The new Riot range of rods - what's new for 2024?

Wednesday 25th September 2024, 15:09PM General

Bringing great value and performance to carp anglers, regardless of whether it’s their first time fishing or they’re a seasoned veteran – Riot is all about ensuring hassle-free, fun fishing without compromise.

The latest series of rods to bear the Riot name covers the widest array of fishing style so far, with short, medium and long distance fishing, close-range stalking, mobility angling and feature finding all catered for.

With premium-level components such as ULW (Ultra Light Weight) guides, Japanese shrink wrap plus 1K carbon design touches to add a premium look, these rods punch far above their weight when it comes to value and performance, and elevate the Riot name to new heights.

Riot Carp rods

The Mk2 Riot range of carp rods offer improved performance over their predecessors, combined with the features and low-key cosmetics you would normally only find on premium priced rods. The Riot range has evolved with some major advances in weight, balance, blank diameter, power and action.

The satin black, none-reflective finish of the high modulus carbon blank bring a minimalist look, sporting a 1k machine cut line clip and a DPS screwlock reel seat. Japanese shrink wrap with a subtle flared butt for improved grip, plus a lazer-etched butt cap finishes the handle, features that carry throughout the entire series.

ULW (Ultra Light Weight) guides feature throughout, with 12ft and 13ft models sporting 50mm butt guides. An oversized 16mm anti-frap tip helps to eliminate an chance of crack offs, frap ups and weed jams, giving you more confidence whatever the conditions to cast further and more accurately.

Tuned actions help to offer a rod to suit the users needs perfectly; AR (All-Rounder) offers you the best of both worlds, allowing you the forgiveness in the tip and mid-section, with plenty of power in reserve closer to the butt, while XD (Extra Distance) is a much faster action, focused towards powerful casting situations and solid bag fishing where a stiffer middle and butt section is required to generate power.

 

  • High Modular 24T Carbon blank
  • 50mm ULW casting efficient guides (12ft/13ft only)
  • Anti-Frap tip guide
  • Robust DPS reel seat
  • Japanese full Shrink-wrapped handle
  • Machined 1k carbon line clip
  • Dedicated playing & casting actions
  • Understated cosmetics

Riot Recoil 

Part of the new Riot rod range, Recoil models are optimised as the go-to rod for opportunist fishing, offering all the capabilities of a full-length rod but in a compact packdown length.

This compact series of rods features a telescopic butt section that combines with a short tip section, making them easy to transport when your vehicle is tight on space, if you're taking public transport, or just when you want a rod that will be less cumbersome to store.

With a choice of overall lengths, test curves, and AR (All Rounder) and XD (Extra Distance) actions spread through the range, Riot Recoil rods are capable of doing just about everything your 2-piece carp rods can do but without any transport limitations;

  • High Modular 24T Carbon blank
  • ULW casting efficient guides
  • 40mm butt guide on 9ft rods/50mm butt guide on 10ft rods
  • Anti-Frap tip guides
  • Robust DPS reel seat
  • Japanese full Shrink-wrapped handle
  • Machined 1k carbon line clip

 

Riot Extricator

Riot Extricator rods are designed for when you need to get up close and personal, stalking carp in the margins and tackling intimate waters.

Across the range you'll find range ultra-slim through action (TA) blanks, fitted with more guides than regular carp rods to not only work with the impressive action but also keep line close to the bank, perfect to avoid snagging on obstacles when fishing in tight situations. Thanks to their ULW casting efficient design though, you'll still be able to hit the desired spot if you need to move out of the margins.

Featuring the same fixtures and fittings as the rest of the Riot rod range, these are formidable and versatile rods whether you go for the 9ft or 10ft models, or the one-piece 6ft 'hit & hold' rod.

  • High Modular 24T Carbon blank
  • ULW casting efficient guides inc. 30mm butt
  • Anti-Frap tip guides
  • Robust DPS reel seat
  • Japanese full Shrink-wrapped handle
  • Machined 1k carbon line clip
  • Dedicated through action (TA)

Riot Spod & Marker

To complement the Riot carp rod range we've introduced a dedicated Spod & Marker rod.
Boasting an incredible 5lb test curve, combined with the tuned XD (Extra Distance) action, this is a rod that's capable of delivering large loads of bait with accuracy.
However, this isn't just all about all-out power; the responsive tip section aids you when searching for hidden features with a marker float.
