Other fishing series ratings:
10. Fox Warrior
Average cost - 7 199 rubles.
A very good line at a not too high price. It contains both markers and spods. The Warrior S range is ultralight. The manufacturer decided to reduce the price due to the lack of external decorations, which did not affect the quality in any way. The Fox Warrior CTS line is specially designed for Russia, and features an increased casting range.
9. Jaxon Black Arrow Carp
Average price - 2000 rubles.
The Black Arrow series from the Polish company Jaxon is the result of the development of the Cantara and Harmony series, only in a more elegant and technological version. The three-piece and cheapest carp rod is highly durable due to its composite construction.
8. Salmo Diamond Carp
The average cost is 2,588 rubles.
Latvian three-piece fishing rod at a budget price (quite light for its size). She has sufficient rigidity and sufficient transmission, the shape of the blank is medium.
7. Mikado Amberlite Medium Carp
The average price is 4,107 rubles.
A three-piece, robust composite rod with a springy tip and slight blank deflection. Build medium-fast.
6. Volzhanka Sazan

One of the best carp rods in the rating is designed for coastal fishing with a feeder or a heavy load up to 200 g. Powerful, reliable carbon fiber model with an ultra-fast action and good balance. High strength allows rough handling without fear of breaking or damage. However, some may find it heavy, and thin cords cannot be used with it.
5. Daiwa Windcast Rod
Price, on average - 6 250 rubles.
With an average price category, the rod has very good working qualities, which made it popular in the post-Soviet market. It is quite versatile, it can work in different conditions, while the casting is accurate and it is convenient to fish out the fish.
4. Sportex Z Carp
In stores it costs an average of 27,720 rubles.
Despite the high test (3.75lb.), The rod is very comfortable, with a wide grip, accurate and strict casting. The rod seems to consist of two different blanks - under a light load it behaves like a parabolic, but at a higher load it becomes stiff and powerful. The fishing is comfortable, the fish feels good, it is easy to control it. Nice addition: 10 year warranty. We can say that this is one of the best carp rods. But not the best because of the high cost.
3. Catapult Spod
It is sold, on average, for 10,850 rubles.
German made two-piece rod made of carbon fiber. The action is semi-parabolic, six rings, the first one is half a centimeter in diameter, which makes it a powerful feeding rod and helps to increase the casting distance. The rod is lightweight and practically does not cause fatigue, even during long fishing trips. Like other rods in this series, it has a wide grip, which is convenient for fishermen of all sizes.
2. Sonik SKS
It is offered, on average, for 8,945 rubles.
The strong and lightweight carbon fiber carp rod guarantees high precision and casting distance with minimal effort. The build, although parabolic, but quickly returns after the throw, excellent balance. One of the best for its price category. True, all of the above applies to Korean production, not Chinese.
1. Banax Helicon Carp
The average cost is 3,920 rubles.
Topping the 2018 carp rods rating is a very durable yet lightweight three-piece model made of high modulus graphite. The put over knee joint principle gives the rod excellent balance, transmission and casting precision. The rubber grip does not allow the hand to slip, and the reel is trouble-free and virtually indestructible. There are four models in the line, differing in length and test power.
Length and test are not specified for all items. In 6 position, it is not clear why thin cords cannot be used. The casting range is not clear by the weight of the rig. In position 1, the presence of a coil is indicated, it is not clear whether it is included in the price and the kit or not, as well as what kind of coil and what characteristics and there is no photo of it.
