5 Things To Know

This is the 10ft, 4.5lb test curve spod rod, built to launch loaded spods up to 6.5oz (180g) with fast tip speed.
Built for carp anglers who want a portable, affordable spod rod and value packing small over maximum distance.
The retractable butt section packs the rod to 50 inches (127cm), suiting travelling anglers who rove between swims.
Accept that a 10ft retractable rod will not match a non-retractable 12-footer for outright range, the trade-off for its compactness.
It is featured in our best fishing rods for beginners guide.

Product Information

The Onyx Quickdraw (ESP) is a budget retractable spod rod with a high-modulus carbon blank, a 10-foot length and a 4.5lb test curve, built for portability – it packs down to 50 inches (127cm) via a retractable butt section.

It is built to launch loaded spods up to 6.5oz (180g) with fast tip speed.

Features include a full-length EVA handle, a simple DPS-style reel seat and six lightweight Minima-style stainless guides running 40mm down to a 12mm SiC anti-frap tip. It trades outright casting distance for compactness and value.
