I'm looking for a recommendation for a new rod for somebody new to Barbel fishing. Not too expensive, but good value for money. Ideally with dual top sections.

Before recommending a barbel rod it would be useful to know what venue you are going to be fishing.A Korum twin tip would be a good all rounder with 1.75 and 2.2tc tops.
I've got a Grey's Prodigy Barbel Rod you can have for £40+pp if you're interested. 1.75lb TC and comes with two tops - normal and quiver + 3 quivertips. Had Barbel up to 16lb 2oz on it and it's a decent enough rod.
Worth having a look at the fox duo lite rods.
