Three piece barbel rods

Daniel Jeffery said:
All my fishing trips are via train/bus/tube, so totally agree with this sentiment. Two pc 12 ft rods are a no-no. Like @Huanzhou Zhu I tried the Korum Opportunist Xtnd rod. Tried it once, hated it. At least my broom now has a new handle.

Now, if legering/rolling, I use the JW travel rods (Avon & Barbel, the new AD versions) and for the money they are brilliant. Paired with a Korum Opportunist XTD landing net handle it’s a super-compact, tube-friendly set up.

If float fishing it’ll be a Drennan Tench, Korum Glide (3pc 12ft) or Acolyte Plus, the longest rod I risk on public transport.

Is the 4 piece Avon not an 11ft blank Rich ?

another vote for this excellent rod.
I use it for all my barbel fishing.
Ive also managed to butcher another rod to give myself an alternative top section that has a quivertip...... game changer
