I fish a lake where only running rigs are allowed - I fish for 6LB+ bream and tench 4-8LB. the problem i have had is the feeder was too light to set the hook. I have gone up to 45g feeders. This has worked but the worry is that my rod is at its limit - it is a browning 11 foot Force Commercial Carp Feeder - Suitable for feeders to around 40gr with 2oz glass quiver tips. This rod was new this year. I am thinking of moving up to a Masterline Rovex John Wilson Signature Barbel Quiver Rod 11' - 13' - it has three push in tips 2oz and 2.75oz 3.75oz.
As i only fish at around 40 yards i am thinking of using the rod at 11 foot. I welcome any comments and thoughts on the change of rod. Anyone got one / used one?
Cheers Teddy
