Free Spirit CTX Heavy Water Barbel Tamer Rod 2.75lb 40mm Avon Matt Finish
One of the challenges when targeting big Barbel in powerful, snaggy rivers is being able to present a bait effectively and then control your quarry when you hook it. Coping with long casting and heavy water flows with the use of feeders and gripper leads often up to 8oz means the use of a special kind of Barbel tool.
Since it is necessary to have good bite registration the very tip of the rod needs to be sensitive. The way the tip reacts with the flow is critical - the rod top needs to ‘nod’ in the current to prevent the lead or feeder being dislodged. This requires an action specific to Barbel and is quite different to a re-badged carp blank.
When the river is in spate condition there are obstructions and floating debris to contend with so rods are fished with the tip high in the air to reduce the drag on the line. We offer these rods in 12’ but also 13’ to help get the tip up as high as possible.
