| '`NOT JUST A BARBEL ROD`' | | Strengths:
The 1.75TC can handle most flood conditions with ease and is very capable of casting a small method a good distance on still waters.It also has a lovely through action from tip to butt which comes in to its own when playing hard fighting fish close to the net. | | Weaknesses:
None | | Overall:
I own two of these rods and have played big barbel in flooded conditions on the river ribble,big carp and tench on still waters.......No complaints!!!! |

| 'GOOD ALL ROUNDER' | | Strengths:
Great as a method feeder rod.Long range or weedy water for tench and bream,or you could even use it for Barbel! | | Weaknesses:
The keeper ring is rubbish,mine fell apart after 2 trips! Lost the bit you put the hook through | | Overall:
A nice rod,great action and plenty of feeling through the blank.Price seems to be about £90 in most places,which is pretty good.I used mine for on the Method,and later to freeline mixers at Thorpe Lea recently.It took both in its stride,ctaching low doubles that fought like fury |

| 'VERY GOOD ROD.' | | Strengths:
Good finish, good through action, ideally suited to big barbel. | | Weaknesses:
Keeper ring got knocked off fairly quickly. | | Overall:
A very good rod which does exactly what it 'says on the tin'. I've used it extensively for three years barbelling and its handled everything without a hitch including a fair few doubles. |

| 'PULLED A 12LBER OUT FROM UNDER A TREE WITH ONE' | | Strengths:
Nice action. Firm in all the right places but sensitive when you need it! | | Weaknesses:
Keeper rings are vulnerable to snapping off. Single leg rings are not to everyone's tastes. | | Overall:
Good rod for the price. Shop around, don't pay top whack and you won't be disappointed |

| 'GOING TO GET ANOTHER ONE' | | Strengths:
Handled a double figure Barbel on the Severn with ease. Used it for fishing the Method for tench and carp. It casts well and absorbs the lunges beautifully. Usual Fox quality. | | Weaknesses:
Yet to try with a big fish on a flooded Severn, should cope well. Overpriced initially but good deals are available now. | | Overall:
I really like this rod and intend getting another. Can be used in a variety of situations including floatfishing. Quiver tip is softer than the avon top. |
