    I'm in no way a rod expert..

    ACS will have the insight on rod building from two experts Dr. Harrison and Nick Buss..

    Dr. Harrison has agreed to do a section on our upcoming website on carp rods and advancments in rod making over the last decade or so..

    My guess on the blank is to agree with Brian, it's two sections matched to their respective TC's But with todays advancements in wraps and resins? It's likely the same blank just the butts section gets some added stiffness compared to the tip section.

    For the main intent of fishing the method or PVA bags seems the best of both worlds to me? A soft tip for delivery and fish playing. Along with the bit of extra power via the butt section for casting?

    Nick Buss was kind enough to pro-type a set(not for sale :D ) for the rod builders we are using. Nick was impressed with the blank.

    As for off loading extra sections :D .. I seriously doubt that makes much business sense? Harrison rods very much wants to have a presence in the USA market.

    Paul,

    I'll try and get an actual TC once I get one built. My guess is it will fall between 3 and 3 1/4.. :D

    ACS approached Dr. Steve Harrison of Harrison rods with a certain criteria. A rod that could handle the method or PVA bags well and also play a fish well. This is the combination he came up with?. This blank was designed for the USA market and is not available in the UK.

    I personally have fished with Harrisons for 3 years now and absolutley love them. Both at 3.25 and 3.5 TC.. I've compared these rods to some 2.75'TCs and the Harrisons are softer? Harrison blanks tend to have a nice through action which will also aid in the above mentioned style of fishing.

    Yes, 2.5 TC's are nice to play fish on.. But that wasn't the only criteria we were after...

    Planning on meeting with the rod builders Friday or early next week. Blanks are on the way from the UK..

    Should know more in the next week or so??.. about the time frame they will be done.

    I've had several inquire about reserving a rod.. No problem. We are only doing 30 rods this time around.

    If you want to reserve 1 to 3 rods send me an email. dave@americancarpsociety.com

    3 lbs TC tip section 3 1/4 TC butt section, 12 ft rod they will be black with standard black duplon handles. 6 eyes and the tip

    Decided to keep everything simple this first go around. Maybe the next series we can do cork or baitcasting? The cost just goes up too much to try and tweak each rod..

    Soon as I have more info I'll let you know.. Once I have a sample I'll take a photo to post here..

    Cheers,

    David

    About 30 seconds later the spod starts raining down right near them to keep my swim baited up.. :D

    This happened sometime fall of 1993...

    A friend of mine asked me to go carp fishing on the Arkansas River in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I reluctantly agreed :D My good friend Fred Lander had gone by the day before and thrown out some sweet corn and old water soaked loaves of bread the day before.. You could see all the fish cruising around in the 6-8lbs range everywhere at this low water dam.

    I was told by Fred to only bring a spinning reel he would loan me a rod.?. When we show up he has a tube which contained a type of rod I had never seen before.. A quiver tip? What I would explain as a heavy duty fly rod very sensitive tip that would indicate a bite. Feeders?..what do I use that for? WHy we using a size 6 hook Fred? :D We absolutely hauled that day using A weird kind of corn as bait "Pesciviva?" :D My arm ached and my mind was racing??..why am I fishing for bass?..when I can go catch these all day? Knew at that point things would be different. Fred also introduced me to this new group "Carp Anglers Group" something he saw in In-fisherman? Think I was member 144??

    Around 1994 Fred had some alarms and a pod..predator rod and shimano 3500 baitrunner reels.?. After many hours of expereimenting I had somewhat figured out how it worked..

    After catching probably hundreds of carp and having a PB of just over 10 lbs I decided I'd like to try for something bigger..

    Hominy CAG fishin '97 I had my first 20+.. :D Things at that moment in time would definitely redefine who I was as an Angler. Bass fishing? Why would I ever do that again? :D I was bit in a bad way with the "Big Carp" bug. I've yet to find a cure.. :D
