In this article you will read about the basics of choosing a feeder rod and find examples of interesting models from our online store. Read on and leave a comment!
Choice of rod and style of fishing
Classic Feeder and Method Feeder include several different styles of fishing. Thus, rods are selected depending on the type of fishery and characteristics of the fish, as well as individual preferences.
-
Ashort, very delicate and sensitive rod is a picker. It is suitable for catching smaller specimens at close distances. Such poles offer about 30 g c.w. and a fast, peak action. Since it is easy to make a mistake during casting, hooking or hauling, we do not recommend them completely to beginner anglers.
-
Medium c.w. rods are the so-called light Feeder. They are ideal if you want to fish at a distance of 30-50 m with small baskets. They can have progressive, progressive-parabolic or parabolic action. The different models also differ in sensitivity.
-
Long rods with high c.w. are the so-called heavy Feeder. Here the basket can weigh 50-90 g, and sometimes even more. The rod has a large reserve of power and allows you to cast accurately over long distances, although this requires familiarity with the equipment and a confident hand when hauling.
-
Method Feeder rods are rods with a parabolic deflection and a relatively large c.w. In a sense, they can be considered universal, as they are suitable for catching both small and large specimens. They are usually produced in lengths of 3.3 or 3.5 m and have c.w. from 60 to 90 g.
What to pay attention to when choosing the first feeder rod?
When reviewing the rods available in our store, pay attention to several important parameters:
-
Length. To begin with, a rod with a length of 3.3 m is enough. With such a rod you can calmly cast at a distance of 50-60 m, spread it on the bank and comfortably tow the fish.
-
Weight. Several hours of work with a long rod can tire your arm. So give up very heavy models, as you won't need them at first. Of great importance is not only the weight given in grams, but also the balance of the rod. A well-balanced rod makes a long haul of fish much easier.
-
Action. Usually in the product description you will read that the rod is tip, progressive or parabolic, and these terms are further divided into full, half and so on. However, at the beginning it does not matter so much. We recommend starting with progressive or parabolic models, which have a lot of power and respond even to smaller specimens.
Of course, manufacturers provide many other technological details, such as the type or size of guides. However, at the beginning of the Feeder adventure, it is better to focus on the three criteria described above.
Do not forget that the rod should be, above all, comfortable. Therefore, it is worthwhile to look at different models, and if possible - to take it in your hand, bend it and assess whether it fits well in your hand. After such research you will know which model meets your expectations. If you order it online from our e-store, you will get high-quality equipment at an attractive price.
