There’s been one on eBay for £750 for yonks…. Not worth anything near that which is why it’s not selling. There lovely versatile rods and I love mine but £240 is probably about the going rate. But ask yourself if you’ll use all 3 tip sections? If yes then might be worth a punt… they will probably hold that value if kept in good nick. Bug you are nearing the price of a bespoke Harrison built for your needs if you add a bit more

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

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

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!

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

They are excellent Rods
Very high quality and extremely well finished
Not light by any means but the carbon is wrapped in Kevlar which makes the blanks seriously strong.
The kevlex extreme barbel is an awesome barbel rod. The test curves are slightly underrated and the rod tips feel stiffer than what it’s rated to.
The quiver section is brilliant and makes the rod more versatile.

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.

I’m not disputing whether Harrison rods do something better or worse. I’m answering the question in the regard that the kevlex extreme barbel rod is a fantastic barbel rod in its own right. Very capable versatile rod and finished off very nicely.
