Golden Catch X-3 Carp Evolution – Fast, Accurate and Built for Big-Water Carp
Series models: 3.30 m • 3.60 m • 3.90 m (all 3.5 lb test curve)
Engineered for modern long-range tactics
-
High-modulus carbon blank – lightweight yet suitably rigid for punching method feeders or solid PVA bags past the 100-metre mark.
-
Complex/fast action – a quick-recovering mid-tip that loads smoothly into a powerful butt section for effortless distance and positive strike control.
-
SiC guide train with 40 mm butt ring – thin Silicon-Carbide inserts maximise heat dissipation and braid-friendly smoothness; single-leg intermediates keep weight off the tip.
-
Reliable “binding” power – progressive blank design protects light hook-holds close-in yet has the backbone to turn a charging twenty-plus common or grass carp.
-
Hard-wearing EVA/rubber handle – secure in wet conditions, easy to wipe clean after a muddy session.
-
Three-piece construction – folds down to pocket-friendly transport lengths without compromising casting integrity.
-
After-sale support – spare tips and sections available from Golden Catch service.
