Ive got the 10ft 2-piece cat versions and they're lovely stiff rods for punching out livebaits on heavy leads, i bought the 6ft 2-piece 3lber as a matchy matchy carp rod for a bit of margin fishing when the catting slows and its seen more use than my fox 12ft carp rods as its such a handy little rod. 👍👍
I have a trio of the shimano TX lites. Love em. I packed them up tight with medium baitrunners and I dont need anything else ever again.
I just picked up a set of their 6 foot 3lb stalker rods and tested them out over the weekend. Absolutely smashing little rods and plan to use them for some time
For that price surely I can’t go wrong, wow,,,,, well done NGT NICE JOB
Just ordered myself the 11ft ones cant wait to get them on the canal later in the week 👍
Great review! I don't need one, but for the price would be a great travel rod. Gonna have to get one! 😂
superb for the money, nice common Luke 👍👍
I've used the ngt carp stalker rods for years,8ft 2lb tc I use them for carp fishing pike fishing and use just as a extra rod to my greys xflight.but don't mind them getting damaged biking up and down the canal.a review on them would be good!!
Rods look mega! Bit of advice with them jag bobbins mate. The line running through the rubber could damage/cut your line when you get a run. Better off shortening the chain so it comes off.
Cheers for the tip, appreciate that 👌
Some people don't like it to come off.i have them and they are shortened,I use the attx alarms but I know alot who dosnt shorten it and they have never had any problems
I have the ngt profiler extractor 9ft and they do the job had then a few years now paid £20 a rod had my pb this year at 26lb
I own a pair of NGT travel rods 4pc 9ft 50 gram first edition for some years now and they are nice rods. Not just for the money.
I use these shorter rods because of overhanging trees, but still having to cast and/or traveling in a small car - sometimes packed, including wife and kids.
These rods can easely cast a 2.5-3oz / 70-85gr. in a relaxed manner, because they are not intended for long distance fishing, ..unless you're dropping the lead by (...)boat.
I find them a bit stiff for a 50 gram rod. Then again I used them mostly in hook and hold fishing situations (give a little, take some more) on short distance canal carp fishing and caught over 13kg./29 pound carp on them, and I'm sure bigger carp wouldn't be a problem.
Personally I like the 7000 model Fox bait runners I own on these rods. There's 0.30mm. line on them, but for the heavy drilling I spooled more than enough meters 0.40mm. nylon "leader" on these reels. This kind of reel size still feels balanced on these shorter travel rods. But sure, a (NGT) 4000 model reel would do aswell.
..Then, last march I had an issue. I had some hook pulls/bends which over decades I never had with the size 6 Hayabusa H1 hooks I also often use with other type of rods upto 2,5lb. And those 2,5lb. rods I really love and are my actual favourites to use in hook and hold situations if there's room on the bank for 12ft. rods! But still on those hooks: in non hook and hold situations and relaxed drilling fish I actually even use those size 6 hooks with somewhat stiffer but still progressive bending 10ft. 3lb. rods without any problem in the past.
So I had my thoughts...
A) My 2,5lb., 12ft long rods can bend more in a progressive way all through the whole lenght of the rod.
B) ..On the other hand, I didn't have this issue before with the shorter, bit stiffer NGT travel rods in combination with these size 6 hooks fishing the same swims!
B) For safety I used a helicopter set up for the first time this march, instead of a semi run rig with an 85gr. inline lead as I prefer. Only then the problems began.
My solution: After these hook pulls/bends I shortly changed to a size 4 hook, but then changed the whole set up back to an inline semi running rig, a size 6 hook (fish still moved slow because of the cold water temperature, so in my opinion size 4 was to obvious to notice) and all was fine again still using these NGT travel rods...
So I guess (?) it somehow was the combination with the heli rig set up and the lead dangling from another angle towards the hook. But still strange, none the less.
Concluding: Going by plain or on family travel by car (without roof box or trailer) I would defenitly recommend these compact rods. I think they would do for pike fishing with somewhat bigger lures aswell. If you look for, or expect a realy flexible rod just to catch mostly small carp, you're better off buying the even cheaper NGT Carp stalker 8ft. 2.00lb rods, which I own a pair of aswell for some years and caught lovely carp on up to 15lb.
Good fun rods.
This is what I came for, great write up, many thanks 👍
@@richpeas1924 Your welcome.
Does the 9ft have an actual test curve ???
Im thinking of it for hit and hold on a weedy/snaggy backbrook for chub and barbel and there is one or two carp in it as well 🤔🤔🤔
Please do review on the profiler extender rods and the 2 rod holdall. Nice vid mate
Great review, can anyone give the size of the diameter of the spools (both 40 and 60) in mm please?
Ich besitze 2 profiler rollen und bin vom preis Leistung Verhältnis begeistert. Hab sie zum stalken geholt und sie müssen sich nicht hinter daiwa oder Shimano verstecken
There shit, tip snapped when I was pulling me line threw
Can you get a suitcase that's long enough to pack the 11 foot version in?
No, that's bs. The airlines wont allow it, or maybe you can put them in crossways, risking breaking it - I would NOT recommend it. It's a huge no go. 9-10 feeters are still a maybe. Im a frequent traveller, I often have to use 5-6pc exotic or custom rods not quite suited for the job with me.
The holy travellers grail rod is yet to be seen, but 9fter Shimano TXs and this NGT 9er might be close enough.
now they need 3.5tc or higher for travel catfish rods
How can you review a product, catch a fish and not show the playing action or reel drag? Seems ridiculous
NGT stands for Not Good Tackle
😂 just about to say the same 👍
Shocking quality tackle, everything iv ever bought has broke in weeks.
Au contraire, SOME of their stuff is not bad at all. The 3 rod dual line pod for one is cracking. The bank sticks are pretty good and I like the heft. Horses for courses and also depends what you buy!
There is always one that has to say it 😴😴
@@paulmills1335 I thought so too. What did you get and how did it break mate?
@@gregsmith7821 bought a small reel for surface fishing with 2 spools. Took the spool off and couldn't get it on again, something had snapped and it just wouldn't go back on. Totally ruined my wkd away as all the carp were on the top.
Oh yeah what ever you do don't buy the scales, lasted a week 😂
Just save some money and buy better it's worth it in the end 👍
Shockingly shit tackle
