Absolutely fantastic - Leigh who sold me the rods at Evesham festival is a credit to the company - spent a lot of time ensuring I got the correct rods for my needs - thank you 🤩
Such a lovely rod to use
Have not used them yet but they are all ready for the mighty Trent! The quality of finish and colour are outstanding can’t wait to try them. The sleeves are top notch and I will be buying the quiver to match. Service was also very good
Ordered a pair of 2lb cr10 barbel rods. They turned up the next day. Well impressed with packaging and even old school rod tubes. That is attention to detail. The rods are stunning, love the eyes, long white tip and a well thought out folding ring for holding hook when setting up, moving etc. The quality is excellent. If i changed one thing it would be to shrink the writing but that just because I like a clean understated look. Love them
I’ve just purchased two CR10 barbel rods, they look amazing, beautiful craftsmanship.
Rods arrived within 3 days of purchase, excellent service, cannot wait for 16th June.
Just purchased two of these rods. Great rod, Great deal. look forward to catching lots with these
I bought a pair of these mainly for those times when the rivers around me get a bit lively. They had their first outing this weekend, and although the leaves and debris made it difficult to hold bottom even with my heaviest 4oz leads, that certainly wasn’t the rods’ fault.
I still managed a couple of chub close to 5lb, and the rods performed brilliantly. The tips were responsive enough to show the drop_back bites clearly, and there was plenty of power in reserve—though it wasn’t really needed, as both fish gave up fairly quickly.
I’m also looking forward to seeing how they perform as light carp and heavy tench rods come springtime.
Received my rods within three days of ordering. As commented they arrived well packaged in sturdy cardboard packaging and plastic tubes. Set them up with my reels and first impressions are that they are a nice looking rod with quality rings and reel fittings. Every confidence that they will perform as good as they look. I'll be christening them on The Trent over the holiday so looking forward to my trip.
Hello,
The packaging is perfect; the rods are in a plastic tube, all inside a sturdy cardboard box. It's really very professional. Upon their arrival, I was eager to test them on big fish. I used them in a lake near my home (I live in southwest France) and caught carp between 8 and 14 kg. I had no problems getting these carp into the landing net. These rods are sturdy, so no problem with a big barbel. The action of these rods is very progressive and smooth, but you can feel the power, which is very pleasant. They're also beautiful and built with high-quality components: Fuji guides, Fuji reel seats, and top-quality cork. The price-quality ratio is excellent.
I don't regret my purchase. (sorry if my english isn't good)
Ces cannes, prévues pour la pêche des barbeaux sont vraiment très bien montées, avec des composants de qualité, anneaux et porte moulinet FUJI, poignée liège de premier choix. Je les ai prises en 2 LBS, mais elles peuvent affronter des gros poissons, d'ailleurs je les ai testées sur des carpes entre 8 et 14 KGS sans aucun problème. Leur action est vraiment agréable. Ces cannes peuvent servir en fait pour toutes pêches au posé , par exemple le sandre pour ceux qui pêchent au vif, et elles existent dans des puissances et longueur différentes. Concernant leur expédition c'est du très sérieux, elles arrivent dans leur housse tissu et sont placées dans un tube plastique ,le tout dans un solide carton, aucun risque de casse. C'est du haut de gamme avec un rapport qualité/prix incroyable.
I treated myself to a pair of the beautiful cr10 barbel rods and when they arrived I was not disappointed.since then I’ve used them several times and Han nice fish and they were a joy to use
I bought 2 of these and I’m really impressed __ Beautiful colour , beautiful through action , powerful , just absolutely stunning .
Really Nice Rods! Great action and can really cast heavy feeders with ease. Very happy with my purchase.
I have three of these cadence CR10 12ft barbel rods and reels and I love these rods I love the action and the look well balance and can handle big fish.
I purchased two Barbel rods at the very end of the season so I have not used them yet.
I selected the 2lb test curve rod as the river I fish has not a huge population of Barbel ,however if you are fortunate enough to make contact it is usually a large fish.
I like the appearance of the rods with their cork handles and the colour of the blank I find pleasing. The rods are of good quality and are built to a good standard. I’m sure they will fulfill my needs and I am looking forward to using them in June.
I purchased two CR10 1.75tc Barbel rods matched with two CS10 5500lc reels back in October 2024 as part of an amazing offer by Cadence. Having used these rods during a guide day with Des Taylor I had first hand experience of how they perform and when I received them I was even more impressed. They looked absolutely gorgeous and certainly did not dissapoint. The reels also are impressive and are well balanced on the rod.
Having received this purchase as a Christmas present and due to the excessively high river conditions since then I have not had a chance to use them yet but they are rigged up and ready to go as soon as I have the chance.
Just received my well packaged 12FT CR10 Barbel rod,good communication &prompt service.
Can’t wait to try it on riverbanks,
Just got my 1.75lb test curve barbel specimen rod matched with the CS10 5500LC reel. The finish on both items is excellent and it feels like a nicely balanced combo. Well packaged with prompt delivery. Looking forward to trying it out soon on the Thames.
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!
