Charlie, what kind of clothing are you referring to? Carpenter regularly have T-shirts available.
Abalone Carpenter lures are released from time to time. They're obviously not released as regularly as the standard lures but they wouldn't be a once off only.

Hi Brandon,

I'm looking for any of their tees.

Hi Charlie,

Carpenter has T-shirt with Blue Chaser design at the moment.

With regards to lures, they only produce same model in every one or two years and nobody including themselves knows when to run next production with what finish until certain point. Colours are always changing to what they believe effective for target through field tests with prototypes. So lures are always limited to what they produce each time and it is possible that same model in same colour will not be produced again.

Cheers,
Tak

I have an inquiry regarding Carpenter rods max drag rating, is it at 45 degrees like most other rod builders or a different angle, also is this a maximum fight drag or more of a breakage drag??

Carpenter use MNSG for all GT rods because stainless K-guides are too heavy (physical weight) and titanium ones are not strong for the purpose of GT fishing

There are some roes with K-guides in lighter range such as lighter Blue Chaser.

It seems that my question got lost in the question, so I'll post again
my inquiry regarding Carpenter rods max drag rating, is it at 45 degrees like most other rod builders or a different angle, also is this a maximum fight drag or more of a breakage drag??

Sorry Mahmoud, I must have missed out your post.

Drag rating is at 45 degree in normal fishing situation for most rods except BLC series and it is maximum drag manufacture recommends anglers to use while fighting.
