Shimano 2 Piece Tribal TX-7A Carp Rod - 13ft - Intensity

Shimano 2 Piece Tribal TX-7A Carp Rod - 13ft - Intensity. The Tribal TX-7 range has been designed to master large, more demanding waters. With strength and power at the forefront of their design, the range features some of Shimano Tribal’s longest casting models, yet remains deceptively slim, lightweight and responsive. If you fish large waters, where long range casting is required to get you on the fish, the new TX-7 will most definitely appeal. The TX-7 previously broke the tournament World record for a 4oz lead with a cast of 247yards!

The next generation is developed with the same spirit, but with more advanced technology, to break records again. With the intensity models you will feel the power hidden in the almost impossibly slim blank, whilst the more conventional test curves between 2.75lb and 3.25lb offer a superb compromise between casting power, accuracy and fish-playing functionality.
By adding NANOSHEET technology and M40X carbon fibre, the blank becomes more responsive and has a faster recovery after casting. This will support you in making the longest casts you have ever made. The new TX-7 range is both strong and powerful, yet very forgiving when playing fish under the rod tip. To maximise performance even further, Kigan Stainless steel zirconia guides have been mounted onto the blanks, ensuring relentless power without an increase in weight. A Fuji DPS reel seat and EVA grip handle complete the TX-7 range, which you can be confident in taking to the biggest of venues.

BIO FIBRE
Adding Biofibre reinforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.

NANO SHEET
Shimano NANO carbon is a technology which is used to build rod blanks which are on average 35% stronger and 15% lighter than a conventional rod blank. The heart of a NANO rod blank is made of a NANO carbon sheet. This sheet has a special weave which allows to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. This creates the lightness, strength and responsiveness in the blank.

HPC (HIGH PRESSURE CARBON)
Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.
