The TX-1 is Shimano's entry-level rod into the world of carp fishing and is ideal for beginners. The TX-1 is based on a full carbon blank and has a discreet design. It offers excellent all-round performance suitable for various fishing techniques, from long range casting to short range stalking. For novice carp anglers looking for an affordable rod, the TX-1 offers unbeatable value for money. This well-designed rod series with modern slim-shrink EVA handles not only looks appealing, but also exceeds expectations in terms of performance. All models are characterized by a progressive action that safely manoeuvres even the largest and strongest carp into the landing net during the fight. The full carbon blank of the TX-1 delivers great performance at an extremely fair price. Previously rods in this price range were soft, heavy and not very user friendly, but this rod series is a real game changer. The longer models cast surprisingly far and the progressive action helps inexperienced anglers to effectively land more fish. Equipped with Shimano Stainless Steel rod guides and custom DPS reel seat, the TX-1 achieves a completely new price-performance ratio.
