I had a barbel rod built by one of Harrison blanks recommended rod builders almost two years ago. I have never used he rod yet for its main purpose, (barbel fishing), however I have used it extensively for carp fishing with a float. I have to say I think this is one of the nicest rods I have ever used, despite it not being ideal for casting a light float, though a 10grm surface controller is superb.
My main interest in fishing is with the float, most of which I make myself, Due to the action of this rod and doing a fair bit of research I decided to go ahead and have a GTI SU float rod built for dedicated float fishing, for larger carp and maybe a bit of river fishing when I get the chance.
I have to say after using this rod over the past few weeks, again I am so pleased with the action of this rod. It casts a heavier float well, but the playing action is amazing. Not the lightest of rods but certainly no slouch.
