Similar through actions but the gti is more powerful.

The standard 11' Avon is 1.6 TC, whereas the 11' Gti comes in 1.12 & 2lb TC versions.

Yep, GTi bends through the blank lovely but a lot more stopping power lower down than the Avon - this is comparing my peregrine gti with the 4 piece Avon ….not sure if the 2 piece Avon will have a different action but suspect not

I recently bought some 11ft 2.25lb rods, the bloke I bought them from said the were custom gti blanks. I did email Steve Harrison and he confirmed they probably were gti's. I just have nothing to compare them to.
They are very nice rods, landed me big Thames Barbel and casting 4oz feeders mid river easily.
