Coarse rods: The Barbus Maximus MKII
Description: 2 piece 11 foot barbel rod
Reel lines: 6 - 8lbs. breaking strain
Maximum casting weight: 1oz
Test curve: 1½lb.
The first cane rod of the modern era to be designed specifically for barbel fishing, this rod is beautifully balanced, sensitive, and has all the refined power one is likely to need. Notwithstanding the plethora of inert tubular lightning rods, we firmly believe that this is the paragon of barbel rods.
As the specification shows, the Barbus Maximus is also a very effective light carp rod, where circumstances allow.
The 24" handle has an onion-shaped top.

“The new rod was an absolute delight; it had the power I needed, yet also
the necessary sensitivity to allow me to judge perfectly when to bring
pressure to bear. And tho it was too dark to see exactly where the fish was
at any given time, the rod knew precisely its position. I was always in
touch” (Chris Yates writing to Edward Barder about the Barbus Maximus rod)
Current barbel record holder Steve Curtin christened his new Barbus Maximus
in January 2004 with a magnificent barbel weighing 18lbs 6oz (read
