GOOFISH® REEDVAULT 1002 Carp Spinning Rod | Two-Piece

REEDVAULT 1002: a focused freshwater carp setup

The GOOFISH REEDVAULT 1002 is being developed for bank-based carp bait fishing on lakes, ponds and manageable slow-current waters. Its nominal 10ft, two-piece spinning format combines a long two-handed rear grip with a dedicated bottom-bait direction. Orchid Buff pairs a magenta lower blank with a graphite upper section, a continuous buff EVA rear grip and plum foregrip and butt bumper.

One model and one finish are proposed. This is not a travel-lure rod, a saltwater surf rod, a spod rod or a way to lift fish by the rod. Choose a bank with clear casting space and land fish with appropriate landing equipment.

Development status: This is not verified production stock. Every new specification below is a development target pending engineering approval and physical sample validation. Images are generated design renders, not photographs of manufactured products, scale drawings or exact FUJI component illustrations. No working-load, reel-drag, breaking-strength, fish-size or casting-distance claim has been validated. The planned USD149 price is quotation-pending, not a confirmed production cost or margin.

Image limitations: The full-rod appearance overview simplifies the guide train: it does not show the complete proposed six guides plus tip-top. Handle and section proportions are not to scale. The separate-section view shows the intended one base guide and five upper guides plus tip-top, but its drawn handle length is not the650mm engineering target. These remaining drawing discrepancies are unresolved; the written dimensions and approved supplier drawings must govern. Do not manufacture or place production orders from these renders.

One model, clearly separated ratings

Power describes the intended resistance to bending; Action describes where the rod bends. A carp Test Curve is a separate static bending convention, commonly associated with a 90-degree tip-bend reference. Its detailed fixture and measurement method must be agreed for this rod. None of these labels can be converted directly into a safe casting weight, drag setting, maximum fish mass or breaking strength. No grams-per-pound rule is used to establish the proposed casting range.

The casting range is not a suspended-jig rating. Heavy PVA bags, spod bombs, snag-locked fishing and heavier river-lead rigs are outside this first brief. A reel's free-spool setting is not its fighting drag. Do not use the proposed values as field-use ratings before physical approval.

Two sections with a reconciled length chain

All dimensions in this section are development targets. The datum is the outside butt-cap end, x=0, increasing toward the tip along the assembled centerline. The base assembly is1570mm including its end cap; the upper assembly is1560mm including the tip-top projection. With80mm joint engagement, the chain is1570 +1560 −80 =3050mm. The upper socket starts at assembled x1490mm and overlaps the base to x1570mm.

The proposed joint is a composite put-over connection, not an external metal coupling. Engagement, visible joint gap, taper fit, reinforcement and raw cutting lengths require the blank engineer's approval. These are finished assembly envelopes, not instructions to cut two raw tubes and then add caps. Paint, print and excess resin must stay outside the approved mating lands. Never force a joint flush or pull on guide frames to separate it.

The1620mm protected-length target includes a proposed25mm allowance at either end of the1570mm longest assembly. Guide height, separators and end protectors also require radial clearance. No existing rod sleeve, shipping package or airline allowance has been verified for this design.

A continuous EVA carp handle

The handle choice begins with the method: two-handed casting, periods in rod rests and wet or gloved handling. A continuous buff EVA rear grip is proposed for its consistent long shape and color-production route, with a short plum EVA foregrip. Wet grip, cold handling, comfort, cleaning and durability remain test requirements, not established advantages.

Natural cork and composite cork were considered for a traditional feel and warm appearance; grade, filling, density, transfer and consistency still need validation. Carbon-grip options were considered but do not provide a verified wet/cold-handling benefit here. EVA is selected for this particular geometry and finish, not declared universally better than cork or carbon.

Installed axial targets from x=0: plum butt bumper0–20mm; continuous buff EVA rear20–420mm, length400mm; rear trim420–430mm; seat installation430–585mm, envelope155mm; front trim585–595mm; plum EVA foregrip595–645mm, length50mm; winding check645–650mm. The entire handle stack is650mm target. Rear grip outside diameter30–32mm, foregrip26–28mm and butt cap32mm are unverified development targets.

The FUJI DPSM18BC candidate has a catalog124mm body length,18.0mm bore,21.0mm body outside diameter and24.4mm maximum hood diameter. These are sourced component references, not measurements of this rod. Its nominal installed body position445–569mm sits within the155mm seat reserve; actual hood/nut travel and real reel-foot clearance must be checked. A124mm catalog body is not the complete installed handle assembly. Blank diameter, arbors and adhesive interfaces remain unapproved.

Candidate blank and FUJI component plan

A hollow rolled-carbon/composite, two-section blank is the development direction. Carbon supplier, modulus, mandrel, taper, wall schedule, fiber orientation, resin, cure and joint reinforcement are not yet specified. No unverified proprietary carbon technology or Solid Nano construction is claimed.

Candidate reel seat: FUJI DPSM18BC, also shown in regional documentation as DPSM-BC18 / DPS M BC size18, with dark-grey hoods. Supplier confirmation is required for current order designation, complete hood/nut contents, fit and availability. This is a triggerless spinning layout, not a baitcasting or spiral-guide configuration.

The candidate guide train is six guides plus one tip-top: BCKWAG40L×1 atx1050mm; BCKWAG25×1 atx1750; BCKWAG20×1 atx2200; BCKWAG16×1 atx2520; BCKWAG12×2 atx2750 and2920; BCMNAT12-family tip-top atx3050. All stations are unvalidated ring-center targets from the butt datum, not wrap-edge positions or released production stations. Assembled guides face below the blank in one plane.

BCKWAG is a source-listed dark-grey stainless/Alconite family. Catalog guide size/height/overall-length references in mm are40L/59.7/90,25/41.2/61.9,20/28.6/50.2,16/21.2/41.3 and12/17.4/33.4. A nominal ring size is not the clear aperture; height is not guaranteed blank clearance. Supplier drawings, foot-wrap lands, wet-knot passage, static line clearance, reel-spool coils and casting tests govern the final train. The generated images do not establish exact FUJI geometry.

BCMNAT12/2.8,12/3.0 and12/3.2 appear in supplier references, but no tube bore is selected. The finished tip must be measured and the correct tube/adhesive fit confirmed. These are unresolved component alternatives, not interchangeable rod tips or extra product variants.

Orchid Buff finish and identification

The development palette uses magenta lower-blank coating, graphite upper and joint areas, buff EVA rear grip and plum EVA foregrip and cap. Two narrow ivory bands provide restrained identification instead of camouflage or broad diagonal graphics. Satin coating and fine-pore foam are appearance targets, not verified surface specifications.

PANTONE213C,7506C and5185C are respectively the proposed magenta, buff and plum reference targets. Physical approval is required separately for blank paint, EVA, thread, ink and any metal trim. On-screen colors are not production masters; coated-paper references cannot be assumed to match foam or carbon. Seat threads, hood contacts, bonding zones and joint mating lands remain undecorated. Buff foam requires stain, cleaning, dye-transfer, UV-fade and aging trials before any care or durability claim.

Marking targets use the butt datum and12-o'clock branding face, opposite the6-o'clock guide plane. Preserve the original connected-double-O GOOFISH artwork and proportions. Logo area x680–758mm, nominal78×9mm subject to original aspect ratio; REEDVAULT1002 atx680–775mm, nominal95×4mm. The English specification block atx790–915mm uses three3mm-high lines at4.5mm baseline spacing: “305cm TARGET |2PC |MH /MOD-FAST”; “CAST60-100g TARGET”; “TC3.0lb TARGET - NOT A LIFT RATING”. All dimensions and printing remain supplier/sample pending.

Batch field targetx930–975mm on the reverse, no fictitious serial assigned. S1 identification targetx1425–1437mm; S2 at local100–112mm from its proximal end. Alignment tick targets are S1x1470–1478mm and S2local90–98mm,8×0.8mm, outside the80mm mating lands. Ivory band targetsx960–961 and965–966mm. Butt-cap original wordmark target18×3.5mm centered on the32mm face, preserving proportions rather than creating a monogram. Minimum5mm text clearance from wraps and coating transitions is a development target requiring proof.

The supplied bitmap is a reference, not production vector artwork. Pad-print or compatible transfer process, ink adhesion, curved-surface legibility, original-vector proof and all masking boundaries require supplier approval. The render's lettering and logo study do not authorize tracing, stretching or manufacturing from the image.

Validation required before release

Keep four measurements separate: rod working line load in newtons under specified supports and angles; reel start-up/running drag in newtons at a measured spool fill; wet/knotted/abraded line-system failure in newtons; and sacrificial rod destructive force in newtons. None is calculated from fish weight, the line label, MH or3.0lb Test Curve. No maximum drag or lifting rating is assigned.

Every test requires identified samples, calibration, environmental conditions, fixture/support positions in mm, rod angle from horizontal, loading point and line path, force or displacement ramp speed, hold time, repetitions, acceptance limits and the responsible engineer's signed approval. Unset force, speed and durability thresholds remain approval gates, not implied safety margins.

Proposed protocols, all subject to engineer approval: dimensions/mass/balance on five finished samples with ten assemblies each; separate static Test Curve and bend-shape work on three sacrificial samples; routed-line/guide-clearance work on five samples at documented30/45/60-degree rod angles with loads, speeds, holds and cycles assigned by the engineer; real-reel casting on three samples by three trained casters, with staged60/80/100g complete wet payloads and twenty casts per point only after prior approval. No single successful cast proves the range or fatigue life.

Joint/seat/grip protocol target: five samples, fifty dry and twenty wet assembly cycles, with actual foot dimensions, hood travel, assembly force, pull-out force, rotation and adhesion measured under an approved procedure. Separate reel-drag and line-failure benches require controlled spool fill, draw speed and knot/conditioning records. Material trials need defined contamination, cleaning, cloth load/strokes, UV dose, aging cycles and color/adhesion thresholds. These quantities are proposed test plans, not completed tests.

Destructive testing uses three sacrificial assemblies in a guarded lab fixture with an approved loading path, angle and displacement rate. Record peak force, deflection, failure mode and location; never resell those samples or label peak failure as working load. Blank-engineering, component-fit, quality and product-owner approvals are required together. Until those gates close, all dimensions, ratings and materials remain development targets.
