Why Anglers Choose The ESP Onyx Quickdraw

The ESP Onyx Quickdraw Carp Rod is a top-quality fishing rod that offers exceptional performance and functionality. The rod is made from high modulus carbon, which makes it lightweight, responsive, and provides excellent casting capabilities.

The rod comes in five different models with different lengths and test curves, making it suitable for different fishing scenarios.

One of the main benefits of the Quickdraw is its retractable butt section, which allows it to be stored away compactly. The nine-foot model is only 44 inches long when packed away, and the ten-foot model is 50 inches, making it easy to transport to your fishing location and ideal for fishing tight swims.

The rod has six lightweight minima-style stainless guides, which help to reduce friction and ensure that the line flows smoothly. The rod also features a SIC anti-frap tip ring, a moulded ESP line clip, and a DPS reel seat.

The full-length Duplon or EVA handle feels solid and is clearly resistant to wear and tear.

The Onyx Quickdraw Carp Rod is perfect for anglers who want to keep their gear as compact as possible without compromising on performance. The rod has been extensively field-tested for over 18 months, and various anglers have used it to catch carp from different waters, including big French pits.

What eTackle Says About The Rod:

The ESP Onyx Quickdraw is an adaptation of the original Onyx rods by the ESP team. The retractable butt section makes it an ideal option for travelling, stalking, or even as a decent rod for children.

I personally really like the look of the Onyx. It truly is a thing of beauty, and when coupled with its robust build and thoughtful touches throughout, it ticks many of the boxes I look for in a quality carp rod.
