Advanta Discovery RVS River Ambush Rod, The RVS River Ambush is perfect for those confined areas that a normal length specimen rod will just not fit into. Designed primarily for river fishing for large barbel and chub, this rod is also suitable for stalking carp.
The responsive and powerful through action blank will cushion the force of playing a large fish under your feet and against snags, offering great fish control. Fitted with a sensitive and strong fibre glass tip for positive bite indication.
Built on a 30T blank and finished with strong and durable LTS guides, DPS 18mm reel seat complete with a 3K carbon barrel, and finished with a high grade cork handle, this rod has the build quality to offer many years of trouble free use.
The River Ambush has a delicate fibre glass quiver tip, which allows for smooth, even drop shotting. While it is predominantly designed for close quarter fishing, it could equally handle smaller lake carp.
With a 1.5lb test curve, this is a good starter river rod, and is fitted with a soft and sensitive luminous painted hi-viz tip, ideal for cloudy side streams and eddies, and designed to give a reliable, positive bite indication.
With a durable matte finish on a two-piece 30T carbon blank, this rod combines straightforward design charm with cutting edge design information – the perfect blend of beauty and brains. A high grade cork handle and carbon reel seat add stylish finishing touches to this powerful rod that looks as good as it feels.
If you’re heading out barbel fishing, particularly, a good quality pair of polaroid sunglasses, in the summer months, as well as a good quality rod all year round, is essential – barbel like to feed in clear water over gravel, and, in the summer, polaroid glasses take the glare off the water’s surface, meaning you can spot likely feeding grounds and hiding places.
