Duo-Lite Extreme Barbel
This is the first 15’ barbel rod to be specifically designed for wide and tidal rivers. The very special blank has a unique design to allow you to get the maximum amount of line above the surface of the river. Many of our wide and tidal rivers have an extremely heavy current running through the centre and it’s important to get the rod tip as high as possible so that the rig isn’t constantly being dragged out of position.

Supplied with both a solid 2 ¾ lb top section and a 2 ¾ lb quiver section which features four interchangeable tips. The two softer glass ones are rated at 4 and 6 oz whilst the two stiffer carbon models are rated at 4 and 7 oz.

The Extreme Barbel will cope with the biggest feeders and the largest leger weights that are needed for this specialist style of fishing. It’s not unusual to use up to 8 oz in many circumstances which is essential to hold station in these big and powerful rivers.
As well as coping with the heavyweights the Extreme Barbel is also a great caster as you may well find yourself fishing 80 yards across to the far bank. Although the blank has bags of power to cope with these adverse conditions the tips themselves are surprisingly forgiving and will act as a brilliant built in shock absorber ensuring that you don’t straighten or pull smaller hooks or crack off final hook links.

Although most of this style of fishing will be conducted across and slightly downstream which is ideally suited for the solid tip you will often be confronted with having to fish upstream a situation where the interchangeable quiver tips come into their own. You can select just the right amount of power not only to tension against the leger weight without dislodging it but also absorb the fluctuating currents and cope with much of the debris that is associated with tidal rivers.
