Welcome to the Grey’s Prodigy GT4 review – the 4th generation carp rod in the highly regarded series!
Now, I really enjoyed the performance of the GT3 so let’s take a look to see if the GT4 can go one step further…..
With a completely redesigned new blank, which now incorporates a high modulus carbon fibre with a full 3k woven into it, complimented with an carbon armour finish (it looks very sleek!)
(If this is all a bit technical, the helpful people at Harrison Rods have created an in-depth article into creating blanks)
Down at the business end and you’ll find a resepctful Fuji DPS-18 reel seat along with black anodised collars – whih compliments this the rod well.
The GT4 has a slim shrink wrapped handle and laser-etched butt cap which is now standard in any quality carp rod.
