£190 does sound over the top to me. If I remember right they were £80 each when they first came out which is some years ago now. I got mine like I said from Climax tackle and they were end of line then so I got them at £40 Each. As I've also said they are good rods ..
I've got a pair of Greys X...
I sold a pair of 1.75tcs a few years back but missed them so much I've now got a pair back. Very nice rods and a nice slim blank.
As Joe says probably one of the best value rods ever made. My first ones I got from Climax tackle for £40 each and paid more than that to replace them.
I've also got...
Thank you all for your input. I'll take note of all of it..
Kevin Thank you very much for your kind offer. which club do you have a ticket for.. I've got Newark Piscatorial this year. I had Scunthorpe last year and fished lady pit farm.. I've also got Derby Railway ' Burton mutual and pride...
I've been barbel fishing for 20 odd years but never trotted for them so if you don't mind I have a question.. I suppose there could be plenty of different answers but let's see.
I just need to know do you fish the bait way over depth to drag it along the bottom or just dragging bottom or is it...

This is a link to a pair of Barbel rods I've just put on Gumtree. I couldn't upload pictures on here so thought a link to where pictures are available would be best
Both rods are in good condition and all quiver tip are there.
Please...
I know its a long shot but I've gone and broken my quiver tip carrier section of my 1.5lb tc shimano vengeance barbel rod and was wondering if anyone happen to have one they no longer need that would sell it to me or can suggest a place where I might be able to buy one from.
Thanks for your...
Is anyone on here using the Korum S23 Chair?. I've just had a look at one in go out doors but can,t quite make my mind up and at £107 I want to be as sure as possible that it'll do the job.. Are they good on sloping river banks for instance. It does seem a bit bulky but not to heavy..
Any input...
Free spirit Barbel Seeker. I have the 12ft 1.75tc but had it custom made . Only two things different to off the rack. I had a shorter handle (free spirit rods are about 20inches from reel stem to end of but) mine is only 16inches and a hook keeper whipped on. the long handle may make it easier...
I've just stripped down and refitted the spring and locking plate on my Chub hi-lite chair and it is just a case of slipping the spring and plate out of the plastic holder and they do just slip straight back in
The spring & plate make it sound just like my chair.. It is easy to take it apart and refit,,
I've just received two new lengths of tube to replace the front legs on my chair which is a job I'll be doing on Sunday morning so if I remember I'll take pictures and post them on here for you.
This is what I've done to 3 chairs and its worked fine every time.. I have more weight than I should have to test them out to so need to repeat the task occasionally
The soar has had several re stocks of barbel over the past few years. I rarely if ever fish the Sutton and normanton stretches as I much prefer the natural river. I've not fished for barbel on the soar for at least 10 years although I have caught barbel whilst chub fishing biggest going 13lb...

A link to the pallatrax and gamma line. I said I used the 8lb and 10lb.. It seems its been relabelled and I use the 25mm & 28mm which comes out at 13lb and 15lb.. As you can see very low diameter for strength.. BFW...
