SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

[Alan Rose]

Hi all,

Looking for an 11’ Torrix 1.75 for small(er) river barbel fishing and/or rolling meat. Not fussy about fittings. Been doing my homework and think one of these would best suit my fishing contexts.

Would be grateful for a PM if you think you have one you’d part with

Great rod best in the range for that method Alan

Hi Alan
There are 2 that I have seen on marketplace ( Facebook)
One one them I had many years ago.
Built by Mark Tunley and ideal for rolling meat.
Seller is in Portsmouth and priced at £175.
Beautiful rod that I regret selling.

Thanks Kevin, I’d be willing to travel for a good one, but that’s a 450 mile round trip

I have 2 beautiful peregrines , both 1.75 Alan. The 111' has a 4oz spliced quiver and the 12 titanium. Cost a lot and we are 200 miles apart. I don't use them and sadly due to age ( mine ) unlikely to again really. Just sentimental value to keep I suppose. But if either rows your boat, pm me. Alec

Very kind of you Alec, and although they sound great, I’m not quite reaching for the oars

Enjoy the search. That's half the fun I feel, seeing what's out there! Enjoy. I always have a list of one or two which I still seek, for no other reason than that's what I want. Wants are much more fun to persue that needs.When the list is blank , it will be because I am too. Ha.

Alec, where are you based ?

Glorious Essex

Johnson Ross are showing them in stock if nothing turns up Alan
Price is very reasonable for a new one

Check you’re happy with the ringing. I bought two and one has a (I think) weirdly big 30mm butt ring. The other has 20mm and looks lovely.

Thanks guys, if a used one isn’t forthcoming that’s a decent option at a good price

Give them a call @Alan Rose ….they will modify to your own requirements. they build in -house to a high standard and are very accommodating

Been drooling over that rod Kevin. Oh for a Delorean and a crazy physicist! Or just anyone from Pompey making a trip up north!!

..Did I do a good enough impression of an angry double figure barbel then??

I got one off here a month or so ago and it was a JR build - quality is excellent
Christian is right- the rings seem to be a whole size bigger than on a 1.75 chimera but I don’t mind them -personal taste I guess

You were pretty good. I hope you managed to get the hook out of your top lip pal

Was that the one that Robert Morgan was selling? It was a month too early for me (or I was a month late!!)
