REACT - 10FT - 3.50LB

The Avid Carp REACT 10FT 3.50LB is a premium two-piece carp rod designed for anglers who prefer a shorter rod with a compact transport length. Thanks to the lightweight and responsive 1K carbon blank with parabolic action, this rod excels when fishing at short range, from a bait boat, and in situations where precise control during the fight is essential.

The 3.50 lb version is the more powerful of the two REACT models, offering extra backbone for longer casts, heavier lead weights, and controlled playing of fish through or around weed. At the same time, the blank remains responsive and progressive. Equipped with high-quality components such as American Tackle Ti-Forged Air guides, a ceramic anti-tangle tip ring, and a Fuji DPS reel seat, the REACT is fully prepared for modern carp fishing.

Compact two-piece design

The REACT is designed for anglers who want a short carp rod combined with a compact transport length. Despite the full length of 10 ft, the pack-down length is only about 127 cm. This makes the rod easy to carry and especially practical for mobile anglers or situations where limited luggage space is a factor.

• Full length of 10 ft
• Two-piece construction
• Transport length of approximately 127 cm
• Compact to carry
• Practical for mobile carp fishing

3.50LB for extra power

Within the REACT series, the 3.50 lb version is intended for anglers who need more power than the softer 3 lb variant offers. The extra backbone is useful when casting heavier lead weights, reaching greater distances, and playing carp in waters with a lot of weed.

• Test curve of 3.50 lb
• More backbone than the 3 lb version
• Suitable for heavier lead weights
• More power for longer casts
• Extra control when playing fish through weed

Parabolic 1K carbon blank

The REACT 10FT 3.50LB features a lightweight and responsive blank with 1K carbon wrap. The parabolic action ensures the rod bends progressively during the fight, maintaining plenty of feel and control as the fish comes close.

This combination makes the rod suitable for intense fights at short range and from a bait boat, while the 3.50 lb test curve provides enough power for situations demanding extra strength.

Ideal for bait boat fishing and short range

The compact 10 ft length makes the REACT especially practical from a bait boat. A shorter blank is easier to manoeuvre when a fish comes close to the boat and also offers advantages when precisely positioning rigs.

• Suitable for fishing from a bait boat
• Easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces
• Great control at short range
• Ideal for close-quarter fights
• Handy when a traditional 12 ft rod is too long

American Tackle Ti-Forged Air guides

The rod is equipped with American Tackle Ti-Forged Air guides in a configuration from 50 mm to 16 mm. These premium guides complement the light and responsive character of the blank and support smooth line flow during casting.

• American Tackle Ti-Forged Air guides
• 50 mm starter guide
• 16 mm tip guide
• Designed for smooth line flow
• Premium finish

16 mm ceramic anti-tangle tip guide

The 16 mm tip guide features a ceramic insert and an anti-tangle design. This construction helps reduce the chance of the line wrapping around the tip during the cast and provides a smooth contact surface for the line.

Fuji DPS reel seat

For reliable reel attachment, the REACT is fitted with an 18 mm Fuji DPS reel seat. The Gunsmoke finish matches the other metal details on the rod and contributes to the understated premium look.

• Fuji DPS reel seat
• Diameter: 18 mm
• Gunsmoke finish
• Secure attachment for the carp reel

Shrink wrapped handle

The handle is fully finished with shrink wrap and has a flared butt. The slightly flared end provides extra grip during casting and playing fish. A conical Gunsmoke butt cap completes the finish.
