About this rod

More quality tackle for sale this week - please see my 'other items'
Sorry - UK Mainland bidders only. Please ask for shipping to N.Ireland before bidding.

Up for auction is this superb 'Nexave Barbel Classic' specialist rod from Shimano.
Please note - the quivertip section is a custom-made replacement.

One of the nicest feeling Avon-style rods I've handled in recent times.
With a 1.5lb test curve it's a very versatile rod indeed.

2 tips supplied - an 'Avon' tip section plus a quivertip section with permanently spliced-in tip (custom-made section)

3-piece 12ft long with a lovely old school progressive action.
Certainly not over-gunned should some decent chub show up.
I'd also look to use it for a spot of surface work for carp, and for bream/tench deeper down on still-waters.

Quality low resin XT100/60 carbon blank.

Closed length 187cm

Complete with original rod sleeve. 

Condition - Very good condition. 
As previously mentioned the quivertip section is a custom-made replacement that I commissioned after purchasing the rod with just the Avon tip section. It has worked out very well indeed - see last 3 photos.

Any questions please ask.

I'm also selling some other tackle this week - please see my other items.
I will combine postage wherever possible so you save, just message me for invoice.

Collection in person is welcome.

Note - I will accept a return but condition must be as when sent. 
Buyer pays return postage. Please notify me in the first instance.
