A great all round speciment/coarse rod. Unlike bulky, clumsy carp rods, the Hyperloop Barbel is smooth and gentle. I have used it in many situations including light bream fishing, carp and medium/heavy river fishing aswell as light/medium float fishing. This rod has also been used for spinning, including light sea/estuery legering/floating giving great results and coping well.
It is a great all round rod that I would not be without. I am not into the small stuff (roach etc) so this rod is perfectly suited to me. It incorporates a great reel seat, providing a strong base a comfortable position. Nice big eyes on the rings give a good line feed. This rod also has a very nice through action. It is suitable for nearly all sorts of fishing and I sincerely recommend it to anyone not wishing to fork out loads on some fancy, higher priced rod.

Nice review, but for the higher rates you should really include more information such as what the handle is made from, is it a carbon/glassfibre mix blank, what kind of guides it has ( eg.single leg), what length it is, what weight it is, are there any flat spots in the line when playing a fish, how much it cost you, how much could I purchase it for, what colour it is...........etc. etc. Hope this helps you, catch you soon, Stan :-)
