Harrison Rods Trebuchet Carp Rods

Trebuchet is our distance range. Named after the medieval siege engine that threw rocks against castle defences, the Trebuchet rod is a rod clearly focussed on long range.

Sweet spot in the range is the 13′ Trebuchet Light which dials back a little of the power in the standard Trebuchet to make it easier to load up during casting. Capable of over 200 yards on a casting field and used for fishing above 150 yards.

In the "Light" I  have built a touch  more "springiness" into the butt, and this makes the rod feel very alive. It also makes it a little less demanding on technique and timing. The tip has also been modified from the original Trebuchet, but very slightly as I want to keep the tip speed as high as possible to keep the maximum distance casting potential. Construction is using low resin, high modulus carbon with lightweight carbon scrims, plus a 3k fabric finish in the lower half.

In addition to the ease of casting, this new rod will also have a little more "playability" when you get a fish.
