ESP Quickdraw 4K Retractable rods
The new ESP Quickdraw 4K retractable rods are built on high modulus blanks with a crisp responsive action and feature a 3K woven finish on the butt and a lighter 1K finish on the tip – hence the name 4K.
The full-length hard grade EVA handles are ultra slim and are a perfect snug fit in the largest of the ESP Mini Butt Grips. The handles feature a laser etched butt cap and a black DPS reel seat with a neat flared burnt cork trim above the handle to provide a classic, understated custom built look.
The rods include our bespoke moulded line clips which provide the optimum level of grip on the mainline without any damage. These clips provide extra resistance on a take and you can sometimes hear that satisfying ‘crack’ as the line exits the clip with a carp going in the opposite direction!
The 4K’s have lightweight stainless twin leg guides with a 40mm butt down to a 12mm tip. The tip guide has an anti-frap frame with a slick Sic ceramic.
There are four 10 foot models in the range and they are available in test curves of 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 and a 4.5lb spod / marker rod.
The 3.0lb model is perfect for smaller venues and for stalking and is perfect for the angler that likes a mellow playing action but still with plenty of reserves of power in the butt.
The 3.25lb is the perfect all-rounder, from fishing under the rod tips to launching a lead into the distance. It has enough power to bully fish in thick weed while still retaining a comfortable playing action.
The 3.5lb is a real powerhouse and the rod for consistent distance casting, using PVA bags or for fishing on the continent, especially when using a boat when the shorter length can be a huge advantage compared with a 12’ rod.
The 4.5lb spod / marker performs best for distance spodding when combined with a midi spomb which weighs about 6oz when full. This will provide optimum compression of the blank to achieve maximum distance. Of course, larger spods can be used at short to medium range. The blank is also an excellent transmitter when leading around and feature finding.
As well as being excellent performers when it comes to catching carp, another big advantage of the 4K’s is their compact packdown length of just 50”. This makes them perfect for small vehicles especially when combined with the Quickdraw rod sleeves which provide ample protection and make multiple rods and accessories easy and comfortable to carry.
The Quickdraw 4K’s also offer excellent value for money, check out the RRP’s in the post but these blanks, the build quality and the finish are of a standard you would normally expect to find with a much higher price tag
