Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

Has anyone got these rods and if so what are they like? Looking at this rod for Chub and Barbel on small to medium rivers and a bit of tench fishing.

That’s what I use mine for and find them perfect for any 6lb line work on river or lake

Would they handle a double figure Barbel if one turned up?

With ease, with care.

Have ai read somewhere that they are more like 1.5tc rods?

This is what i have read as well. I believe that the 1.25 t.c butt section is on par with the 1.75 t.c and the 1.5 t.c is more of a softer through action rod.

12ft 1.25 torrix is a very tippy rod IMO. It has a sensitive tip and softish first 1/3, the butt is powerful, definitely stronger than the 1.5 version.

I've got these and they're brilliant for my Chub & perch fishing. Lovely blanks at 11ft.
I do have an older Torrix from Mark Tunley at 12ft with seperate quiver section (for drennan tips) and only caught small stuff on it.

And I've in the past landed barbel to 12lb (not the intended target) on light quiver tip setup, but just didn't rush or bully it, & all was fine with landing it. So a Torrix 1.25 could handle it no problem, but I wouldn't want to use that rod in strong flows or hit & hold scenarios personally.

I believe the bottom half of the rod is the same as a 1.5 version, I have two and perfect Chub rod if not needing a quiver tip rod. Non snag swims for Barbel ok too...
