JW YOUNG SPECIMEN BARBEL MULTI TIP TRAVEL ROD

THIS is a handy little travel rod for anyone thinking about sneaking in a spot of barbel fishing when they’re on holiday. Ideal to tuck away in the boot of the car, the five-sectioned 12ft carbon blank has a powerful through action, able to deal with the largest of fish.

It comes with push-in quivertips of 2.5oz, 2oz and 1.5oz, and an Avon-style tip that could be used for heavy floatfishing. In a tough go-anywhere tube, other key features include high-quality lined guides, keeper ring, and a full cork handle with forefinger grip.
