Preston Ignition 10ft Carp Feeder

Product Information

However, for most anglers, we wouldn’t recommend either and advise the 10-foot model instead because it’s the best all-rounder, and for most commercial fisheries the power of a bigger rod is rarely required. Be it float or feeder, an F1 rod needs to be as soft and as forgiving as possible, to absorb the weighty lunges of a hard fighting fish that just doesn’t know when it is beaten. A medium feeder rod isn't determined by its length. Rather, it's a tool that will cast modest distances for average-sized fish, with feeders around the 40-60g range. It's the best rod when bream, skimmers or smallish match-sized carp are the target, as they generally have a much more forgiving action. This helps reduce fish bumping off on the retrieve whilst allowing for easier casting at shorter ranges where a more powerful rod can cause issues with accuracy. That much I’d already been told through reading the blurb, but to confirm these claims I treated myself to a day’s live testing of the 10ft short feeder rod on Decoy Lakes Fishery near Peterborough. There’s no doubt that this rod is an excellent feeder but it wouldn’t be our first recommendation to new anglers. Its a bit more pricey than some of the other rods and although it compensates through its incredible technology and features, its something that we feel a lot of anglers may not use.

A great action for Carp and F1 fishing, a forgiving blank that powers up into the butt section. Perfect for casting up to around 25m. Overall though, each version of the rod is very solid and you should have no problem casting with any of them in commercial fisheries and small lakes, etc. Quality Unlike a short feeder rod, it's generally anything from 10ft-12ft long and for casting around 30-50m. This type of rod really excels for casting up to islands that are a bit further away than usual or fishing on big, commercial or natural venues. They will help improve accuracy, fish hook to land ratio and your efficiency on the bank.

Aesthetically pleasing, bags of performance mixed with a progressive action means these are equally comfortable fished on natural waters too! However, since the rod is nearly entirely made from rare materials, it is incredibly expensive. Costing several hundred pounds makes the Tournament SLR difficult to recommend to most people. It is undoubtedly and phenomenal rod and arguably the best feeder rod in production. However, it costs a lot of money, and unless you’re a serious match fisherman who’s trying a gain a competitive edge or someone who simply wants the best rod available, its difficult to justify the price. Fighting/General Usage Through action: A rod that has a softer top section but still produces a cushioned bend throughout its entire length, giving a good fish-playing action. And of course, this means you need a feeder rod, but with all the options and versions of rods on the market, it can be difficult to find the right rod for you. We’ve compiled a list of tested and researched rods that we think will be perfect for the majority of match anglers. Fishing Rod Middy’s new innovative extension feature in this rod is a game-changer. It allows you to add an extra foot of rod on so you can turn your 10ft rod into an 11ft rod and hit further distances. We’ve owned Middy’s products for 7 or 8 years now and they’ve kept up their incredible standards in casting which is why their Arco-tech rod is one of our favorite rods.

Reel Seat: The part of the handle that your reel attaches to. Almost all UK coarse rods have screw-down reel seats, where the fore-grip on the handle rotates and closes the seat to hold the reel in place.

Most commercial fishery feeder rods are designed with a progressive fish playing that bends at the tip and 'powers up' along the blank as more pressure is exerted, and ideal for carp. All-round feeder rods tend to have softer 'through' or 'cushioned parabolic' fish playing actions ideal for all species of silver fish. A comprehensive range of rods that are perfect for any commercial fishing as well as natural waters. Seamless actions and high quality components make them unbeatable value for money. There is a rod in the range for any situation whether its underarming a method feeder in the margin or long range casting on a big reservoir. Each feeder rod is supplied with two carbon tips, 1oz & 2oz. The car’s temperature gauge was showing it was only 50C out there, and to me it was even duller than another weekend without match fishing, football without a proper crowd, or the basic bloke necessity of going down the pub!
