South Coast Rods ST 10

Our aim was to develop a class leading premium blank featuring robust, quality, reliable components manufactured using the best materials and carbon technology. After two and half year’s development work and testing and countless hours spent refining what we believe to be the ultimate carp rod, we are very excited to be able to bring you the SCR Special Taper Carp Rods, designed to meet the demands of big carp angling! The ST 10ft blank has been designed to give you the up most confidence when fishing close in to snags and reed lines on small or large lakes, fishing to medium range or fishing from a boat. They can withstand whatever you can throw at them. The special taper has been designed to give you the forgiveness you need to avoid bumping fish off under the rod tip, but with a butt section full of power, ensuring you can use this rod on small or larger waters and for casting up to medium range, with pinpoint accuracy. The special taper results in a semi-fast action with progressive curve and semi-parabolic action for boat work. Every component used for these rods has been carefully selected based on a strict criteria to ensure the quality and reliability of our products. The following technical details will go some way to explain why we believe our rods are exactly what you are looking for to gain the power, accuracy and confidence in your fishing.

Length/Test Curve 10ft 3.5LB ST Application 10ft – small to medium water and boat work Taper/Action Specially developed taper that generates a semi-fast action with progressive curve, giving you the power when you need it most but still providing forgiveness in the tip when playing fish. Semi-parabolic action for boat work Blank High quality Japanese Toray Carbon High modulus low resin pre preg 40 Ton Carbon which provides longevity of the blank overtime, ensuring it retains its test curve for longer Full 1k weave with a Dura-X finish which uses a manufacturing process that doesn’t require lacquers or resins. The finish means scratches or blemishes are kept to a minimum and your rods will look great for longer Guides AT Ti Forged Air guides finished in a PVD hard chrome shadow black finish which is the most durable coating available. This coating was chosen to ensure the ultimate durability of the guides due to other guides with less expensive finishes wearing quickly with the use of more abrasive mainlines Guide set includes 40mm, 30mm, 25mm, 20mm, 16mm and 16mm Delta Nano Light ceramic anti frap tip. The 40mm then 30mm set up was chosen because during testing it was demonstrated that there was no functional benefit to using a 50mm butt guide on a 10ft rod. Handle/Reel Seat CRSD matt black hood with 1k carbon inlay designed to flex with the blank during casting and providing greater haptic feedback when feeling for a drop, which is an advantage over metal reel seats High density super slim EVA with flare in front of the reel seat and at the end of the handle, finished neatly with a black delrin butt cap which is extremely durable and reduces the visibility of scratches.
