Rovex John Wilson Avon Quiver Rod

Rovex, the manufacturer of the late, great John Wilson’s Avon Quiver rod believes it to be the best-selling rod of all time. The rod has been available for many years and naturally it improves with each version, in its latest guise the rod is incredibly versatile. The basic rod is 11ft/3.4m and is sold with two tips, an Avon tip and a Quiver tip, which has three push-in quivers rated 1.5oz (red), 2oz (green) and 2.5oz (yellow). If you’re looking to fish at a greater distance or in a stronger current the rod comes with a 2ft dolly butt which inserts above the detachable handle, turning the rod into a 13ft/3.9m variant, the recommended line breaking strain for the Rovex Quiver rod is 3-8lb mainline.

Thanks to the versatility of the rod, it’s a great allrounder and ideal for a number of angling environments, an afternoon on the river, a day ticket on a commercial venue or it could be a great holiday rod.

The Rovex Avon rod sports a high-grade cork handle giving it that classic look, splitting the handle is a DPS style reel seat which is sure to anchor down your reel and minimise any lateral movement. The blank features minimal branding but does feature John Wilson’s signature at the base of the blank, the blank itself has a carbon finish complimented with black whippings.
