New chub rod

Richard Isaacs said:
Well I gave mine more abuse yesterday than it’s ever had in its life.
Thought to myself I’m going to give it an afternoon at close range with a method feeder on my local lake. Never used a method feeder before and the little Harrison Avon chub rod would be a lot of fun.
Well at one point I had em queing up and managed 16 carp including 3 decent doubles. Poor little rod I watched it bend in places I’ve never seen it bend before but it came back in the same number of pieces and I got to give it a right old blast out. Chub certainly don’t punish it to that degree.
Bit of fun while we patiently wait for the rivers to open. View attachment 23388View attachment 23389View attachment 23390View attachment 23391View attachment 23392View attachment 23393View attachment 23394View attachment 23395

If I remember it correctly, Chris Yates landed the 50LB carp on MKIV carp rod, which is 1.5lb, I am sure the Harrison Avon is more than capable to land a double figure carp.
