There are a number of key ingredients to a good carp rod and SONIK have been perfecting the recipe for many years. In the background, we often research and test the latest carbon materials available, but price precludes their use in today’s competitive carp rod market. The Tournos XD is the exception to the rule and stands head and shoulders above the competition at this price.   With a crisp, powerful casting action the rod is tailored for anglers who push their rods to the limit on bigger waters when targeting specimen fish. The low resin Japanese Toray carbon fibre blanks are slim, lightweight and immediately impressive in the hand. Used and endorsed by our world class team of anglers, we are confident the Tournos XD rods will become the go to rod at this price point and make a perfect match with the new Tournos XD 1000 Gold spool reels.
