Shimano TX-1B Carp
The TX-1B offers unbeatable value for money for newcomers to carp fishing who are looking for an affordable rod. 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 characterised 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-1B delivers great performance at an extremely fair price. 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-1B achieves a completely new price-performance ratio. With Shimano guides (50mm starter ring on INT models), Shimano reel seat and slim-shrink EVA handle section.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
