Advice on new rods please?

I might be wrong but, I don't think Harrison did a "twin tip".
I think it's just a case of both torrix 2lb and 1.75 tips, fit on the torrix 1. 75 butt....
 
If I am going to spend 300 on a barbel rod, it has to be basia, I have the 2.25lb one, it’s just brilliant.

I have both torrix and free spirit s range, basia just another level. I wish they do a 11ft version.

Btw, at 12ft, torrix 1.75/2lb would be my last choice, Id go with chimera no2 if you want Harrison blanks.

They are that good... just need one more to make it a full collection 😩
 
Yeah Huanzhou, at 12ft the torrix 2lb, isn't a patch on the 11ft. But jump up to 12ft 2.5lb and IMHO it's better than the chimera 3.
 
I have always been totally happy with my 12ft 2lb Torrix.
On Trent, Thames, Wye Lower Severn Kennet.etc.

If my fishing was mainly on Tidal Trent , I would maybe go up in tc otherwise I would continue to drop it into the inside line during floods.
 
No, I can assure you that they are nothing like carp rods.
2.25 torrixs are excellent rods.
But no good for on the tidal trent with a few foot on.
