Fantastic value paired with stunning performance

The TX-4 stands as a testament to SHIMANO’s commitment of delivering fantastic value paired with stunning performance within its price category. Carp anglers in search of a rod range that effortlessly casts impressive distances, offers superb fish-playing actions, and doesn't break the bank need look no further than the TX-4.

A rod for every occasion

TX-4 has a rod for every occasion and every preference. For those seeking long-range capabilities, the TX-4 Intensity models emerge as true powerhouses, reaching fish at extended distances, whilst the 12’ (3.66m) models strike a perfect balance between power and playability. Alternatively, anglers focused on close and mid-range fishing on smaller waters, or fishing from a boat where shorter rods are more practical, will appreciate the 10’ (3.05m) and the even shorter 9’ (2.74m)  Stalker model, both designed with dynamic fish-playing actions that inspire confidence and enhance overall enjoyment.

Visually stunning  with performance to match

Constructed on Full Carbon blanks with High Pressure Carbon (HPC) technology, the TX-4 also benefits from Biofibre reinforcing, Diaflash enhancement, and the inclusion of T1100G high modulus carbon in the tip section. The result is a visually stunning rod range that maximises the performance potential of every casting technique and ability. The Intensity models have demonstrated impressive casts well in excess of 200 yards, but what truly sets the TX-4 apart are its tips, offering a rare combination of response, forgiveness, and cushioning not typically found in mid-priced long-range rods. Fitted with Seaguide Zirconia guides and a visually striking 3K carbon weave Shimano reel seat featuring a small front EVA grip, the slim shrink grip handle incorporates an in-built rest stopper for added security.

The TX-4 fits perfectly into the middle of the Tribal TX rod range and reinforces SHIMANO’s ability to design carp rods that anglers of all abilities, and all budgets, will be proud to own.
