A rod that as stood the test of time, been around for well over a decade, through action a joy to play carp on. A mixture of various carbons depending on what model you choose.

It was one of the first slimmer modern over fit rods and has been around for 14 years. It has proven ultra reliable. The lay up is a mixture of two or three carbons depending on the blank. Two materials gives what we call Compression/Tension Balance. In practical terms this means the rods have massive power without being over stiff. The rods will cast well with light leads and handle fish close in but there are rods in the extensive range that will cast great distance with 4ounce plus.

For example, Kurt Grabmyer won the world carp championship using 13' 4lb Ballista rods which allowed him to reach a feature no one else could reach.

The range consists of 12' 2.5lb, 2.75lb, 3lb, 3.25ln, 12'6 3.25lb, 3.5lb, 13' 3lb, 3.5lb, 4lb.

Made In the UK!

Ballista Slim is like a hybrid of Multi Carp and Ballista. The tapers are like Multi Carp, but the power extends into the Ballista range with 12' 2.75lb and 3lb.

These rods are at the best in medium range fishing where their action is a joy to use and their fish playing power legendary. Low diameter rods can have the power to cast distance, but greater accuracy will be achieved with a larger diameter rod at distances over 100yds.

This is to do with the control of torsion or twist during casting. For smaller waters ringed with a 30mm ring set these rods are hard to beat for pure fishing pleasure.

Chimera has been our best selling Harrison range for some time. It introduced the two weave concept to the carp market, which both aids performance and looks. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, this rod has been seriously flattered as it has been copied time and time by other companies. The looks are not so hard to copy but the action is a bit trickier. The Chimera is a forgiving rod compared to some on the market yet it casts as well as many stiffer rods, but has the elasticity to soak up any last lunges of a big fish close in. If there is such a thing as a good all round carp rod, then the 12’ 3lb

Chimera is it. The 12’ 3 ½ is an awesome distance machine that is not for everyone but the 3 ¼ offers the best of both worlds, a distance rod that anyone can enjoy using. Chimera rods are fitted with Kigan Zirconium rings as standard, with Fuji Sic or size 50 rings an option. Other options include full handle. Full custom builds are offered by our Custom Shop partners.

Torrix is the latest Steve Harrison designed Carp Rod series. It utilises new tapers and new materials to produce fantastic performance at low diameter and weight. The butt and tip utilise two different carbon fibres in the zero axis to achieve low down casting power with forgiving no lock-up characteristics in the middle and tip. At ninety degrees is a ribcage of super lightweight carbon which controls the rod in compression. How the carbon performs in compression is as important in a bending rod as the way the fibres perform in tension.

We aim for a design which balances the compression and tension performance to optimise the balance between casting and playing fish. The butt of the rod is given a surface ply of 1k carbon fabric which strengthens the rod, improves hoop strength and reduces torque. It looks pretty good too!

Most popular model is the 12’ 3 ¼ which will cast distance effortlessly in real world conditions and has produced close to 200yds on a casting field. New out is the 12’ 3 ½ which can achieve those extra few yards yet is still a very slim and light rod. Its also the most reliable rod series we have ever made.

The standard rod is fitted with double leg Fuji 40 Sic ring set, Fuji DNPS 20 and slim shrink rubber abbreviated butt. And Harrison rod building is famous. We designed this as the ultimate carp rod with the best blank and the best fittings. People who have bought the rod tell us we achieved our aim. The rod and blank are made here in the UK, so why settle for less?

We thought it was time we produced a rod that would outcast all-comers. Trebuchet is what we came up with.

This is a rod that in the right hands will cast over 200yds without wind assistance. Available during 2006 in 12’ and 13’. Average casters will produce greater distance with Chimera and Torrix, but Trebuchet rewards the best casters with the ultimate distance
