Jarvis Walker Karbonite Rods Buying Guide
There are several models of Karbonite for sale. That’s why we have categorised them into three main types to make choosing the right rod for you easier. Below is short spiel on the light, medium-general and heavier models for sale here at Fishing Tackle Shop.
Light Models: The 662SPXL is a terrific inshore flick stick, ideal for casting smaller soft plastics at everything from flathead to bass. If you need a little more length, the 6102SPXL will deliver the same, but with longer casting potential.
Medium General Inshore Models: The 732SPL and 702SPLM are great all-rounders for inshore river and lake fishing. The 702SPLM is a good option for working closer surf gutters where rod length is not required. Deploy it in the early mornings and late afternoons on a rising-high to just-falling tide for whiting, flathead and bream.
Heavier Models: The 702SPM and 702SPH will suit the light blue water anglers chasing everything from snapper to offshore flathead. Both models deliver versatility for lighter offshore sports work.
The same rods will be equally home to medium-heavy inshore fishing styles. Barra, cod, mangrove jack, river queenfish, school river jew are merely a few we’re rattling off.
