Trakker Defy Rods 10ft

Founded in the early 1990s, Trakker Products was set up to create tackle that is both high in quality and innovation. All Trakker fishing tackle is designed and produced in the UK so it truly caters to the UK anglers and it is still focussed on producing top quality, innovative shelters, luggage, chairs, beds, and barrows – essentially everything you need with you to make your carp fishing experience comfortable and relaxing.

 The 10ft Defy Rods offer increased mobility, allowing you to tackle more confined swims with ease. Built with High-Performance Carbon Technology, the Defy collection of 10ft rods boasts Japanese pre-preg Toray Carbon fibres for a powerful, strong and robust blank that are super for when tackling larger bodies of water from a boat. These Trakker rods are a delight to use and look the part too, with a distinctive reverse-carbon outer.

Measuring just 10ft in length, the Trakker Defy makes the perfect rod for a multitude of angling situations, whether you are specialist fishing from the bank in close quarters where casting space is limited, or from your fishing boat where a longer rod can be cumbersome and awkward. Boat fishing benefits from a shorter, more compact rod such as this 10-footer for when lowering rigs onto spots. The length is also great if you’re simply fishing on a smaller venue as the shorter rod puts you in greater control. The middle-to-tip action of the Defy rods is perfect for all-round use at the bank.

The shorter length of the Trakker Defy is a bonus as it takes up significantly less room during transit, so not only are they perfect for fishing from a swim on land but are compact for storage. The unpacked rod fits perfectly in the supplied Trakker black nylon carry bag to protect the blanks and guides from any damage.

The rod is available in two test curves: 3.5lb and 3lb. The 3.5lb TC version of the Defy has a stiffer through-action that puts you in control of the fight with a stubborn carp, while the lighter 3lb test curve has a more forgiving action, lending itself perfectly for playing powerful fish at close range.

Sporting a Fuji DPS reel seat, the rod fits a variety of reels and is finished with a gunsmoke black hood which matches the guides, collars and butt cap. The guides are low friction Zirconia with an anti-frap ring to give you assured confidence when committing to each and every bold cast. The butt ring is 50mm to allow for more control and precision.

The abbreviated handle of the Defy rod shapes a compact flared butt with a gunsmoke aluminium butt cap and gives balance to the rods feel. The Trakker Defy rod is lastly finished off with discreet and understated cosmetics to remains stylish for the modern angler.
