Abu Garcia Carabus Exquisite Spinning Rod 602XUL 1.83m 0.5–3g

Abu Garcia Carabus Exquisite 602XUL – precision for the smallest lures

The Carabus Exquisite 602XUL is designed for micro lure fishing, where every gram counts. Its thin 24T carbon blank delivers a progressive action that loads smoothly for accurate casts with lures as light as 0.5 g, while keeping fish securely hooked during the fight.

Progressive action for micro lures

The responsive moderate action blank loads deeply even with tiny lures, enabling you to achieve surprising casting distance and maintain control throughout the retrieve. The progressive taper absorbs head shakes and sudden runs, reducing the risk of hook pulls when fishing with fine leaders and small trebles.

Lightweight build with quality components

At just 167 g, the 602XUL won't tire your wrist during long sessions. Stainless steel KL-type anti-tangle micro guides minimize friction and prevent line wrap, while the ergonomic cork grip and lightweight IPS-type reel seat offer all-day comfort. High-quality cork material ensures a secure hold even in wet conditions.

Choose the right variant

The Carabus Exquisite series offers four ultra-light spinning models to match your target species and lure weight:

• 602XUL 0.5–3 g – for the smallest micro lures; ideal for wary trout, perch, and chub in clear water with 1–4 lb line

• 602UL 0.8–4 g – slightly heavier micro jigs and tiny crankbaits; perch, trout, and asp fry

• 602L 1.5–4.5 g – light soft plastics and small spoons; versatile for perch and trout in streams and stillwaters

• 602ML 2–6 g – upper end of ultra-light; small spinners and lightweight jerkbaits for larger perch and trout
