The carp rod that combines aesthetics and technology at the highest level.
The Shimano Tribal TX-5A Carp fits perfectly into the acclaimed Tribal Specimen range. Featuring the latest construction technologies, it offers an extraordinary balance of finesse, lightness, and casting performance. If the appearance of your rods is as important as their performance, you won't be disappointed: they look sensational and will be the envy of others.
Construction Technologies
-
HPC – High Pressure Carbon: The blank is made by applying high pressure to the surface during curing, evenly distributing resin throughout the carbon fiber matrix. The result is a significantly stronger and more sensitive rod, capable of transmitting every signal with precision.
-
Nano Sheet: The blank incorporates an internal core of NANO carbon sheet with a special low-resin-percentage weave, diffused in micro-particles throughout the blank. This ensures superior lightness (+15% compared to traditional blanks), increased strength (+35%), and exceptional responsiveness.
Construction and Components
The heart of the TX-5A is a slim Nanosheet carbon blank, reinforced with a 3K weave and enriched with Biofibre for increased structural strength. The ultra-light PacBay Minima guides improve the tip's action and recovery speed during casting, ensuring maximum distance. The custom 3K reel seat and the 3K polymer Winn Grip handle complete a top-tier rod.
Range and Models
The range covers all fishing needs: the 10' models are ideal for small waters or boat fishing, available in 3.00lb or Intensity action. The 13' Intensity model is the ultimate choice for long-distance casting—capable of projecting a 4 oz lead over 200 meters.
As a combination of aesthetics and performance, the TX-5A reaches new heights with a construction quality rarely found in mid-priced rods.
