Looking for some feedback from people who own a set of these rods, I am looking at getting some 12ft 3.25 not a lot of reviews on line

Will cover most situations, will cast a long way in capable hands, but definitely not an all out casting rod. Not a small water rod either, but ok if your careful. Not liking mine v much tbh, too stiff and unresponsive for me, but for sure others really rate them.
IMHO the 12ft 6in te is a far nicer rod.

Stood test of time and perfect all round fishing rods for me.
Fishing small snaggy waters to big reservoirs they fit the bill!

I've got the Torrix in 3lb, lovely all rounder for most waters. They can cast a PVA bag, will do 100yds no probs with just a baited rig, good for playing fish on, quality blank 👍

Thanks for the replies
I fish mixed venues so want something that will be a good around rod, what are they like for playing fish close in?
I have another set of rods for small waters but for the price I am hoping to be able to use the torrix as much as i can

I think the 3lb tc torrix is a far better all round rod than the 3.25 , and a much nicer rod to play fish on as well

3.25 are too soft for me I use a century SP for everything I do I just prefer a more powerful rod

I invested in a pair of 10' Harrison torrix custom corks for the canal,ideal for me as I mostly fish canals April to September then lakes onwards but not massive lakes.
And second time I used them threaded everything back through and went to lead around the lake and I snapped the top section clean,must have been a fault and I got in touch with tackle box and they sent a tube to put rod in and then a courier and replaced it.
Great service from a fantastic tackle company.

I've been using the Torrix range for a few years now, all made by Vic Gibson. Have in my collection 2.75, 3.00, 3.25tc along with a set of TEs and 2 x 10ft stalker rods.
For me anything under 100 yards the 3lb handle great in-cast and playing fish under the rod tip and is my go to rod when I don't need the distance.
The 3.25 have pretty much the same feel when under the tip but will get you out to 130-140 yards on a good cast and is a rod I use alot for PVA bag fishing.
Not used the TEs that much as purchased them for a few big lakes but never ended up fishing them, used them in France and Germany and managed 160 yards all week without any hassle.
If I was to just have one set I think it would be the 3.25tc, as an all rounder it hard to beat for everything I do but then it's going to depend on our style and lakes you fish.

The 12ft 3.25tc and 12ft6inch te to me are chalk and cheese with the 12ft6inch te being a far nicer rod to both cast and play fish but the 12ft 2.25tc is a superb small water rod and probably the best of the torrix range.

Personally never saw why people rated them so much. Brought some and they were too stiff in my opinion for an all rounder. Soon sold them and got some 3.5 hi-s thought they were much nicer.

Yes look at the 12' 6" TE

Have two sets of the Torrix 12-6 TE's both made by Vic Gibson.
They really are a nice playing rod with a good through action. My first set in cork are now about 8 years old and are still in great condition. My maximum chuck is about 125 yards and they do that comfortably, in better hands, probably 150 plus, but I do think the blank is a bit of an all rounder.
I don't think you'd be disappointed one bit.

Agree it's bizzare are these people beginers or something is it because they really do not know what they are talking about ?Had the 12.6 torrix te,s after listening to what turned out to be bad advice they were awfull for playing fish they are broom handles and probably more of a light sea fishing estuary rod .They are not a fishing rod but a casting one and most people fish well short of what you need these rods for .I sold mine within 2 weeks great under the tip has to be one of the biggest lies you hear in carp fishing .One of the funniest site you will see is a set of these sat on a big europod on a acre pond seen it loads of times but suppose you have to follow the sheep
