CLASSIC fly rods 
Built by craftsmen in our own factories, the Carbotec CLASSIC range is hand finished in a deep translucent brown with dark brown whippings, and comes in a choice of three build options.
6ft #4
& 6.5ft #4
The perfect weapons for brook and small stream fishing. Rated for AFTM4, these rods will present small flies on light leaders with the utmost delicacy. Ideal for wet and dry flies.
7ft #4
A truly delicate rod for fishing flies in chalk streams, small streams and moorland fishing, where shy trout demand perfect presentation. A great all-round rod for wading to present an upstream nymph or dry fly imitation with ease.
7.5ft #3, #4
Our #3 rod is truly a delicate instrument. It puts a fly on the water like a feather for those extra-sensitive fish in clear water with ultra-light leaders. The #4 has slightly more power through the butt for increased distance.
8ft #3, #4, #5
Probably the most popular length for river anglers, this range offers a rod for everyone. At home with both wet and dry flies, they will comfortably handle light leaders. With subtle power; the #4 or #5 weight will handle bigger fish in stillwater situations.
8.5ft #4, #5
Like the 8 foot the 8.5 will comfortably handle light leaders but offers more distance control on medium rivers. Both the #4 or #5 weight will handle medium stillwater situations.
9ft #4, #5, #6
When fishing bigger rivers or when wading, the #4 rod offers sublime control, superb accuracy and the ability to fish small flies on light leaders. The #5 is a light-line special for small stillwater use and fishes best with a DT5 or WF6; this makes it a superb stalking tool. The #6 is a beautifully balanced rod designed for small stillwater work, excellent for covering fish at speed and fishes best with DT6 or WF7 lines, but will also take a DT5 when casting long distances.
9.5ft #6
This is the perfect rod for the light-line stillwater and reservoir enthusiast. This rod covers fish with pinpoint accuracy, and suits nymph, dry fly and small lures. As a light-line, low-water sea trout rod, this one is superb. Fishes best with a DT6 or WF7.
9.5ft #7
BEST SELLER
This is the most popular rod in our range. Used with a WF8 line, it will load very quickly and cast a full line. This rod will enhance your enjoyment by requiring little effort to maximize performance. A good choice of rod for anyone who suffers from restricted movement. Suited to single- or double-haul tactics.
9.5ft #8
With fast tip recovery, this rod doesn't require too many false casts to cover cruising rainbows at distance. Suits double-haul casting techniques. A powerful tool, without sacrificing sensitivity. Takes DT7, DT8 and WF8 and 9 shooting heads. This rod will handle HI-D lines with ease.
10ft #6
The no.1 choice for the Carbotec Kingfisher Team. With a blend of sensitivity and power, it serves as a light-line bank and a first-class boat rod. Will cast a full line with ease, but fishes very well on a short line when boat fishing. Suitable for nymph or dry work with a DT6 or WF7.
10ft #7
BIG SELLER.
This true all-rounder will bank or boat fish, with DT7 or WF8 lines. With its slightly more mellow action it will fish small flies close in, but still has enough power to punch a line across a wind and fish lures at range.
10ft #8
BIG SELLER.
This powerhouse has enough power to punch a line across a wind and fish lures at range.
10.5ft #7
This is the reservoir boat fisherman's first choice. Casts well to cover fish at both short and longer distances with speed and accuracy. Whilst sensitive enough to use with light leaders, this rod still makes a first-class big river rod for sea trout and grilse. Fishes best with a DT6, DT7 or a WF8 line.
MULTI-SECTION fly rods

3-piece - 11ft #7/8
Three-piece rods that perform as well as two-piece. Since its introduction, this range of four rods has exceeded all our expectations. Lighter and more positive than their two-piece cousins, with tremendous tip speed, they are effortless to cast and will fish short or long lines.
4 piece - 8.5ft #5
4 piece - 9ft #5
4 piece - 9ft #6
A very practical range which packs down to under 29 inches. The 8.5ft option is aimed at the river angler and will cover most small to medium river needs, whilst the 9ft is for larger rivers or stillwaters.

5 piece - 11ft 2in #5

MULTI-SECTION RAMBLER fly rod the ultimate travelling rod system
5 piece 7.5ft #4
6 piece 9ft #5/6
A travel rod with sections under 20 inches, which can be both 7.5ft and 9ft (by cleverly interchanging the butt sections). Bob Wellard, Carbotec consultant, enthused about it as soon as he saw it; then went on to land a 9lb salmon on the 9ft. In his opinion the rambler is the complete river rod system.
LONGCAST fly rods
ELITE fast tip action
Building on our success with the CLASSIC range, we have introduced the Elite range to cater for those anglers who prefer a faster tip action. Built using the same LRC carbons and step taper design technology as our CLASSIC range, these lightweight rods are superb casting tools but still fish like a dream. With the blank finished in translucent black with matching black whippings, these rods look simply fantastic.
2 piece Elite 9ft #7
A super lightweight powerhouse. A very fast tip action which is ideal for the angler who needs to stop big trout in difficult surroundings.
2 piece Elite 9.5ft #7/8
3 piece Elite 9.5ft #7/8
A fast-action, lightweight rod for the reservoir angler who wants to double haul and punch a line a long way. It feels very positive in the hand and will set hooks at range, but isn't over stiff and will play fish with ease.
2 piece Elite 10ft #7/8
3 piece Elite 10ft #7/8
Similar in characteristics to the Elite 9.5ft. The 10ft has often been used as a single-handed sea trout or salmon rod.
SALTWATER fly rods fast action
With saltwater fly fishing becoming more and more popular both in the UK and abroad, Carbotec have developed three rods which are quite simply stunning. Again featuring our high-modulus LRC carbon and our revolutionary step taper design, we feel that these rods will compete with any saltwater rods available today. They dismantle down to under 30 inches, so are ideal for travel.
With their fast tip action, these rods have plenty of power to cast long distances and turn over large flies, but are tremendously sporting, with every run and lunge of the fish transmitted to the angler. These rods are ideal for this exhilarating form of angling. All rods are fitted with quality snake guides, and feature a fighting butt.
