The Euro XS Carp 800 from PRESTON is extremely powerful but has a perfect balance between handling, stiffness and power. It can be used both in carpodromes and on natural waters in search of big fish! All joints are reinforced to provide durability and strength with a new carbon weave process combined with a 1k carbon reinforcement. The EURO XS CARP poles are built on the same thorns and solid foundation as the very popular EURO CARP range to maintain full compatibility between these two generations of poles. The rod range is simply fantastic with many new key features and reinforcements making them more durable and offering better overall performance than their predecessors. The Euro XS Carp range has been designed to meet the demands of competitors in carpodromes as well as anglers fishing in natural waters. Whatever style of fishing you prefer, you will find a rod in the range that suits you. The XS range of rods have been developed using high modulus Japanese "TORAY" carbons, the most durable and resistant available offering responsive and well balanced rods to aid CAD pot fishing and trying to tackle the shyest to touch. We've reinforced the joints and the most stressed parts of these poles to give them longevity and durability. All rods in the EURO XS CARP range feature a 4.5mm internal diameter monobloc tip which is pre-fitted with a high quality PTFE inner sleeve. At the end of each section 2 is an EVA cone with a PTFE bush to provide perfect sliding and protection of your elastics in two sections. Kits and cupping kits are the same length to keep your fish really accurate. The cup sets are equipped with a PTFE threaded bush that is compatible with Preston Innovations Cups. The EURO XS range is fully interchangeable with the EURO range, which is perfect for EURO pole owners.
