Description
The Korum 1.5K Trilogy Old School Triple Tip 11′ 6″ is a multi-tip specimen rod built for anglers who value versatility, classic styling, and refined blank performance. Featuring a 1.5k carbon weave paired with a mahogany finish and a full cork handle, this rod brings traditional looks together with lightweight carbon power.
Designed to cover everything from roving river chub tactics to stillwater tench and bream setups, the Triple Tip concept provides three distinct rod configurations in a single package. It includes dedicated 1.1lb and 1.25lb test curve top sections for float or light ledger work, alongside a quivertip carrier section supplied with 1oz glass, 2oz glass, and 3oz carbon tips. This system allows you to adjust your tip sensitivity precisely to changing water conditions and bite speeds.

Pro Tip
Use the 1.1lb and 1.25lb sections for touch-ledgering or roving setups with large baits like bread punch, cheese paste, or lobworms for chub and barbel. When conditions call for finer presentation—such as winter bream or roach fishing on stillwaters—switch to the quivertip section and fit the 1oz or 2oz glass tip to detect light drop-back bites without spooking wary fish.
Ideal Applications & Use Cases
-
Small to Medium River Roving: Outstanding for chub, barbel, and big roach on rivers where adapting to water clarity and current speed requires quick setup changes.
-
Stillwater Tench & Bream: Perfect for fishing light Method feeders, cage feeders, or straight lead tactics on natural estate lakes and gravel pits.
-
Finesse Specimen Tactics: The progressive playing action protects light hooklinks and small hooks, reducing hook-pulls under the rod tip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the glass tips differ from the carbon tip included in the set?
The 1oz and 2oz glass tips offer a softer, more progressive bend with less resistance, making them ideal for delicate bite detection in calm or slow-moving water. The 3oz carbon tip is stiffer, offering faster recovery for heavier flows or longer casting requirements.
Is this rod suitable for commercial carp fishing?
While designed primarily for specialist species like chub, tench, bream, and crucian carp, its progressive action easily handles small-to-medium commercial carp and F1s on light-to-medium setups.
What reel size pairs best with this rod?
A 4000 or 5000 size front drag reel balances the 11′ 6″ length and cork handle profile, providing optimal casting performance without adding excessive weight.
