The X5 Feeder 13ft Rod

Feeder fishing is an increasingly popular technique that has proven to have been incredibly effective for catching stubborn fish.  By using a feeder, you can apply bait to your swim every time you cast. To help with this, you need a decent feeder rod. Feeder rods differ from conventional rods as they offer a quiver tip push in section, offering variable weights that you can pick according to how far you are casting or the size of the fish that you are fishing for.

If you regularly head out to rivers and for long-range stillwater fishing, in the pursuit of carp, or other species, then the Advanta X5 Feeder Rods are designed with you and your fishing in mind. With the ability to easily cast feeders or leads of up to 4oz, these rods will ensure your bait gets as far out into the water as possible, giving you the best chance of convincing wary carp, who are well-used to the traps of the bait dangled nearer the bank. Feeder fishing means that the tasty snack they’ve come across is nothing to be concerned about, and the bite detection of the supplied quivers on the 13ft rod gives you the responsiveness you need to hit a bite as soon as it happens.

Rod Blank - The blank of the feeder rod itself is exceptionally responsive, giving you a good feel throughout your session. Made from 24T carbon, the X5 rod blank gives it all the strength you need, whilst ensuring it remains lightweight, and effortless to handle against any angling demands.  The rod also comes in a 3-Piece format for compact storage.

Performance – The rod blank construction supports the fast action of big river fishing. Similar to the X5 Float rod, the X5 Feeder also offers high power to diameter ratio, for superior bankside performance.

Appearance - This Advanta X5 feeder rod packs some striking looks. This feeder rod is finished in a stylish 3K Carbon to avoid light bouncing off the rod blank and potentially spooking fish.

Quiver Tips - Quiver tips on feeder rods offer a brightly coloured tip section to help you keep an eye on any movement for bite detection. The 13-foot length of the X5 feeder is supplied with 2oz fibreglass, 3 and 4oz carbon quiver tips.

Reel Seat – Like the X5 Float, the feeder rod the range sports a secure lock-down reel seat so you can use your fixed spool reel with confidence, especially when bigger venues and bigger fish. Recommended reel lines for this feeder rod are 4lb-10lb.

SS guides - Lightweight and strong, the Feeder rod is also fitted with stainless steel guides, again protecting your chosen line from abrasion, and allowing for you to try out the best tackle combination for your feeder fishing.

Rod Handle - Made from a quality cork and EVA mix, the rod handle offers the best of both worlds. Lightweight, durable and amazing grip.

Hook keeper ring – Great for avoiding frustrating snags on overhanging foliage when feeder fishing or moving to a different swim on the river.
