Korum 11ft Compact Float/Korum 11ft Precision Feeder

[Steve Perry]

Hello,
I'm looking to fish some of the smaller rivers around where I live (West Mids)
for chubb,roach etc, so I'm thinking of getting a couple slightly shorter rods than I presently own.
I can buy the two above rods for £72.00 each , have you any opinions on these rods?
I have also seen the Preston Innovations 11ft Float & 11ft Feeder rods,these are each about £30 extra,do you think its worth spending extra on these instead?

Regards,

Steve

I have the 11ft float rod, reviewed here. Says it all.

Korum is sister brand to Preston, may be almost same rod.

or the compact flaot and compact feeder trods from TFG

I ahve a Maver Abtss 2 10ft float from £30 -line rating 3-6lb

and the Garbolino 9ft rocket picker line rating 3-5lb £ 22

I've been looking at 11' float rods too. Waggling rods in the shop and playing various members of staff on the rods i'd go for the carbonactive 2 piece 2-6g casting model for river work. lovely rod.
The korum is a nice rod but a stiffer action, more akin to the drennan series 7 11' puddle chucker.
But you may prefer the korum, so i can only suggest waggling them in a shop yourself!
I've not looked at the feeder rods, sorry.

I've been using the korum 3rd generation 11ft float rod for over a year now and im well impressed with the performance. Lovely rods, they are rated for lines between 4Ib and 8Ib they are sensitive to deal with modest sized specimens but have plenty of reserve and backbone for larger fish. Well recommended.

I've reawakened this sleeping thread because I'd like to know if anyone out there has got the Korum Precision 11ft feeder rod.

What I'd like to know is:-

• Are the sections in two equal lengths with the quiver tips fitted?
• How many tripple legged rings are there on the rod?
• What strength are the 2 tips included with the package?
