The new Daiwa Spectron Ultra 11ft Feeder is something special, especially for the price bracket it situates itself in, whilst its by no means a budget rod, the performance and materials used makes you feel it should command a far more premium price than it does. Still owning and using the original Spectron rods, it may well be time for an uprgrade as these rods are superb, when casting the whole rod performs flawlessly helping propel a feeder with the minimal of effort and when we reviewed the casting footage from the day, you couldn't see where the joint in the rod was, truly remarkable.

The fish playing action as you would expect is stunning, there are no flat spots and the 'notably progressive' action Daiwa have labelled the rod with is accurate, but rather than the usual scenario of the rod powering up along the top section of the rod, the Spectron Feeder Rod allows the pressure to flow through the V-Joint and further down the blank, this not only allows more pressure to be put on the fish, it will reduce hook pulls and give you a sense that the rod can just keep on giving should you need it too, sublime.

The rod is an out and out commercial fishery tool and no matter the fishery you take it to or what size fish you subject it to, the rod will handle them whilst asking "is that all you've got?" The handle of the rod is fairly unique, with full length EVA being the choice as opposed to any cork, whilst this may not be for everyone, I personally thought it was a lovely edition to the rods, it helps with the balance and if I do say so, made them look fantastic too.

A true all-round rod capable of tackling a natural water for bream or carp on the Method. Fitted with premium guides and a hook keeper ring, The Map Dual 11ft Feeder comes with 0.5oz, 1oz and 1.5oz carbon tips and two neoprene wraps for storage.

The Preston Super X Feeder rod is the result of endless testing from consultants like Des Shipp and Lee Kerry, they wanted to create the best feeder rod they could and it appears they have achieved it, as these rods are stunning. The rods are ridiculously lightweight and well balanced, yet have bags of power thanks to the X-wrap carbon weave. They provide a superb fish playing action and are a rod capable of punching a feeder a long way out.

These rods are some of the most popular commercial fishery rods at the minute, the Guru N-Gauge 11ft Feeder being a particular stand out with it being a great all-rounder. The rod has a very nice through action helping it to absorb lunges of big fish resulting in less losses, particularly useful if you're a beginner and aren't used to playing large fish.

The Daiwa N'zon Distance Special Feeder Rods, a direct replacement for the popular discontinued N'zon Z feeder range. The second generation offers a reduced number of specialist rods with 5 models available, compared to the previous 11. Manufactured from premium X45 HVF Nanoplus blanks, and outfitted with Seaguide stainless steel anti tangle guides. They all feature a power progressive distance casting action, perfect for launching feeders to maximum range. With a dedicated 11ft method feeder, a 12ft standard feeder and three Power versions. There's something here to cover all your feeder fishing needs.
