Yes, I know the Avon rod bit has been done to death but I am joining a club with barbel water on the Dane, Dee and Severn. I think I will mostly fish the Dane as it's closest so I want an Avon rod with probably a 1.5lb tc and 11ft long that will do the Dane fish justice but not be outgunned on the occasional trip to the Severn.
Nicepix has already recommended the JW Young Travel Barbel Avon but it's 1.75lb.
On another thread I asked if anyone had experience of the Young's Ray Walton 1.6lb tc rod as that looks like an option, although I ain't going to be rolling meat like the master!
Any thoughts chaps? Currently watching a Wilson Avon Quiver (definitely the Masterline 11' original on eBay), but thinking the Drennan Series 7 in 1.5lb option looks good too.
