Shimano Tribal TX-Ultra A
The Tribal TX Ultra is a remarkable example of rod-making craftsmanship at the very highest level. The unrivalled casting performance, achieved through the combination of three exclusive Shimano carbon technologies, coupled with outstanding fighting performance, make this rod series the first choice for all carp anglers who demand the very best from their tackle. If you’re looking for the ultimate long-distance casting rod, the TX Ultra is the one for you. With this rod, you can achieve casting distances previously thought unattainable, and with a precision that is second to none. The futuristic design with its understated look cuts a sensational figure by the water’s edge. For maximum casting distance and heavy leads, the Intensity models deliver record-breaking performance, whilst the 3.00lb and 3.25lb versions are designed more for medium and lighter leads.
Whichever model you choose, one thing is certain: you won’t find a better rod. The TX Ultra’s record-breaking casting performance is achieved through the use of three exclusive SHIMANO carbon technologies: Spiral X Core for torsional rigidity, Hi-Power X to reduce blank twist, and a futuristic carbon monocoque handle section for faster power transfer into the blank and a better feel during the fight. These technologies also reduce the rod’s overall weight, making it the lightest carp rod in the TX rod family. The result is a higher tip speed with maximum casting power and greater sensitivity during the fight, particularly at short distances.
With the 13ft Intensity model and a 128-gram lead, casting distances of over 220m have already been achieved. The TX Ultra not only casts further than other rods, but is also astonishingly accurate and remarkably forgiving of mistakes during the fight. All models are fitted with premium Kigan 3D rod guides (50mm starter guide/16mm anti-frap tip guide) and an exclusive custom Ci4+ reel seat, which allows the reel to blend seamlessly with the carbon monocoque handle.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
