Received my new rod yesterday ....very happy with quality of Shane’s workmanship and overall feel of the rod. My only mistake was to order just one but that has now been rectified 😉
Just hope I get to use soon

Have the isotopes been strinktubed to the rod? Or is it a fitting?

They are heat shrunk on in clear tube. Then the whipping from the tip ring buts up to it and a small whipping butted up to it on the other side. Both ends then sealed in varnish with the whippings. It’s a nicer way to do it rather than whipping over the tube and obscure the view to the back of the isotope

Yep like this
 
I have tried shrinktubing but when the isotope is parallel to the rod it is much less visible than when it is at 90 degrees to the rod. Is the isoblob much better
 
Hi all,

I've just listed a new standard build i-power in the shop:

barbel.co.uk

BFW i-power 2lb TC 12' - Barbel Fishing World ipower barbel rod

BFW i-power 2lb TC 12', hand built on a 12’ 2lb TC Harrison blank, exclusive to Barbel Fishing World. A beautiful through action rod.
barbel.co.uk barbel.co.uk

There were two (a matching pair) but one got bought before I had a chance to list it :)

Cheers,

Andy
