A good all round Thames feeder rod (but not for barbel)

Recommendations please. Mainly chub I target in winter on link ledgered cheese paste/lobworm but I want something that will also do just general maggot feeder fishing for any species. My 11ft Drennan Twintip Avon is a great rod but once winter comes I need something about 12 ft. I don't mind spending up to £200, maybe a little bit more, but nothing ridiculous.

Try find a Daiwa Powermesh 12ft 1.5.

It's perfect for all Thames needs from maggot feeder to mashed bread open end.
2 tips - Quiver and Avon.

I have 2 and used for many years on Thames.
 
Yeah the Powermesh were awesome rods. Have no idea why they discontinued them. I have the dropshot PM, a pike lure PM, and a very old barbel PM, one of the originals but I lost the quivertip and just have the 1.5lb Avon top. Frustrating!

Steve. That's perfect, Avon top fine

If you really need a quiver one.....I've got two that I'll never use together
