Nice looking rods, I am looking to get set up again this year after many years away from freshwater (discovered the joys of sea fishing ).

 

I have one stretch of river I can fish that holds barbel upto 17 lb, and lots of chub to 7lb, so got to get set up and give it a go again.

If anyone's interested' I have a pair of fox barbel duo'lites in 1.75 lb Avon tops with the feeder tops with various tips 3oz carbon 5 oz etc-well used but in excellent condition -retail at around 150 each new-take notes for them if anyone wants them.caught hundreds of fish on them carp off the top and barbel,chub,bass to name a few.bought some new twin tips yesterday .atb dc

You still got these, I may be interested, looking for a good pair of barbel/chub rods for my local river.

Sounds like a good setup, hear those 6000's are real smooth (excuse the pun)

 

Must admit to never having spent much on my freshwater gear.

 

Have you got any photos showing condition of the set up mate ?

Dig them out and take a few on the weekend for you mate.

Cheers bud, reading up on them it sounds like they will be pretty good, why did you change them and what for ?

[Daniel cain 45,292]

Fancied some beefier rods and reels for when I fish , the seven etc.I bought the korum twin tip + 1.75lb and 2.25 lb test curve and new shimano ultegra 5500 xtc reels.atb dc

I have been thinking of getting a pair of new rods.Im currently using fox duo lites in 1.75lb-served me well for a good 8 seasons but would like something along the lines of 2.25 lb next-the diawa theory's have good reviews. My mate has the greys and ive had a few fish on them and don't really rate them-fox imo are well worth the money.my other pal has the tf gear barbel rods the flagship option and they are well balanced and have a lovely action-wouldn't pay what they want on the website-go to the factory outlet and they almost half price-always good deals if you go down there.shimano make some tidy barbel rods that are worth a look or there's hardys if your feeling flush lol;).atb dc

Have seen those tf barbel and tf big river barbel for £49.99 which I didn't think was bad, think they were a 2lb tc though

[Daniel cain 45,292]

My mate has them-nice action for playing fish on.I have a few rods made by tf gear- my favourite being the pair of X1 river and steam in 1 lb 2 oz test curve I use for small river chubbing ;)they give you a lifetime guarantee with them as well. Atb dc
