Shimano Technium Specialist (with the avon top, not the dreadful quiver section!) is about the most perfect tench float rod I've ever used.
Thanks the replys, going to Ireland for 6 months, so not quite sure about the size but when we where there before it was between 3and 6 pounds.Waters will idealy be classic lilles and reeds. All advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Disagree on that one mate!
I'd say quite the opposite, I love the quiver for chub but really didn't get on with the avon, for anything, even though I bought 2 extra avons a few years back.
Opinions ay?
Yes opinions eh? I remember we had a discussion in a thread sometime ago on this subject. Horses for courses and all that.
Its why I cannot understand in this day and age when carp are getting bigger nobody has cottoned on to heavier float rods .Or put it another way , an Avon with a very very fast taper. So you do not bump the smaller fish off but still have a bit of grunt for the larger " waterpigs ".It seems that either people use pellet wagglers or move up to a broom stick and legering. Not a lot in between unless you want to pay big money for them and even then the choice is extremely limited
