Shimano Rod TX-2 Carp Intensity Cork 3.96m 13'0" 3.50+lb 2pc - Fishing Rod for Carp Fishing

TX-2 is Shimano's best-selling carp rod series – and it's easy to see why. They offer outstanding performance, incredible casting distance and a wide range of models, including classic cork handle versions. No other rod gives you more casting distance or better feel for the money.

If you're looking for new carp rods at a reasonable price, the TX-2 is a no-brainer. A set of three rods costs considerably less than some premium individual models – yet still delivers impressive performance, modern design and a wide range to choose from. Whether you prefer the shorter Stalker models or long-distance versions like the Intensity, with slim shrink tube handles or traditional cork grips, there's a TX-2 for you.

The blade is made of High Modulus Full Carbon, which gives a slim profile, low weight and perfect balance. They actually feel better in the hand than many significantly more expensive rods. The progressive action really comes into its own during trolling, and in the right hands the Intensity models can cast over 180 meters. The cork handles add a classic feel and are guaranteed to attract attention on the water.

Equipped with stylish Seaguide Zirconia guides and a Shimano-designed DPS reel seat, the TX-2 is available in a variety of lengths and strengths, including specialist models for stalker and surface fishing.

The TX-2 series combines powerful, slim blades with perfect balance for most large reels. Thanks to its affordable design and high performance, the TX-2 has become a favorite among carp anglers of all levels. The series builds on the previous Tribal Velocity rod, which was already popular with anglers around Europe.

The TX-2 is a real workhorse in Shimano's specimen fishing range - many of the Tribal Ambassadors fully trust it. If you want a modern carp rod with top-class performance, without breaking the budget, the TX-2 is the obvious choice.
