11-12ft 1½lb Barbel Multi Classic
On larger waters where longer casts, heavier payloads and stronger flows present a different challenge to Purist anglers seeking Barbel. The Purist Multi Barbel Power’s 2lb test curve keeps you in control of all these demands, whilst still retaining a sweet playing action to tire out and defeat big fish. Fixtures and fittings are the same high grade as the lighter Classic version. The extra foot extension, which is removable whilst fishing, offers that little extra length to keep line out of the water.
Barbel are part and parcel of most all-round specialist anglers’ agenda. Some of the biggest known Barbel dwell in narrow rivers where casting heavy weights and countering strong flows are not an issue. It’s a common mistake to fish with too powerful a rod which lacks the correct playing action. With cork/Duplon grip and Shimano reel seat, the 1½lb test curve Purist Barbel Classic is ideal for such situations, providing two length options plus quivertip and Avon top sections.
12ft 6in Brench
11ft-12ft 6in Light Specialist
‘Brench’ was born out of the names of two species; Bream and Tench. Both reach impressive sizes of over 10lb, often inhabiting large, deep and weedy gravel pits which present a real challenge to anglers targeting them. A fast tip action on this two-piece rod assists distance casting. Features include Shimano reel seat, cork handle, carbon line clip and ten quality guides.
This ‘go-anywhere’ rod can be used with confidence on rivers, drains and lakes of all sizes. More than just another multi-length rod, its parabolic action and dual length facility (thanks to a one foot extension) are further boosted by the inclusion of two different strength Avon top sections, Shimano reel seat, cork handle plus carbon line clip.
12ft Avon Quiver S.T.C. The STC Avon Quiver is a six sectioned rod which is ideal for keeping in the car for opportune sessions. The through action is not compromised at all by its multi-piece construction, and as well as an Avon top there is also a quivertip top for finer bite registration. The versatile nature of this rod makes it perfect for a wide range of species and situations encountered on rivers and still waters.
