"Here at Greys we are over the moon with the X-Flites. We knew it. Now the world knows it. Simply these are lovely, lovely rods. “The pinnacle of modern carp rod design” as one authority has put it. What else have we heard from the bankside? “Rods that set new standards.” “A performance as good as their looks.” “Brilliant casting ability and accuracy.” “A great fish fighter. They just don’t come unstuck but you enjoy every moment.”

Yes, the X-Flites offer all this and more. They’re lovely to look at with their deep-lustred dark olive finish and the snakeskin effect of the micro weave fibre. You can rely on the Fuji SIC rings (which, naturally, are double whipped for strength), the Fuji reel seat and the slim, super-grip reel handle. The laser-etched butt cap discreetly signs off this magnificent rod.

If you’re only up for one set of rods then there’s no point looking any further. With the right lead and line you’ll cast a hundred metres easy. See a fish bubbling in the margins though, you can flick a float to it with delicacy and accuracy. PVA bags. Method feeders. Free lining. There isn’t a method or a water that will catch this model out. In the ‘X’ version you can also have exactly the same rod with an ultra-slim duplon handle as a personal preference option at no extra cost.

X-Flite 12' 3lb
You’re an experienced carp man and you know that the bulk of your fishing is done at medium to long range. It’s casting ability, therefore, that you’re really looking at. So this is probably the rod for you. However, feel safe in the knowledge that if fish are moving close in you’ll still possess the rod to exploit the situation. A rod that’s there for you in pretty well every situation.

X-Flite 12' 3.5lb
We’re moving up to another notch yet again with these truly far-out rods. Thinking France, Spain, Canada? Heavyweight fish. Huge waters. Loaded PVA bags. Yet, you’ve got a rod that’s stunningly slim considering the power you can generate. This is a beast but with an unparalleled amount of beauty."
