Hi guys,
Anyone used or tried them for feeder style fishing ?
I will use them for a small water that contain big tench ( up to 7lbs from what i have already caught), big bream and roach.
Of course, there Will be some carp caught with them so need some backbone in it !
Is the action semi parabolic or really through action ?
Thank’s

Sorry haven't got the 1.25/1.5tc all rounders but I bought a couple of 12ft 1.75tc 3K barbel rods last year, I have mixed opinions on those.
overall they are fair value for money, ...sale price with 20% off special �38 each from Total Fishing Tackle
the slim handle & compact reel fitting is too narrow, just rolls off your forearm playing fish off the reels
even my nephew who has 'lady hands' said they were too thin
a bit wobbly and tip heavy , I was going to put some lead in the handle but would have needed 7-8oz required to balance up with an SS2600
'classic players action', sensitive tips and they don't lock up until you get to the butt
1.75tc's have loads of power in reserve, caught no barbel on them but ambushing carp in snaggy margins- the rods just bend and roll upper doubles over in their tracks.
I gave em some stick.
Cast well enough but a couple of fish kited away from an island 40-45yds and I didn't really feel in control until they were close in.

The 1.75lb korum barbel rod is what you want.
I have the 2lbers, and my mate had the above in 11ft, chucking 5oz loaded BIG feeders 3/4s across the trent and a great action. Not too through, so plenty of beef in the butt and not too floppy.
5oz of lead on this packed feeder.

you could give the team at the tackle box a call and ask them what in the darent valley range they would recommend. Those rods are v v popular for specimen tench roach bream perch etc etc
I have some darent elites in 11ft 1lb that i use for tench on the method / feeder and they are superb. I see theres a couple of ebay at the moment.
I bought one and tested it out with bigger feeders at a local carp match water and they handled low doubles with ease, but are superb for big roach / perch & tench.
So i bought the blanks from tackle box and built my final set from scratch
One of my best buys

Besides the white tip it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't much difference in capabilities between the 1.5tc barbel rod and 1.5tc all rounder.
WShould think that the 11ft 1.25tc would be more than sufficient for feeder work just might not want to float-fish with on one all day.

The all-rounder is 1.5lb and more through action.
The 1.75lb barbel rod is more tippy , semi progressive action.

Great, i don’t want want a floppy rod , if it’s semi progressive it’s great !
I had a fox stalker 12ft 2,25lbs and this one was too soft for my liking.

The 11" 1,25lb Korum 3K Allrounder could be your perfect short to medium tench rod. Have one myself and would classify it as semi parabolic. Perfect to fish with Drennan Inline Maggot feeders, or similar. Use mine for float(er) fishing for carp and light barbel work.
When I compare these to my Harrison 4-piece Avon rod's, the Harrison's are trough action.
The Korum is a great rod for its price. Nice quality blank, reasonable fittings. (too) Thin cork handle but what could you wish more for < 60gbp. You won't regret them.

Oh if it semi parabolic it’s more on my interest!
What weight feeder do you cast with ? And what do you think is the max casting weight for them ?

The new Wychwood range looks good.
