The Shimano Alivio AX Barbel Classic is the perfect rod designed for those anglers who like to tackle small, intimate waters for barbel fish. The perfect entry level rod for the angler looking to begin their barbel fishing career, this rod is also ideal for those anglers who want another rod in their barbel fishing arsenal without breaking the bank.
Designed with low water levels and close range fishing in mind, this rod comes in two test curves. Both the 1.5lb and 1.75lb versions of this rod offer you incredible tip sensitivity – which is ideal for registering shy bites from large fish. The rods also come supplied with a spare quiver tip. You’ll find this tip perfect if you’re fishing with castors and maggots and you require that additional sensitivity.
The rod has a screw in reel seat so, when you’re tackling those really big fish you’re able to have full confidence in the security of your reel. When it comes to picking a reel, a 4000 sized reel will balance perfectly and will be well suited to the variety of uses this rod has. Versatile, the Alivio AX Barbel Classic can be used across the coarse discipline with ease. It is recommended that you fish this rod with a 6lb – 10lb line, as this will achieve the best results on the bank.
The Alivio AX Barbel Classic is a great looking rod. Constructed with a XT30 blank, to give you the combination of strength and sensitivity that is required for low water level river fishing, the rod is finished with electric blue on the whippings. This makes it really stand out from the crowd on the bank as something a little special. The stylish cork handle makes gripping this rod easy, as well as finishing the rod with a classic appearance.
