DC Ballistic covers 5 South African carp rods in spinning builds, lengths 12' to 14', test curves 3.75 lb, casting weights 25-100 g to 30-115 g. When we decided to build the new Ballistic series, we thought BIG, not 50 cal big, not rocket big, Nuclear big. So, we built a rod powerful enough to break that legendary 200m+ plus mark with 0.25mm diameter lines.
