Forgot to add I don’t mind posting the reels but the rods would probably need collecting. Costs to be agreed….. and that’s only about 1/3 of my barbel gear!!!!

SoldDown to these last few rods & reels All of this kit is in pristine nick having only been used about once or twice 1. A pair of 12' 2.5lb tc Harrison Torrix Barbel rods, Built by Custom Fishing Rods, used once only (for carping) £400 OVNO Sold 2. A Pair of Leslies Insight SU Barbel Rod...

I replaced the ones on mine, fairly simple with a lighter & some hot melt.

If it is an original grey rod with black whippings in good condition the id say you saved yourself about £60 or £70 quid Absolutely cracking rods, superseded by the very similar Duo twin top rods

I have a nice selection, some from Ivan Marks in differing lengths (to combat the pull of water) I also have some moulded rubbers formed at an angle for use on slow flowing water or on big lakes with subsurface big tows.

I definitely have one, it’s just working out which one of the two it is… Drop me a pm….

You probably did, as the new versions were out by then, a tackle dealers were allowed to discount them as out of date stock

They also did a 12’ 1.25lb version and a quite rare 11’ version of both would have been available in the late 1980’s as I remember seeing them in my local tackle shop at the time

These rods were the precursor to the “Duo” and were produced by a different manufacturer than the “Duo” twin top rods, and although the rods appear to be made on the same mandrel Drennan assured me they they were not Currently I think I have 1x 1:25 super specialist, a pair of 1.25 Duos, 1x 1.5...

I did ask that very question of the very helpful Dr Harrison, the insight rods were based on the chimera blank, the 12’ RB had a 1.5 lb tc quiver top, and a 1.75 & 2.0 lb hollow top. The 1.75 & 2.0 tops were also available as stand alone rods There was also a SU version which was 2.25lb which...
