Designed in the UK and built from ultra-slim, high-modulus Toray carbon featuring a glare-reducing natural sanded matt finish, this dual-top rod adapts seamlessly to changing bankside tactics. Whether you are quivertipping for delicate feeding bream and tench on gravel pits or targeting hard-fighting river barbel and chub with traditional ledger setups, the twin-tip design delivers unmatched flexibility. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we know that anglers who like to mix up their tactics need a rod that can do it all without compromise, and the S2 1.75lb Twin Tip is engineered to excel across a massive variety of venues.

Key Features & Design Benefits

• Dual-Tip Versatility: Supplied with two interchangeable top sections—a sensitive 3.5oz full carbon quiver tip for ultimate bite detection and a traditional hollow tip section for standard ledgering and fish-playing power.

• Ultra-Slim Toray Carbon Blank: Crafted from high-modulus Toray carbon, delivering an incredibly light, responsive blank with rapid recovery and hidden backbone strength.

• Natural Sanded Anti-Glare Finish: Completely eliminates flash and light reflection off the blank, ensuring you remain completely stealthy on clear waters and shallow margins.

• Versatile 1.75lb Test Curve: The sweet-spot rating for all-round specimen angling, offering enough softness in the tip to protect light hooklinks while packing robust stopping power down through the butt.

• Compact 11ft Length: Provides optimal maneuverability for roving anglers, tight tree-lined swims, and overgrown bankside paths where 12ft rods feel restrictive.

• Premium Sea Guides & DPS Reel Seat: Outfitted with frictionless Sea Guides throughout, a rock-solid secure screw-down DPS reel seat, an olive-green full Duplon handle, and a handy hook keeper ring.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• Larger Stillwaters & Gravel Pits: Perfect for deploying the quiver tip section when targeting wary tench, bream, or carp at distance using feeder tactics.

• Roving River Sessions: Use the hollow tip section for wandering down rivers like the Lune or Ribble, ledgering for hard-fighting barbel and chub in tight swims.

• Intimate Commercial Margins: Ideal for stalking mixed bags of specimen fish where a short 11ft length gives you absolute control around marginal features.

• Clear-Water Venues: The anti-glare natural sanded finish prevents spooking fish when fishing close in under bright sunlight.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When switching between the quiver tip and the hollow tip section, match your tactics accordingly. Use the 3.5oz carbon quiver tip for stillwater feeder work where micro-bites and drop-backs need instant registration, and switch to the hollow tip when stepping up to heavier leads and moving river currents where a traditional through-action is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tips are included with the 1.75lb Twin Tip model?

The rod is supplied with two distinct top sections: a sensitive 3.5oz full carbon quiver tip for precision bite detection, and a standard hollow tip section for general ledgering and specimen fish playing.

Is an 11ft rod long enough for general ledgering on big lakes?

Yes. The 11ft length strikes an incredible balance between casting accuracy and close-quarters manageability, allowing you to punch feeder rigs out to comfortable distances while remaining easy to handle when netting fish.

What size reel balances best with this rod?

A 4000 to 5000-sized fixed-spool or baitrunner reel (such as the Angling Pursuits Camo 40 or NGT XPR+ 6000) loaded with 10lb to 12lb monofilament creates an exceptionally well-balanced, versatile setup.

Does the rod come with a protective storage bag?

Yes. The Wychwood Specialist S2 11ft Twin Tip 1.75lb rod comes supplied in a quality, custom-look Wychwood padded rod bag to keep both tip sections and the butt safe during transit.
