TS12-125
12ft/1lb 4oz:
£290.00
Eight rings plus tip - 20mm butt/8mm
tip. |
Built
on the 1.25lb Torrix Specialist blank. Quite similar to the
1lb 10oz Interceptor but with the woven Torrix butt section.
This rod can also be built as a float rod with a shorter handle
and 13 float type rings plus tip. |
|
TS12-175
12ft/1lb 12oz:
£295.00
Eight rings plus tip - 25mm butt/8mm
tip. |
Built on the 1.75lb Torrix Specialist
blank. The Torrix 175 and 200 are slightly thicker in overall
diameter than the Chimeras 1 and 2, but are thinner walled
and lighter. The Torrix also bends more progressively into
the butt making, to my mind, a nicer fish playing tool. Despite
its stated test curve this is currently my first choice for
roach fishing at medium to long range with heli-feeder rigs.
It is soft enough in the tip to handle 2lb bottoms and size
18 hooks when roaching, but has the power lower down to tame
big tench. It's not half bad for chubbing either! |
|
TS12-200
12ft/2lb: £300.00
Eight rings plus tip - 25mm butt/8mm
tip. |
Built on the 2lb Torrix Specialist
blank. Stiffer in the butt and more tippy than the lighter
Torrixes. |
|
TS12-225
12ft/2.25lb: £305.00
Eight rings plus tip - 25mm
butt/8mm tip.
|
A more recent
introduction which I have only recently had the chance to
build (June 2022). This has a less tippy action than the
TS12-200 which is more to my taste. If I was looking for
a step up from the TS12-175 for tench/bream/barbel this
would be my choice. A lovely light and balanced blank which
could be held all day.

TS12-250
12ft/2.5lb: £365.00
Eight rings plus tip - 25mm
butt/8mm tip.
|
Built
on the 2.5lb Torrix carp blank.
Over recent seasons I have built a number of these rods for
barbel anglers, mostly fishing the Trent, as an alternative
to the Chimera No.3. |
|
TS11-17511ft/1.75lb:
£285.00
Six rings plus tip - 25mm butt/8mm
tip. |
A
cracking shorter version of the TS12-175. |
|
TS11-20011ft/2lb:
£290.00
Six rings plus tip - 25mm butt/8mm
tip. |
For
some seasons this has been my preferred tench/bream rod for
smaller waters. Destined to become a classic in my opinion. |
|
TS10-275
10ft/2.75lb: £295.00
Six rings plus tip - 30mm butt/10mm
tip. |
Another
blank intended for carp fishing, this one as a stalker. Despite
that provenance it has become my favourite eel rod. The middle
to through action and test curve being just to my liking.
Pikers who have handled this rod have echoed my thoughts about
its suitability as a boat pike rod for use with soft/small
baits because of its slightly softer tip compared to my P-4. |
