I`m looking to get away from carp fishing this season and need to buy a pair of all round rods for tench , bream small carp , in fact day session pleasure fishing for what ever is in the water on the day .

The John Wilson Signature Avon Rods look just right for about £70 each and I have looked at the reveiws on FM which are a few years old , I`m just trying to check incase there are any better rods out there for the same sort ofprice ./forum/smilies/i_dont_know_smiley.gif

You will not be dissapointed in those rods Les.

I was Tench fishing with mine, but I was also getting 20lb Carp in on them useing 8lb mainline. A nice forgiveing action on them, especially when you have a good fish close to the net, for when they make that sudden lunge for freedom.

Also they handle Barbel well which fight harder than Carp. It's a good all rounder mate.

Shop around Les, I got three for £180.

I'm very pleased, great all round rods!

I have gone from catching 6oz Roach on one day without bumping them off, to hard fighting Barbel and double figure Carp the next day. There are times that I wonder why I use anything else. But that's a tackle tart for you.

A brilliant rod, but just one word of warning!....should you break any of the quivers, I found it practically impossible to get hold of a replacement. Thanks to Steve (DB) off the site I did in the end. Just as a matter of interest, has anyone off the site needed to get hold of a replacement quiver...and actually got one?

Carp, chub and barbel....it will take them all on.

On the road to rack & ruin !!!
Les,i havea few of the john wilson avon quiver rods in various guises....some have broken quiver sections and i just use the avon sections.I have used the avon tops for float fishing for carp on commercials,stalking carp with a pin reel in the margins,light method feeder fishing,fishing with bobbins for tench etc.....

The quiver section is very versitile as well and i have used mine bream fishing in ireland,where it took a hell of a lot of abuse and passed with flying colours.I also use mine all the time when chub fishing.

They are brilliant mate.....get one!!!

This should be good for some heated (but constructive) discussion!

I have a couple of epix pros, they "do the job"....BUT....they are a step down from Shimano. The rods you can order with confidence Les, but play with the reels in the shop and compare, Shimano are tops with me anyway, pay a few extra quid and you wont regret it.
