Shimano Purist BX-1 Barbel 12'0 2,75lb

The Purist BX1 range of barbel fishing rods combines outstanding value for money with classic, understated aesthetics and premier actions. Available in four perfectly balanced models, the Purist BX1 is an excellent choice for anglers on a budget. If you're an angler looking for a specialist barbel fishing rod and your budget is relatively tight, you'll be hard pressed to find anything comparable to the Purist BX1. The range covers everything from small, intimate river fishing with small sinkers and feeders to larger rivers using big sinkers, PVA bags, and oversized feeders. Superb fish-playing actions are complemented by classy graphics, offering a rod that performs as well as it looks.

At the heart of the Purist BX1 barbel is an all-carbon blank developed to combine the power needed to cope with hard-fighting fish and to throw big sinkers and feeders, with a finely tuned tip to improve touch detection and compensate for powerful lunges, especially at close range. The lightest 1.75 lb model is perfect for small rivers, the mid-range 2.25 lb model is very versatile, and the two Intensity models are suitable for larger rivers in extreme conditions. All models feature a classic cork handle, a custom DPS reel seat, and Shimano Hardlite rings to enhance their remarkable value. For a classy finishing touch, the tip has a short white section for improved visibility, and the handle is finished with an alloy tip.
