Fox Barbel 13ft Stepped Up Specialist River Trotting Rod

The Fox Barbel Stepped Up Float rod is a classic, specifically designed for the river specialist. At 13ft, it provides the length required for superior line control when trotting large floats at distance, while the "stepped up" blank offers the necessary power to stop hard-fighting barbel and chub in fast water.

 

Unlike a standard match or float rod, this model features a reinforced action that absorbs the initial surge of a large fish without bottoming out. It is a dependable, no-nonsense tool that remains a favourite for experienced river anglers.

Item Condition & Features:

• Model: Classic 3-piece construction.

• Condition: Excellent used condition, showing only the usual signs of wear. All guides and whippings are original and intact.

• Inclusions: Supplied in its original cloth rod bag for protection during transport.

• Length: 13ft

• Sections: 3-piece

• Application: Ideal for trotting big wagglers, chubs, or loafers on rivers like the Trent, Severn, or Wye.
