The Nissin Flying Dragon carp rods offer one significant advantage over the Nissin Kyogi rods - they collapse to a convenient 22 inches compared to 47 inches! I've had a few customers who wanted the capability of a carp rod but the long collapsed length was a deal breaker. I have another customer who bought one of the carp rods that do not collapse to a convenient length, and absolutely loves the rod, but on a recent trip for which it would have been ideal he ended up leaving it home. It wouldn't fit in a carry-on bag or a checked suitcase, and checking another piece of luggage these days is $25 - each way!
The Nissin Flying Dragon carp rods are rated for 3X tippets. Although that is less than the 0X rating of the Nissin Kyogi, it is stronger than the 4X tippets that the Tenkara Guides in Salt Lake City routinely use for carp. I think it should be sufficient.
