Korum Avon 12ft 1.75lb (2pc)

Experience traditional angling soul combined with cutting-edge blank technology in the Korum Avon 12ft 1.75lb. Seamlessly blending classic “old school” styling with a stunning, muted khaki finish, this two-piece powerhouse is engineered to over-deliver on every front. The traditional progressive Avon-style action delivers a beautiful, forgiving cushion under the rod tip, yet transitions seamlessly into a rigid, authoritative spine when compressed by large, hard-fighting specimens.

At 12ft with a 1.75lb test curve, this rod is the ultimate multi-purpose weapon for the modern specialist angler. Built from high-tensile carbon, the blank loads flawlessly from tip to butt, allowing you to launch heavy feeders or large floats with pinpoint accuracy. When a powerful fish surges under the rod tip, the progressive action cushions the violent lunges, absorbing the shock to completely eliminate hook pulls and light-line breakages.

Finished with high-spec components and a rugged construction, it is a premium, high-performance rod built to dominate demanding wild environments.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Pro Tip: The 1.75lb test curve is widely regarded as the ultimate “all-rounder” for classic river and specimen lake fishing. It offers the perfect balance between sensitivity and strength.

Thanks to the innovative ceramic-free guides, you can abuse this rod in dense undergrowth or rocky swims without ever worrying about damaging a delicate guide liner. When targeting big river barbel or chucking heavy method feeders into island margins, pair this rod with a high-strength braided main line. The ultra-forgiving Avon action effortlessly compensates for the zero-stretch nature of braid, giving you the ultimate combination of direct bite registration and safe fish-playing cushion.

Ideal Applications

• River Barbel & Chub Fishing: The ideal weapon for standard feeder, touch-ledgering, or rolling meat tactics on medium to large river systems.

• Specimen Tench & Bream: Perfect for fishing inline method feeders, heli-rigs, or traditional alarm setups on mature gravel pits and estate lakes.

• Surface Carp & Floater Fishing: Excellent for launching controller floats and managing hard-fighting double-figure carp on light lines due to its forgiving tip action.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the benefit of ceramic-free guides?

Traditional rod guides feature a ceramic inner ring that can easily crack, chip, or shatter if dropped on rocks or bashed against trees while walking through tight swims. Korum’s ceramic-free guides are pressed from a single piece of ultra-tough, polished lightweight steel. They are completely indestructible under normal fishing conditions, friction-free, and significantly reduce the overall tip weight of the blank.

Can this rod be used for float fishing as well as ledgering?

Yes, absolutely! That is the beauty of a traditional Avon action. While a 1.75lb test curve is stepped up for heavy work, the blank retains enough tip cushion to run large Avon floats, slider floats, or heavy chubber floats down river glides when targeting large species like chub, barbel, and carp.

What size reel matches best with this 12ft 1.75lb model?

To achieve the perfect physical balance, we highly recommend pairing this rod with a standard 4000 to 5000 sized baitrunner or a dedicated medium-sized specimen reel. This creates a well-balanced pivot point right at your hand, making casting and holding the rod comfortable for extended periods.
