SHIMANO TRIBAL TX 5A

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?
There are six models in the range, which will cover all of your fishing. Two 10' models are designed for small waters or boat fishing and come with either a 3.00lb or Intensity action. This is the first Intensity action we have made in a 10' length and although short in length it can cast a 4oz lead over 200 yards! There are three 12' models, including a distance busting Intensity, but 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.

FEATURES

NANO SHEET
Shimano NANO carbon is a technology which is used to build rod blanks which are on average 35% stronger and 15% lighter than a conventional rod blank. The heart of a NANO rod blank is made of a NANO carbon sheet. This sheet has a special weave which allows to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. This creates the lightness, strength and responsiveness in the blank.

HPC_RD
HPC (HIGH PRESSURE CARBON)
Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.
