A 1.75lb TC barbel rod will handle a 15lb barbel in fast water because the fight of the fish is managed through the drag, the rod angle, and the angler’s technique – not by brute force from a stiff rod

The rod comes with a tackle box which has everything that you need to get started and give your child their best chance of making a catch
