This entry was posted on 4th June, 2019

The Wychwood Extricator MLT range covers all aspects of your carp fishing and offers classic styling. Whether you prefer to sit behind your rod pod, or you favour a mobile approach there is a rod in the range for you.

The classic styling of the Extricator MLT rods is characterised by the high-grade cork handle which incorporates a high-quality unlocking screw DPS style reel seat and compliments the charcoal grey blank beautifully.

The multi-modulus blank itself is ultra slim and sports an anti-glare finish ensuring margin carp are not alerted to your presence and subsequently spooked. Lined along the blank are SVT braid friendly ring guides, supporting the rings themselves which are also braid friendly. The base of the blank displays typically understated Wychwood branding and graphics and is complete with a line-friendly line clip.

The MLT range is comprised of four rods, the first of which is a traditional 12ft floater, designed with, as the name suggests, surface fishing in the summer sun in mind. The powerful multi-layered 2.25lb blank has been engineered to withstand large surface carp, the 12ft length gives you enhanced casting ability, allowing you to surface fish at distance.

The next rod in the range is the 10ft variant, offering a hybrid between the traditional 12ft and a stalking rod, equally adept on a rod pod fishing up to 100 yards and stalking during a mobile session, the reduced length pays dividends in tight knit swims with over-hanging trees. The rod was originally developed for boat work, due to demand on the continent, but its hybrid properties have contributed to the success of the MLT 10ft rod in the UK.

Similarly, to the 10ft rod, the 9ft rod offers the same flexibility with smaller waters in mind, perfect for fishing to a feature less than 100 yards out from a tight swim.

The final rod in the range is a 6ft rod for the stalking purists, built to extract carp from the margins, the 6ft Extricator has been known to land 40lb carp with minimal fuss. This can be attributed to the re-designed multi-layered blank which provides high-octane fights at close range.
