feeder rod advise

[dalesman]

Just damaged my 2 peice barbel rod again first time strong winds caused the tailgate on the car to shut while loading the car and some thing simular when I lent it to a friend .

So I am going back to 3 peice rods so I am looking for a med/heavy 12' 13' rod any ideas folk as I will be using it for chubbing and barbel.

3 section rod does not cause any probs as I not one to pull the rod out of its sleeve and bait up the hook and chuck it straight in, once I get to the swim.

And using a 3 section would be easier to transport and when tackling I can check the line and all knots, some thing I am guilty off not checking in the past

The now discontinued Greys Prodigy Barbel comes in both 2 or 3 pieces (1.5, 1.75 & 2lb t/c) and it is a twin tip(normal and quiver) with 3 quivers. Although discontinued with the introduction of the new series It is still possible to pick one up from tackle shops or the net. Another option could be to fit a new set of struts to your hatchback as the existing ones could be knackered.

Looking at where you're based Dalesman you're not likely to need a really heavy rod. I'd suggest looking at heavy feeder rods as you'll have more choice in 3 piece versions than you will in conventional avon/barbel rods. If you're fishing the Yorkshire rivers you might be best with an 11/13ft rod giving you a shorter rod for tight swims.

JW travel barbel 12’ 5pc 1.75 TC around £70 worth checking ebay
Greys prodigy barbel 12’ 3pc as above or the VX £150.00
Daiwa Twilight barbel 12’ 3pc 1.75 TC around £85.00
I think it might be worth looking at the Shimano and Maver ranges too as they used to or still do a lot of feeder rods that come in 3pc.
Otherwise take a look at Harrison and Insight.........you do not want to let your tailgate drop on one of these.

I've caught both barbel and chub on mine this year on rivers and some nice bags of large bream on lakes. And it's nice and cheap.

Daiwa Twilight 4 piece - just got the 2.25 lb rod from Billy Clarke's and it is spot on. I use it for Carp fishing mainly - the 1.75 lb version might be a better fit for you and is available as a 4 piece as well.
