I've got the Avon Duo which is the previous rod and it's a good rod. Matches 6lb t0 8lb line Hook lengths down to around 3lb on the quiver top. Excellent chub rod, fine for close in tench fishing, hasn't really got the grunt to cast anything more than a medium feeder on still waters. My only moan is that the quivers are too light for river fishing. The heaviest is 2oz and it could really do with a 3oz tip for rivers. I'm currently investigating whether I can get a 3oz tip for reasonable money.
