The
CARAN X was designed to fill a real gap in the market — a compact, high-performance
travel rod that meets the demands of
exotic saltwater fishing.
Built in 4 sections and short enough to fit easily inside a
standard 28-inch suitcase,
the CARAN X is ready to follow you anywhere in the world. The CARAN X shares many features with the TARPON X, but comes in a shorter length, specifically designed to make casting from a boat easier. At 7'6", it delivers greater maneuverability and optimal agility in tight spaces — without sacrificing power or performance.
Perfect for
lure casting (poppers, stickbaits, hardbaits, casting jigs, flappers)
and
live bait fishing, this rod is ideal for targeting powerful species such as
Trevally,
small Tuna,
Roosterfish, and
Snapper & Barracuda.
Constructed from
24T + 30T high-modulus carbon and reinforced with
1K woven carbon fiber, the CARAN X combines
strength, flexibility, and lightness.
Each section is carefully engineered to provide a seamless, continuous bend — delivering an impressive
10 kg (22 lb) dry lift capacity. Few travel rods in this class can match its power-to-weight ratio.
Shorter and more agile than the Tarpon X, the CARAN X is made for
boat fishing where
maneuverability in tight spaces is key. Every detail is designed for
efficiency, durability, and control — no unnecessary frills, just pure performance. But over all, fit in suitcase, airplane safe.
