The bottom line The blank is described layer by layer where the rest of the shelf says « carbon », and it is a rod alone — which is right if you already have a reel.

The claim to read a second time
Mindestens 30% mehr Kraft und 20% weniger.
Thirty per cent more strength — against nothing named — and twenty per cent less of something the sentence never finishes naming. A percentage without a baseline is a number, not a measurement, and half a sentence is not a specification. Both are printed here as the claims they are.
Two names
The brand field reads sprinton; the rod is the MAXIMUMCATCH Aspire. No EAN is published, and the price exists in Germany only, at 95,99 €.

Compromises

A rod alone — no reel, no line, no flies, where five items here include all three
No EAN published, and priced only in Germany at 95,99 €
The 30 % strength claim names no comparison, and the sentence after it — « and 20 % less » — never says less of what

Questions that come in about this one
Why buy a rod with no reel?
Because the outfits on this shelf pair a described rod with an undescribed reel. Bought separately you choose both. This is one of only two items here sold as a rod.
What is 40T carbon?
A modulus grade: higher numbers are stiffer for the same weight. The listing states pure 40T with five blended layers, including a reinforced one. Four other listings on this shelf say "carbon" and stop.
Which brand is it?
The listing’s brand field reads sprinton and the rod is labelled MAXIMUMCATCH Aspire. Both are as published. One other item on this shelf has the same split between the two names.
Who this one is for
A second rod, or a first rod for someone who already has a reel and knows the class they want
