Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

Mark Tunley built my 2 Avon rods a few years ago, still love them. For heavier Barbel fishing I was lucky to get 2 Dave Lumb 2.5 tc Barbel Rods in 12ft. They certainly don’t feel too powerful for fishing when needing a heavier lead, a nice controlled action.
 
The Harrison Avon 1.25 tc rod is 11ft and has a surprisingly powerful butt section. I happily use them for Barbel on the Hampshire Avon in the summer when the River is low and delicate presentation is the order of the day.
The Harrison Avon is completely different from 12ft torrix 1.25. And it is not 1.25, more like 1.4lb, good blank though.
 
Unfortunately Harrison no longer list the 11 foot 1.25 lb torrix on their website it looks like it’s discontinued or perhaps now only available as a special order.
They never did and such blank never exist. Mark tunely did build a 11ft torrix 1.25 by cutting the butt off from the 12ft.
