Fox Barbel 4 Twin tip

Brought a pair of 11 foot the start of last season. Unfortunately Iv not really got anything to compare them with as had been using my John Wilson rod for 16 years before hand. I always used to use barbless hooks and one problem I did have with them was I was losing a ridiculous amount of fish to hook pulls normally when I’d got the fish under the rod tip and after loosing something huge on the lower Severn I switched over to micro barbed and never lost a fish since so can only put that down to them being a lot stiffer than my old rod and me not being used to it.
If I had one gripe with them it would be the handle feels a bit short. Whether it’s longer on the 12 foots I’m not sure. They’re nice looking rods though
