New feeder/leger rod advise?

sussex river man · Mar 10, 2014

Hello i am after a small leger/feeder rod to use with a Shimano ST 2500 FA baitrunner reel, mainly margin work or small casts with a method feeder? reason for the baitrunner is it will be a second rod while im using my float rod.

I would need it to be around 9ft, or longer if it has three sections because i have made a small rod holdall (5ft) that's perfect fit for the boot of my car.
mainly fishing for bream/tench and small carp using 6lb mainline,

oh and budget of around £50/£60.
cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion i have looked at the Maver rod and it looks good, i am also considering the Rovex Captive Picker Rod, has anyone used one of these?

I use a 10ft maver powerlite pellet waggler rod with my 2500 bait runners, 6 or 8lb mainline and either a 15g small method feeder, a 15g drennan cage feeder or a small lead and loose feed. I don't make any huge casts and I have had carp to 16.5lb on them. I think they may be above budget but I assume any 10ft pellet waggler rod will do the job. The rods are two piece and thus 5ft "folded".

You mention your car boot. If it is a matter of hiding it for security, have a look at the John Wilson travel avon quiver whilst there are still a few to be had new on ebay. Very versatile.

I've got one I bought specifically for taking camping when space is short but find myself using it a lot because as you say it is so versatile.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I have bought a john wilson mirage 9ft leger rod, nice and cheap at £22 delivered! budget rod so not expecting too much but hopefully it will do the job...

John Wilson do some decent carp rods although never tried myself.

Let us know how it is

Nice fish Pix. I also have one for holidays. Such a sweet little thing, it can handle lumps as well as silvers. I thoroughly enjoy it.
