I wouldn’t want to cast a 6 or 8 oz lead with a1.5 test rod……

Try fishing a big river when it is bank high.

PS I’m old enough to remember when standard carp rods were 1.75 test. They worked just fine with 1.5 or 2oz leads.

I wouldn't expect anyone to cast that weight on a 1.5lb rod

I have 2 Daiwa infinity 1.75 Barbel Special rods that I will be advertising soon.

Would these rods be suitable for the tidal Trent as it seems 2.0 2.5 tc are the favourite rods for that river ?

For the Tidal you would want to step up to at least 2.25.

I see would that be in summer conditions too ?

That depends on river water levels and if there is any extra water on after rain.
