Anybody know where I can get one of these ? They're discontinued now & I've trawled the net endlessly with no joy.

Everytime I thought I'd found one I drew a blank because the website was out of date...which I find really irritating.

Hello S-Kippy,
Found this on the TFG website (of all places) lol, www.totalfishinggear.co.uk. Roll mouse over the Product tab at the top of the page, the click on Rods, then click on Specialist Rods, then scroll down page and click on TFG gear x series Barbel Rod.
There are also contact details on the website.

The TFGear X Series Plus Barbel Rod is the definitive range for the river enthusiast. Built using the latest woven carbon fibre blanks and the very best in modern rod design techniques. From the exquisite TFGear X Series Plus 11' River and Stream, rated as the perfect small river specimen chub rod, to the all round mastery of the river and pit and big river barbell rods then finally culminating in the ultimate big water weapon, the awesome TFGear X Series Plus floodwater model, there is a rod here to suit every dedicated specialist.
Supplied with two tops Avon and Quiver tip
Fully woven butt section for strength
Fuji reel seat
Top quality sic guides
Traditional cork handles
Smooth progressive action

I hope this helps.

Tight Lines.

Do you know something I almost bought this rod on many occasions it appears to be the ideal river stalking rod for chub and roach but might struggle a bit if the dreaded barbel put in an appearance. Did they bring out a new version called something different but in reality probably the same rod, they usually do things like that to generate more sales?

Viper : Its on the site but they haven't got any.I found a few like this.

Graham: I'm hoping they did just that though its an 11 footer and most now seem to be 12 footers.You should have had one...it is a fantastic rod for chub,roach,perch etc but not enough oomph for barbel.

I've got one.I want another.

I dont know if they have this rod S-kippy but Fishtec do no end of TFG stuff. Maybe worth having a look on their site. Also they provide a good service which is always good :)

Hallo Spidey

Nothing.There's also nothing wrong with my Grauvell MT,the original Wilson Avon I refurbished last year,the Drennan Specialist Duo,the Marksman Avon or the Fox Specialist Avon...but that is not the point.

I am indeed a tart but I want another River & Stream.http://www.fmcarp.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

well it seems now that even tf gear havnt even got one , i have phoned all the big shops and most of the small ones but so far no good,but tony,s tackle bought some what he described as cracking rods at the weekend , grand slam there called he is doing them for £44 if you want one , he said they are every bit as good as the grey,s range so they cant be bad. Sorry i cant help anymore mate but i did try. tight lines.
