About Cadence CR10 Barbel Rods
These amazing barbel rods have been developed and tested by our brand ambassador Des Taylor.
They have been designed specifically for modern barbel anglers that demand the highest quality specifications and performances. Des has tested these rods over the past 18 months using the 1.75lb TC on his beloved River Severn and Warwickshire Avon and the stepped-up version of 2lb TC on the larger rivers like the Trent and Thames and in that time has caught many barbel, catches that have included up to 20 barbel in a short session and individual fish well into double figures. He has designed two rods in the range that cover all but the most extreme conditions on small or large rivers and to quote Des “Over the years I have been involved in designing a number of rods but these are without a doubt the best rods I have ever put my name too”.
Cadence CR10 Barbel Rods 2.50 and 3.00 TC
These additions to our CR10 Barbel Rods are the big boys of the barbel rod world! Designed to fish the heaviest of rivers, allowing you to bully big fish away from snags and giving you the ability to cast bigger leads and feeders. These rods are not just a heavy carp rod, they have the same, beautiful action as the lighter test curve barbel rods, but have been stepped up, so they won’t fold in the flow and can cast bigger weights with ease.

I love my Cadence Barbel 2lb TC. Lovely playing action, even though it is easily capable of casting a 5oz plus groundbait feeder three quarters of the way over the River Trent. The ring spacing is spot on and they are large so don’t get clogged with weed from a flooded river. Only had mine since Christmas so I’ve not used it loads but had catches that included three twelve pounders from a snag pit of a swim that required “hit and hold” tactics and a personal best 13lb 3oz beauty. Can’t wait for the new season in June!
