Rod for big chub and barbel.

Hi men

Yep Neil iv watched that one , boron was going to be the next big material, but never really happened eh?. Iv got a box collection of Out Of Town , classics.

As I mentioned it must really be under 11'. 9/10 would be ideal thanks again food for thought. Rich
Drennan acolyte plus,take you’re pick from 9,10 or 11 foot.
I treated myself to the 11’.Ive been using it for chub on the Loddon and Blackwater,everything from link ledger to 2oz maggot feeder and its coped well with chub to 6,2.
No barbel on it as yet, however the match boys haul carp on them to doubles!
Shimano beastmaster 9-11’ is another option,the old version has three full top sections if you find one(think the new version has push in tips)
Certainly not for pulling big doubles away from snags but much more fun than a heavier Avon rod,
Cheers,John
 
What you really want is a Drennan Super Specialist Duo if you can find one ....The 1 1/4 is Absolutely perfect for chub, the 1 1/2 is brilliant for floater fishing for carp to high doubles
