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 = £145.00 BUY & 6.5ft #4 = £150.00 BUY
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.

ROD OF THE MONTH 7ft #4 = £152.00 BUY
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 = £160.00 BUY
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 = £165.00 BUY
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 = £168.00 BUY
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 = £179.00 BUY
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 = £189.00 BUY
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 = £189.00 BUY 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 = £189.00 BUY
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 = £199.00 BUY
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 = £199.00 BUY 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.

This powerhouse has enough power to punch a line across a wind and fish lures at range.

10.5ft #7 = £215.00 BUY
