Shimano TX-5 A 13ft 3,5lb Intensity

The TX-5 fits perfectly into the highly regarded Tribal Specimen rod range. One of the best looking carp rods available, it is packed with the latest carbon technology and offers a stunning balance of finesse and performance.
If the look of your rods is as important to you as the performance, you will not be disappointed with the TX-5, they look sensational and will be the envy of others. And the performance is simply amazing.
Remarkably lightweight and slim, the powerful casting performance of the Intensity models will open up a new area to your long-range fishing, whilst the finesse nature of the tip action on all models inspires fish-playing confidence to fully enjoy the experience.

At the heart of the TX-5 is a slim Nanosheet carbon blank which is reinforced with a 3K weave and also contains Biofibre for additional strength. The addition of ultra lightweight PacBay Minima guides enhances the action and tip recovery speed when casting, ensuring you maximise your distance. And if that's not enough, a custom 3K reel seat and a 3K polymer Winn Grip handle complete the rod. What's not to like?
For the ultimate in long range casting go for the 13' Intensity and reach distances you have only dreamed of.
As a combination of looks and performance, the TX-5 reaches new levels and has a feeling of quality that is so often missing in mid-priced rods.
