Whilst they are good pictures of your fishing tackle and 3-4lb barbel, I fear for their sefety. Have you concidered an unhooking mat without tackle too close too the fish, as they could easily flip and land on your reel or heaven forbid, double flip, disturb the float and impale itself on the...

In fact, it's pretty much just like both korum tripods, where as , if you have all 4 points in the ground, you don't even have too tighten the angulators. It works just fine...

I think you have over thunk it Richard, the threads are over long on the unit, so all I did was put on 3 locking nuts, put the storm poles in at less of an angle that it's set at to suit the bank, then finger tighten to the unit to lock it. Mine works just fine out the box, and is very sturdy...

You may need to dampen the maggots a little first but horlicks works just as well as sticky mag. I've had chub trying to intercept the whole ball of maggots before!

Or horlicks!

Any catapult works fine ,with a bit of sticky mat, make a ball about the size of a ¹⁰p round and it will put ⁴⁰yds.

Looks tippy to me too, the butt looks like it's doing its job well.

The Alps cwg ai has a rubber insert, and is more than comfortable , even for southern softies😄. I have them on ³ of my rods.

There's one on eBay now used once , no interest at all , might go for 150!

I wouldn't worry about line ratings too much, but I would match to quarry , topography of the river , snags rock etc, and I always go that bit more, you don't know what's coming next.!

Graham at buzzard rods does an exclusive Torrix tri tip , with 2lb , 1.75lb tops , a 1.75 Carrier section and 3 quiver tips, built to fit drennan tips , so easily replaceable . A far , far, superior rod to the kevlex extreme barbel. Not cheap tho , but a better investment than a fox kevlex. Jim

Yes that looks right, I paid 740 for mine from buzzard rods, but with Alps seats. Jim

I only use braid so Pacific Bay, minimas, black shadow. Mega strong and 30 percent lighter than most, I think there a bit marmite on here tho.😜 Although mono safe too!

You'd be better of with 2 lb torrix for tench, and it would be good for barbel too

No good for barbel, even the extreme barbel. Make decent bream rods tho.

Totally depends what your using it for.!

Was Ade still offering a couple of barbel rods for anyone catching a 10lber Lewis.

Hi Gavin, me and my mate fished the meuse, in fumay, 5yrs ago , just before Ade sold up, we caught barbel everywhere, but upstream from fumay, there is a hydro pumping station, we had over 50 barbel through the night there. Nothing huge. 5-9 lb bracket.. Lots of small catfish to maggot's up to...
