This entry level rod is reasonably priced and perfect for newcomers to deadbait fishing. The carbon blank is strong enough for tough predator fish, and the full cork handle keeps the rod light and lets you adjust your grip on the fly. There’s a ‘TC Elite Deadbait’ version with a 2.75lb test curve and a ‘TC Elite Deadbait X’ version with a 3.25lb test curve.

High Quality Blank

The high quality carbon blank comes in a choice of 2.75lb and 3.25lb test curves. They compress well and can handle a double figure pike, even with heavy leads and baits.

Powerful Butt End

This rod offers plenty of power at the butt end for exerting maximum pressure at close quarters, especially when you’re netting a fish making late lunges.

Responsive Tip

Even from a long range, the tip section picks up line very quickly, allowing the power to quickly kick in to set the hook.

Full Cork Handle

The full length cork handle lets you adjust your grip and keep it secure, even when casting and playing fish in bad weather.

Screw-Down Reel Seat

The practical screw-down, DPS-style reel seat is tipped in another section of cork so you can adjust your grip even more on the fly.

Versatile

This rod is ideal for the colder months when predator fishing is at its peak, and the 12ft length means it works in a variety of swims.
