" I simply wanted a rod that would fullfill all my demands of the varied rivers that I enjoy.
I needed it to be able to give me pleasure on the smaller, sparkling rivers like the Loddon, Kennet and Teme, yet not be undergunned on a flood level Thames, Severn or Trent.

Working with Ian Tucker of Custom Rods, there was no doubt that the Harrison Torrix blank would deliver our aspirations. It's tip sensitivity was a very important part of the equation, yet it's power when needed to subdue even the biggest barbel was paramount.

Over 40 years a barbel fisher, guiding and teaching many novice and experienced anglers, has given me a unique understanding of the ever changing rivers. I have always refused to put my name to any products until now.

Together we have formulated the "Barbus Limited Edition", numbered GPE1 through to GPE99. No more than 99 rods will ever be built.

  
An exclusive design at a Test Curve of 1.75lb,  12 foot and incorporating Garnet and Gold Whippings, Silver Butt End and Collar, Keeper Ring, Joint line up Markings.  Fuji DPS 18 reel seat with bright hoods. 10 off Seymo SicLite braid friendly three leg rings in sizes 20 to 8mm with 8mm tip ring. Rod bag.

Each rod will come with a signed certificate of Authenticity and a free copy of Grahams new book "Memories and Milestones".

If you are passionate about your barbel fishing and simply want, the best, allround barbel rod ever built...this is the one."
