Cadence approached Dave Lane to help design the ultimate carp rod and with no limitations he took two and a half years to develop and thoroughly test his creation, with a number of improvements and refinements being implemented into the build along the way. Changes in various details and testing various rings and reel seats eventually saw the finished product in the form of the Cadence DL40 12ft Dave Lane Carp Rod. Available in three different test curves of 3lb, 3.25lb or 3.5lb – the prize rods are the 3.25lb version, perfect for fishing at medium to long range and able to battle it out with big carp both at home and abroad as Dave has proven on more than one occasion in testing.

One of the most critical decisions to make when building the ultimate rod is the choice of carbon, and this range makes great use of a high modulus carbon in conjunction with a 1k wrap. A high quality blank makes for a more responsive action when casting, combined with improved accuracy. You are also able to create a far thinner blank with the same power as a thicker rod which utilises a lesser quality material.

As a regular user of braid for the majority of his fishing, it was important for Dave to source guides that would be of benefit when looking to avoid any unwanted frapping issues, as braid can be susceptible to wind knots. This is where the Fuji K Alconite guides come into play, as their unique leg positioning and forward facing design mean line frapping is a thing of the past. They are also extremely light and robust, allowing the angler to wind up for a really big cast with no fear of any unwanted occurrences. The combination of the lightweight blank and fittings also helps hugely with generating a fast tip speed to dispatch your leads to the horizon.

The 3.25lb rods are fitted with 40mm butt rings and an ALPS reel seat, and not only does this particular fitting look stylishly modern, it also uses a double lock screw feature, which ensures your reels will never slip under any circumstance.

“I have used these rods to great effect, landing my new PB carp of 58lb 12oz. If you are looking for a rod for life, I genuinely believe this is it.”
