Greys prodigy plus carp rods.

The prodigy is famous for providing a truly durable and powerful rod at a great price.

So how is it possible to improve one of the all time great carp blanks? Make it slimmer, Lighter, and add
more power? Well, all three of these feats have been achieved by using an even higher grade of carbon 
and an improved mandrel design. The end result is a rod that is not only slimmer and lighter but also even
more power despite its slimmed down diameter making it a serious performer.
It’s also been given a fresh new look consisting of a molded soft touch CAD designed reel seat.
This has been designed with ergonomics in mind having a split thread underneath making it exceptionally
comfortable and easy to use; it also has room for an isotope slot on the top making rod location at night simple.
Available in 12' 2.75lb, 3lb and 3.5lb.

Greys X-Flite+50 carp rods

New addition to the Greys carp rod range. Not only does it differ cosmetically to the existing X-flite,
but the blank has a slight taper change to help further increase the power in the butt section - despite
being slightly lighter than the original X-Flite.
Perfect for achieving greater distances especially when using PVA bags and Stringers at range.
This is further aided with the addition of the new 50mm butt guides and new ringing pattern of 
50, 40, 30, 20, 16 14 perfect for big pit reels and heavy shock leaders.
These are superb rods that are much sought after as they are absolute quality and offer pure fishing
performance.

New Greys Torsion 50 carp rods.

Brand new this year, the slimmest, lightest blank in the Greys carp range. First impressions last,
but performance is proof. Take one look at the new Torsion carp rod and it's strikingly slim; pick
the rod up and it's amazingly light and well balanced. Cast the rod and it becomes immediately
apparent that the rod has massive reserves of power, more than happy with big leads and PVA bags
yet surprisingly still has that all important feel under the rod tip during the crucial last moments of the fight.

Gone are the days of super slim blanks that just don't perform; this time Greys have really pushed the
limits of physics. For those anglers really wanting to hit the horizon there is a 50mm butt available on
models 3lb and higher. In summary the new Greys Torsion is quite simply the slimmest, lightest and best
performance carp that we have ever produced. That's some statement when you've been producing rods for over 40 years! Lifetime warranty.  Quite simply the best carp rods money can buy.

We stock these in 12' 3lb  and   12'  3.25lb
