Shimano TX-1B Carp
The TX-1 is Shimano’s entry-level rod for the world of carp fishing and is ideal for beginners. The TX-1 is based on a full carbon blank and features a subtle design. It offers excellent all-round performance, making it suitable for a variety of fishing techniques, from long-range casting to close-range stalking. For those new to carp fishing looking for an affordable rod, the TX-1 offers unbeatable value for money. This well-designed rod series, featuring modern Slim-Shrink EVA handles, not only looks appealing but also exceeds expectations in terms of performance. All models feature a progressive action that confidently manoeuvres even the largest and most powerful carp into the landing net during the fight.
The TX-1’s full carbon blank delivers superb performance at an extremely fair price. Previously, rods in this price range were soft, heavy and not very user-friendly, but this rod series marks a real turning point. The longer models cast surprisingly far, and the progressive action helps inexperienced anglers land more fish effectively. Available in many different versions, including the long-casting Intensity models. Fitted with Shimano stainless steel guides and a custom DPS reel seat, the TX-1 offers a completely new value for money.
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.
