daiwa infinity rods

[Matthew Stokes]

thinking of getting a infinity 1.75 tc rod could it handle 5 to 6 oz feeders as every time ive been to the wye last season its been 3 to 4ft up thanks

You need to ask Gaz Wagstaff, he has a pair of them mate

 

[Mark Gaskell]

nice rods

they wont chuck that,feeders that size full will need 2lb at least,.

 

[Paul Hamer]

2.25tc would easily do it, like Mark said, nice rods tho

 

[Mark Gaskell]

biteless

dont no how they perform with fish on as gaz has never showed us that yet!

 

[Paul Hamer]

Look good in the rests tho, especially with gazs night lights on

 

[Jon Frisby]

Imo the best off the shelf available. For lobbing it will be fine 20/30yds.

thanks for your views still looking for more info on these rods. so they would
handle 4 oz feeders ok ? as i think the 2.25 tc would be to heavy

A mate of mine has one of the 2.25 and he loves it, so much he has sold me his Torrix Send him a pm, he'll tell you more Ian Galt.

I have a couple of mates who swear by them and I have a picture of one of them with the rod in full compression flinging a 4oz feeder into the far bank barbel hole on the Horsefield. These are a couple of unsung anglers who regularly land between 3 and 5 hundred barbel a year each from rivers all over the country so they should know what they are doing.

I have the 1.75 Infinity which I use for summer big fish or winter fishing. The only time I've felt under-gunned was on a SERIOUSLY flooded Wye. I no longer use feeders for barbel fishing, so can't comment in that context.
What line strength do you intend to use? and what size barbel are you liable to encounter? which river? and will this be your only barbel rod?

 

[Peter Jones]

Ive got both the 1.75 and a 2.25. I use the 1.75 mostly, but would recommend the 2.25 if you are legging that type of weight any distance. I use the 2.25 in floodwater conditions and catching fish at 4lb it didnt feel overgunned.

what test curves are these other rods? If you already have a rod that suits your fishing and simply want to upgrade, have you not answered your own question?
