1.5-1.75 Tc

[dalesman]

Been taking my nephew fishing for most of the season and he has been lapping it up especially since he has hooked and landed he first Barbel of 5lb.

I have promised a rod for xmas. But I am wanting a rod that with a standard tip so not confusing him with a second tip with push in quiver tips, any ideas who makes and supply's such a rod as standard?

Thanks in advance lads

How about a JW Avon+Quiver John Wilson Avon Quiver Deluxe - should give him a good start!
Tight Lines!

Not suitable as it has a carrier quiver section and push in tips which aren't required and neither is the dolly section to take it to 13' plus its 1.25 tc.

Sorry Dalesman,
Misread the requirement in the post as "wanting a rod that with a standard tip ..... with a second tip with push in quiver tips" - now I'm confused!
I must admit to thinking that the Avon was a 1.5TC - but can't find validation of this - however his 'Barbel Quiver' is quoted as 1.75TC.
You can always leave unwanted bits at home - then curse that you did this when you find you need an extra 2' to get over a reed bed! mg:

Dalesman take a look at this Abu Garcia Specimen Twin Tip Perfect Barbel Rod ** RRP £89.99 ** FREE POST ** | eBay
ignore the link price it's £39.99

I take it that any rod with more than one tip section is not wanted?; even a multi-tip with both tip sections being Avon type? (with no quivertip section)?

Otherwise what about the 12ft Grey's Multi-tip Specialist rod which comes with either 1.5lb & 2lb tc normal tip sections, or 1.25lb & 1.75lb tip sections; I have two of these 1.5lb/2lb rods and have used them for Carp (surface/close/medium range), Barbel (normal & floodwater) and Tench (using the 1.5lb tip), and I love using them whenever I'm not wanting to use the 1.7lb tip or quivertip on my Barbel rods.

I think they also do a slightly less expensive rod which comes with a single tip section too.

If you just want a single rod with no Avon or extra quiver tip options then have a look at the Fox Royale range of barbel rods.

There are so many on the market, best go to a good tackle shop and have a look at what you want.

To be honest, you would be better off getting a rod with two top sections, one Avon tip, one Quiver tip.

Say if i am wrong, but it sounds like the lad is newish to fishing, but enjoying it.

So by buying a twin tip rod, he will be able to further his skills as he gets more confident, and learning more by fishing a different style.

Just an Idea.

To be fair Greenie I read it exactly the same way and I would have suggested something similar.

I'm wondering if Dalesman means...

I am wanting a rod with a standard tip, so as not to confuse him with a second tip (or carrier section) with push in quiver tips?



Agree with Ray's post above about the twin tip ^^^

After all, you don't have to give it him with the second tip and it might be a nice surprise a couple of months later if he wants to spread his wings a bit.

Either way good luck in your search, I'm sure he'll be delighted with it whatever you go for.

There are plenty to choose with a 1.75 standard tip, not so many 1.5 it's true, I am currently sizing down my collection, I have a couple of mint/ unused rods that might suit.
