Rod craftsmanship from Imperial Baits – tradition with woven carbon
Temptation Rods offer pure carbon fiber tradition in its most beautiful form. These rods represent a blend of precise engineering, expert craftsmanship, and decades of fine-tuning on the water. Anyone who has fished with them knows the feeling – a grin that never fades.
The perfect triad of carbon fiber
The Temptation series is the result of real-world experience. Ideas that originated directly on the water were implemented over many years through several development stages, until the Temptation series known today took shape – now in its 4th generation since 2001.
These rods are not mass-produced, but rather "special tools" for carp fishing:
Precise and long throws, convincingly controlled drills.
Thanks to direct sales, you will rarely find them in stores – whoever owns one holds something special in their hands.
Attention to detail
Developed for specialists
Temptation Rods stand for maximum control, especially when fighting a fish, whether it's under the boat or trying to escape with the current. That was and remains our goal: Total Control.
