Acolyte Distance Feeder 4.26m bis 100+ m Wurfweite
The 14ft Acolyte Distance Feeder rod is designed for fishing at ultra long range and is
capable of casting big feeders while retaining its fish playing action.
This superbly powerful rod is capable of ultra long range casting with big feeders up
to 4.5oz (125g). With the right technique, distances approaching 100m can be achieved
with remarkable accuracy. This rod is the perfect tool for fishing big rivers where you are
casting big feeders into heavy flow and need to keep as much line out the water as
possible.
Many other distance feeder models end up imbalanced and over-gunned, and in some cases
look more like beach casters than feeder rods! As a result, they lose tactile contact and feel
when playing fish and result in more hook-pulls.
Working with five times World Champion Alan Scotthorne and top international match anglers
Steve Hemingray, Darren Davies and England Feeder Team Manager Dean Barlow, we have
extensively field tested and modified various Acolyte Distance Feeder prototypes in the UK
and Ireland over a period of more than two years.
The finished model successfully combines the normal feeder rod requirements of bite
detection, sensitivity, fish playing feel and balance with ultra long range casting. It also
represents fantastic value for money compared to other models, some of which are
more than twice the price! Martin Bowler points out this is more than just an ultra long
range feeder rod, it is excellent for big fish, big feeders and its 14ft length provides
improved line management in heavy flow.
Optimum mono reel lines are 6lb to 10lb (2.7kg to 4.5kg) or 0.08 to 0.12mm braid. The
oversized guides allow for shock leaders up to 12lb. The rod is supplied with 3oz, 4oz and
5oz carbon tips, which are also available separately with 2.5oz and 6oz test curves.
