The top-of-the-range 2lb and 2.25lb Acolyte barbel rods are designed for big rivers and big fish. The power play action has been pushed forward, higher towards the tip, so the rods sit up well in a strong flow. This design feature also helps with the semi-self-hooking setups associated with big leads and feeders. Across the 12ft range, the 1.5lb, 1.75lb and 2lb models cast feeders weighing 4oz+, while the 2.25lb model casts feeders weighing 6oz+. Optimum reel lines for the 2lb and 2.25lb models are 10lb to 15lb.
