JW Young Specimen Barbel Multi Tip Travel rod
PAY AROUND
£99.99
This is a handy little travel rod for anyone thinking about sneaking in a spot of barbel fishing when they’re on holiday. Ideal to tuck away in the boot of the car, the five-sectioned 12ft carbon blank has a powerful through action, able to deal with the largest of fish.
It comes with push-in quivertips of 2.5oz, 2oz and 1.5oz, and an Avon-style tip that could be used for heavy floatfishing. In a tough go-anywhere tube, other key features include high-quality lined guides, keeper ring, and a full cork handle with forefinger grip.
JW Young 11ft Avon Quiver
PAY AROUND
£74.99
A legendary multi-use, twin-top rod at an affordable price that’s set many a specialist angler on the road to successful specimen bream and tench fishing.
Almost as famous as the John Wilson Avon Quiver, the JW Young model was always thought to be just a little bit more ‘up-market’, though the two rods are remarkably similar in performance.
Like the John Wilson model, you get a 1.25lb top section for float fishing or touch legering, but the quiver top has a spliced-in 2oz tip for all other leger duties.
Ideally suited to fishing reel lines from 3lb to 7lb this little rod will cover a multitude of methods and catch virtually all coarse fish swimming.
Comes with a two-foot ‘dolly’ section so it can be used at 11ft or 13ft to suit different swims and ranges.
