River feeder rod

[Martin Osmond]

Morning,

Looking at getting a pair of rods to fish for perch and roach on the tip on rivers. Mainly the Wey, Hampshire Avon and Thames.

I'd really like an old pair of Fox Duo Lite specialist but have been trying to get a pair for months with no joy.

So, my question really is would I be better off with a 1lb/1.25lb twin tip but only use the quiver section or a pair of dedicated feeder rods, like the Acolyte plus.

Cheers
Martin

What's your budget?

What's your budget?

Haven't really got one mate.

Am actually considering the Mark Tunley multi tip now

I'd just go with the Accolade. Get a 12ft and 11ft, for the same money as the Tunley

I would go for a pair ot either 11ft or 12ft Acolyte plus feeder rods.

Have a look for a drennan DRX river feeder or a matchpro feeder….or if you can find one a drennan combo feeder that can be used at 11/6 12/6 - superb versatile rods that will cover all your needs. The extra length might be useful on the Thames? The acolytes also come in 13/14ft
There is a 13’10 DRX river feeder on eBay collection in Ashford for £70 (bargain)?

The drennan medium feeder combo rod, 11.6 and 12.6, will cover most situations when river is not flooded.

I personally don’t like the idea of twin tips on light rods as I found one tip is always useless.

Only the Acolyte Distance Feeder comes in those lengths and it's not a rod for roach and perch... Martin Bowler reckons it makes a good barbel rod.
