I'm after a rod to hold all day, I've had plenty of barbel rods over the years but as my fishing has been primarily static weight wasn't an issue as they have been on sticks or on a pod
I've just found a few methods that are really producing results with moving baits but the rod I'm using is too heavy to hold for long periods of time.
So test curve of 1.5 upwards,old or new it doesn't matter I'm looking for a rod that you thought wow that's light for a barbel/ specimen rod length 11-12ft
For info most rods tend to be about 250-330gms so I'm looking at as near to or less 200gms
Does such a tool exist?
More info I'm using free spirits now and a drennan as my roving rod but in the past have had Daiwas, Shimanos,Chub,Fox,harrison amongst others
