Distance Rods: The Backbone of Your Carp Fishing
The perfect balance between power and action
For static fishing with boilies, the 12ft (3.60m) rod with a 2.75 lbs test curve is the most popular class in the Netherlands. At Hengelsport 2000, we understand why: these rods offer the ultimate balance. They are powerful enough to accurately cast lead weights up to approximately 90 grams, while maintaining enough action to absorb the lunges of a fleeing carp. This ensures a flawless bait presentation at a distance and maximum control during the fight, whether you're fishing a local pond or a vast lake.
Versatility on every water type
Whether you prefer polders, canals, large lakes, or rivers; a 12ft 2.75 lbs distance rod is suitable for almost any situation. The blank is stiff enough to properly set the hook at long range, even when using heavier rigs. At our store in Amsterdam (Diemen), we stock various top brands that excel in casting performance and durability. Pair these rods with a quality reel and you're ready to hunt the largest common and mirror carp in the Benelux.
