Preston Innovations is proud to introduce the next generation of long rods specifically designed for carp fishing in Europe. The STR series is based on the blank of our Euro Carp series, allowing complete compatibility for previous owners of the tip while benefiting from the latest carbon technology to produce rods that are simply a pleasure to use. The series consists of 5 rods that share the same blank, making them fully interchangeable, as well as a brand new generation of head kits. The goal in developing this series was: comfort, performance, balance, compatibility, and precision – all these elements have been achieved to create our best European rod series of all time! We have developed new head kits for the Euro Carp STR rods, with the key design concept being simplicity! In this sense, the head kits for each rod in the series are identical, so whether you purchase the 8.5m Edge rod or the flagship STR 1300 model, you can be assured that the head kits are identical, high quality, and fully interchangeable. The range includes 2 models with a length of 290 cm in black or gray, a 3-piece version of 440 cm is also available in black for deeper waters, as well as a short 1-piece kit of 185 cm that can be extended to 290 cm with the short kit extension. Each head kit features depth markings at 1 cm intervals, which are crucial for adjusting depths, weight patterns, and the distance between the float and the connector.
