Robinson 11G-XS-P21 review

A named carbon grade and a named ring type at thirty euros, with no weight published anywhere.

The bottom line A named carbon grade and a named ring type at thirty euros is a real bargain, and the missing weight is what you pay for it in uncertainty.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Length: 2,10 m
  • Casting weight: 3 to 14 g
  • Blank: IM6 carbon with an X-Cross braid
  • Rings: 8, slim, with thin inserts
  • Handle: split EVA

What this one never publishes

No weight. No transport length. No line rating. On a two-piece 2,10 m rod the transport length is close to half the assembled length, but that is arithmetic rather than a published figure, and this site does not print arithmetic as a specification.

The casting weight

3 to 14 g is the broadest of the light bands on this shelf, and it covers a 5 g spinner, a 7 g spoon and a 12 g shad on a jig head. The neighbouring Abu Garcia carries the same band at 1,83 m, which is a shorter rod for the same lures.

The ring count

8 leichte SLIM-Ringe mit dünnen Einlagen reduzieren Schnurverwicklungen.

Eight rings on a 2,10 m blank is a normal count, and the claim attached to them is about tangles rather than casting distance.

The declared figures, and the point they run out

Strengths

  • Names the carbon grade — IM6 — and the reinforcement, where most listings say only carbon
  • Eight rings with thin inserts, stated to reduce line tangles
  • A split EVA grip, which is lighter than a full grip and easier to keep clean than cork

Compromises

  • No weight, no transport length and no line rating published
  • A progressive action is a broad description, and nothing says where the bend starts
  • Priced only in Germany across the six stores checked

Questions that come in about this one

What is IM6 carbon?

It names the fibre the blank is made from, not the way the rod behaves. A stiffer fibre can be built into a soft rod, and no maker publishes the relationship — so the figure is worth reading as a description of material rather than of performance.

What does progressive action mean?

The maker uses it to say the rod loads gradually rather than bending at the tip. It is a broad description: nothing states where along the blank the bend begins, and there is no method behind the word.

Is a split grip better than a full one?

It is lighter and it stays cleaner. What it gives up is the ability to tuck the butt under a forearm, which some people do on a long retrieve.

Who this one is for

A first carbon lure rod for perch and trout at 3 to 14 g
