The XTRACTOR RECON 8ft rod range pack down to only 30 inches while the 12ft models pack down to a mere 50 inches. The XTRACTOR Recon’s are some of the most versatile carp rods that we have produced to date.

The 8ft models feature a longer style handle and 40mm ringing pattern – 50mm for the 12ft range, which both aid in casting and fish-playing ability. Like all XTRACTOR rods you will find these to have a satisfying progressive action lending itself perfectly to all forms of carp fishing.

Of course, at such compact pack-down sizes, these could be the travel carp rods that you have been waiting for but don’t be deceived, the performance of these rods just might convince you to keep a set handy for whenever a fishing opportunity arises.
