    Drennan Puddle Chucker Carp feeder as a chub rod?

    I bought a 12 acolyte commercial feeder after much research. It has a selection of fine tips designed for shy carp and has the backbone to deal with the inevitable kamikaze dive under the feet of big chub in snaggy waters plus being designed for reasonably light line it is also forgiving.
