RECON technology utilises a double retractable butt section and combines this with our VARI-TAPER™ joint. The XTRACTOR+ RECON 8ft rod pack down to only 30 inches and is one of the most versatile carp rods that we have ever produced. It features a longer style handle and 40mm ringing pattern which both aid in casting and fish-playing ability. Like all XTRACTOR+ rods you will find these to have a satisfying progressive action, lending itself perfectly to all forms of carp fishing.
