I am looking for a 2lb t/c rod ,don't want to spend a fortune and wondered if anybody could give me some feedback on the J W Young rod?

Looks nice but looks don't mean a thing
 
Had one i used as a floater rod, handled great with some large carp and as you say looks good with the wooden reel.seats and cork.
I found the cork and reel seat a bit to bulky to handle and became a bit uncomfortabe when holding for quite a while so sold it.
 
I hear they can handle Barbel quiet well...and also with the 5 pce rods ...good reports...

But only you will now when you give one a go i suppose..:)
