for beginner anglers. Constructed from a full carbon blank and finished in an understated style, the TX-1 offers great performance in a wide range of techniques, from long distance casting to short distance stalking methods.
If you are new to carp fishing, or are a casual carp angler looking to pick up a new set of rods at an extremely low price, the TX-1 is a model to beat for value. Available in a wide range of options, including modern thin retractable tube or classic cork handle variants, this well thought out range is not only fantastic, but is sure to meet or exceed your expectations. All models have a progressive action that is fun to use when fighting hard-fighting carp of all sizes.
The TX-1's Full Carbon blank offers great performance for such a low price range. Previously, rods in this price range were invariably soft, heavy and not very user-friendly, but this range really changes the game. The longer models cast to a surprisingly long distance and the progressive action will help inexperienced anglers reach their maximum potential. Available in a wide range of lengths, from 9' (2.74m) to 13' (3.96m), different options are available, including 2 and 3 piece models and also classic cork handle options. Equipped with Seaguide Zirconia rings and a DPS reel seat designed by Shimano, the TX-1 offers unmatched value for money.
