Hey guys,

My missus is going to buy me a new feeder rod for my birthday, but she doesn't know anything about fishing so has asked me to send her some links.

I don't need anything too expensive, I'm a pretty casual angler who will have a few hours on a commercial and a few hours on small rivers and canals.

What would people recommend? Lets put a price tag of £80?

I've seen Korum feeders here: https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/korum-feeder-rods

But I dont know what casting weight etc I'd need?

I'd also be looking for 10/11ft - i struggle with bigger rods :eek:mg:

When I started off I bought a 10' Korum feeder and an 11' maver abyss x(£10). Both great rods and I still use the Korum in very tight swims! There are some very good rods at bargain prices! Some of my more recent purchases have been somewhat more expensive!:rolleyes:

If your fishing were I think you go you won’t need anything over 10ft or 11ft so any of these

Shimano Forcemaster AX Commercial Feeder 10ft … cast up to 70g price £35-£40

The Korum you mentioned

The tackle box are doing deals on the Darent valley rods or combo set ups

Fishing Tackle, Carp Fishing, Fishing Rods, Carp Fishing Tackle & Carp Rods

I have a Darent valley rod and there good rods for the money

That looks like mine in 10'. Another vote for the Darent Valley .75 tc specimen ! This is a great rod for the money and is sensitive as a tip rod. I broke my original tip but modified it and use it as a swing tip. The replacement provided free of charge is used as a feeder and occasional float rod!

Interested in the Darent Valley, but I can't see any feeder rods, unless they are called something other than a feeder? :)

The Darent Valley is called the .75 tc specimen ! It's a light Avon style rod with a sensitive tip. I painted the last couple of inches of mine white and use it regularly! It's a feeder rod and at around £40 it's a bargain!
