Rive Magic Specimen 3.60m 160g

The Magic Specimen series from the French manufacturer Rive is specially designed for method feeder fishing, targeting large and very large carp. The blanks feature a larger diameter and oversized first guides. The range includes three rods in different lengths and casting powers (3.30m, 3.60m and 3.90m). These rods combine exceptional power with surprisingly low weight, making them ideal for comfortable big-fish sessions and long-distance fishing, including strong-flowing rivers.
With unmatched strength, the Magic Specimen rods offer a fast-progressive action, allowing effortless control of fish exceeding 10kg. Thanks to the SeaGuide micro-ceramic guides, overall rod weight is reduced while ensuring smooth line flow, eliminating unwanted loops and allowing long, accurate casts with heavy feeders — a major advantage during competitions or when targeting record-size fish from deep pits or turbulent rivers.

The Rive Magic Specimen Distance 3.90m is built for demanding feeder anglers seeking the perfect balance between functionality, weight and quality. It is recommended for feeders up to 180g (loaded) at distances of 70–100m. Shock absorption is uniform along the entire blank, and the reinforced joints ensure increased durability during heavy battles.
The blank is made from high-modulus Japanese HM carbon, offering low weight and high elasticity — ideal for long-distance fishing with heavy feeders on lakes or powerful rivers. These rods are considered perfect for targeting very large carp on lakes or huge barbel on rivers due to their outstanding behaviour under load.
The Webo DPS screw-locking reel seat is compatible with most reel foot sizes available in the market. The full natural cork handle with anti-slip treatment ensures excellent grip even with wet or sweaty hands. The rod comes with three carbon quiver tips: 3oz, 4oz and 5oz.
