yes mines the 11ft, sorry missed that bit off your post.

https://barbel.co.uk/forum/threads/bfw-1lb-6oz-11ft-twin-tip.22407/

I have a 11ft 1lb 6oz, It’s a bfw build twin tip. I have advertised on here previously.

Digging up an old thread. Any info on this rod please? Will it be the same blank as the op on here and suitable for barbel/ tench? Thanks Jon

Couple more pics.

Apologies for the those that asked for pictures. I couldn’t find the original quiver tip. Now found. Some paint missing off that tip, it’s carbon around 3oz test. Not in the original rod bag, but have an 11ft fox twin tip rod bag, it fits in nicely. With 3 sections. West Yorkshire based...

I’ll get some pictures sorted out later today or tomorrow.

Still available £130

Harrison blank 1lb 6oz 11ft twin tip. One solid tip (barely used) And a further top section that came fitted with a 3oz carbon tip, which I changed for a lighter glass tip, in all honesty I wanted to use it very quickly and didn’t do a perfect job getting the glass tip whipped on, but it is...

Yep same baits, more so on bread than worm. Violent bites completely out of the blue lift rod to strike, feeling no great build up of pressure as I do so, but hook gone. Not happened recently, but not getting many bites anyway!

I’d been considering braid. I thought I’d sussed it with the 11lb powerline, though there was always the thought that I’m fishing way too heavy for finicky chub! But when that went the other week… I’ll try shorter hooklengh and maybe braid and see if the bite offs stop, it’s been getting...

There are odd pike in the stretch, it’s a possibility. I do remember getting quite a badly cut finger, as a youngster when feeling for a small hook down a 2/3lb chubs’ throat when I’d lost my disgorger.

Sounds like a plan, I will definitely shorten up. & No crayfish present i don’t believe Ian, and the bites are not like the bites I get from crayfish on other rivers I fish. Im sure chub are the culprits. Cheers

Anyone ever suffer bite offs whilst ledgering for chub? I must have been done, normally on the strike around half a dozen times all either on flake or worm, over the last few years on one particular low stock stretch of river I fish. All going at bottom of hooklengh. Due to these occurrences I’d...

Definitely barbel in the river Clyde, no idea how they got there. Just search it in YouTube, there’s loads of footage of them. I remember someone claimed a very large barbel from the Clyde on here, years and years ago, it’s probably in the archives somewhere. Can’t remember the exact weight but...

It looks like the quivers have extending (scope style) butt sections, this will account for a bit of extra weight I would imagine. Wouldn’t mind having a look at the 13ft version.

Anyone used the Angling Direct Adventa 30” folding spoon. Just wandering as a tight-fisted Yorkshireman, if the saving over the korum/ Gardner versions is worth it or not. Jon

I checked with Mark. The butt sections on the float and the multi tip rod are different and not interchangeable. Not sure if that’s what you meant or not Martin, but I asked anyway! Jon

Be interesting to hear how they stack up strength wise, with the thinner gage. With maggots/ small pellets and barbel in mind.

Reasonable bag, just a bit big for barbel fishing imo.
