Temptation MK4 “Nice'n Slim” 12 ft – The new generation of legendary carp rods

For over 20 years, the name Temptation has stood for sophisticated power transmission, perfect bite indication and uncompromising quality in carp fishing.

The new Nice'n Slim Edition gives the proven series a modern, stylish update.

Key features

• Elegant shrink-tube handle – slim, non-slip, pleasant to the touch
• Proven carbon transition from the 4th ring: coarse to fine for precise feedback
• Sensitive tip and strong backbone – ideal for controlled drills

Two throwing weights – one for each application

Temptation Nice'n Slim 12 ft / 2.75-3.25 lbs

The slightly more parabolic version is ideal for medium distances, precise casting from a boat, and soft, controlled fights. Perfect for structured waters, flat lakes, and boat fishing.

Temptation Nice'n Slim 12 ft / 3.5-4.0 lbs

The more powerful version for long-distance casts, tight line work, strong currents, and large fish. Perfectly suited for rivers, large gravel pits, and long-distance rigs.

The rods are now available for pre-order. Delivery: Autumn/Winter 2025. Limited number of the first series.

Question & Answer: Casting Weight Wingspan

The specification 3.5–4 lb means:

• finer, more sensitive tip in the range of approximately 3.5 lb
• stronger backbone up to approx. 4 lb

We have been implementing this concept for over 20 years:

• Clean drilling action and precise lure control thanks to a sensitive tip
• Powerful backbone for long casts and safely landing large fish

The new generation is modern, very slim and available with either thin EVA + shrink tube or full cork.

The action is progressively parabolic with a smooth transition – elegant, but extremely powerful in use.

Note: The Temptation rods were used to set two long-distance casting records in the Czech Republic. A clear indication of their enormous performance.

Technical features

• IM7 Woven Carbon with transition to a fine mat pattern in the tip area
• 6 + 1 SIC rings, 40 mm starting ring
• Rambo 20-roll reel seat – deliberately without metal to avoid interrupting the parabolic action.
• Continuous epoxy coating from the guide ring to 1 cm before the splice connection – stabilizing element for powerful throws

The rod features a sensitive tip and a powerful, dynamic backbone. Its extremely long draw length ensures that tension is maintained even during rapid changes of direction or in strong waves when fighting a fish from a boat.

Attention to detail

Previously it was cork and Duplon, now it's solid cork or GripX – top-notch performance and a fantastic feel. See for yourself.
