Barbel.

[The bad one]

Okuma Epix 55s Baitrunner type, grey in colour for barbel fishing (sadly discontinued now) . Bomb proof, had a pair for 7 years now never missed a beat dragging 4-5 oz feeder back on the Ribble when it's carry a metre and half of water on.

When not float fishing I normally use a Shimano 6010 aero baitrunner on the tidal Trent that I've had for over 30 years now.
When float fishing I have no qualms using nothing more than a simple Mitchell 300 on either the tidel river or the river Idle where I've had 14lb + Barbel on the Trent.
