Cardiff Exlead Competition
Cardiff Exlead Competition stands out as the most sensitive trout rod range on the market. Developed by our top consultants to suit every trout fishing technique, this premium rod range takes full advantage of Shimano’s advanced carbon technology. Also ideal for ultra-light bait fishing for smaller predators, the Cardiff Exlead Competition range is a masterpiece of lightweight construction.
Cardiff EXLEAD rods are designed for competition trout anglers who value subtle details that deliver a winning fishing experience. Despite their undeniable sensitivity and lightweight construction, they cast lures with incredible precision, allowing you to catch fish with impeccable accuracy.
The ultra-light blanks of the Cardiff EXLEAD rods feature Spiral X carbon core technology combined with Nanopitch technology. These advanced carbon technologies reduce the twisting of the blank when the rod is bent during casting or playing fish, resulting in greater accuracy and smoother cushioning during the fight. The 60SULS model features a glued-in Taftec Infinity tip, which helps to play the bait and feel even the lightest touches. As you would expect from such a high-quality rod, the fittings are top-notch. You will find a combination of lightweight Shimano X-Guide Titanium guides and Fuji SiC Titanium K-type guides, with the exclusive, ultra-light and ergonomic Shimano Ci4+ reel seat and a carbon butt section for maximum sensitivity and vibration transmission. Each model is designed for a specific application, bait and fishing technique. The Cardiff Exlead Competition range includes rods suited to literally every circumstance.
