Fishing tackle

[walshie 2,804]

Just trawling through ebay as I fancy a quiver tip rod for my renewed interest in fishing once this lockdown is over.  Can anyone recommend a decent middle of the road make? I don't want rubbish, but I don't want or need top end stuff either.

I saw some swingtips for sale too. Are they still a thing?

I use Shimano nexave, catanna feeder rods, for small carp, tench, these are decent

Where you fishing Dave? Target species?

Nowhere planned at the minute. I've got a couple of carp rods and a kind of all round rod that will handle a float if required, so I was looking at a general purpose ledger/quiver rod. Anything from roach to chub I suppose.

You want something 1lb 1.5lb tc with a few 1 oz to 3 oz tips, cover all the bases

Yeah. I was thinking 11-12 foot. I like the look of the multi tipped ones. What are Korum rods like? They keep coming up in my searches.

I've used their barbel rods last 3 seasons.... No complaints

They do a load of different feeder rods, this here be sound for chucking a lead or method feeder, use the Avon top for float fishing

He lives near one of the best game fish rivers in the UK that also has good Bass swimming quite far up it , so he should be looking at telescopic spinning rods really ..

I might already have a telescopic spinning rod.

I use a leeda feeder rod for mulleting and general float fishing and its a lovely rod
