Hello jay

 

i think your best bet is too buy a float and feeder rod. The float tip piece isn't as sensitive as a quiver

tip but will do the job

then theres the feeder tip piece this is good for barbel and bream

i think that that is probably the best thing to do

Hi Jay,

Like Mike said, I would suggest one of the Avon/quiver type rods eg. the 'John Wilson Avon Quiver'

 

It is a very popular rod which comes with two top sections.

1. A normal top for float fishing or touch legering

2. A Quivertip top for ledgering.

 

It can handle hooklengths from as low as 1.5 lbs up to lines of around 7lb so it can be used for catching Roach, Chub, Perch, Bream and modest Barbel and Carp and is around the nearest to an all round rod you can get.

 

The newer ones come with a screw reel fitting, unfortunately I have two older versions of the rod so mine suffer from the classic 'reel falling off the rod' syndrome.

 

There are other recent forum posts which ask the same question; so have a browse through them to see what others have recomended

Shakespeare also do a good rod with three tips carbon fibre with fibre glass tips the rod has up to 8lbs reel line and is 10ft long and costs £24.00 which I though was a good price

Bold Bear,

If you know anyone with one of those racing bikes with extraordinarily skinny tyres you could scrounge an old inner tube from them (they always have lots! ! !).

 

A 25mm section cut from the old tube should slide over your rods' butt and retain the reel seat almost as well as a modern screw fitting

 

I have been using this on old sliding ring fittings for a very long time now,and I've not had a reel drop in the water for all that time. (If I drop one tomorrow I'll let you know )

Cyranne12,

ok Ill have a look to see what I can find in the shed, I think I might have one of those inner tubes somewhere,

thanks for the tip.
