Casting weight and length of feeder rods

Casting weights of feeder rods

Depending on the body of water and the target fish, different feeder rods must be chosen for feeder fishing. Basically, the stronger the current, the further the distance to the fishing spot, the heavier the lead must be chosen and the larger the expected fish species, the higher the required weight must be chosen and the stronger and more powerful the rod must be. This is reflected in the casting weight. So the choice for the best feeder rods depends on the specific purpose and can not be answered in a blanket way.

Length of feeder rods

The length is also a decisive criterion. With stronger currents and increasing distances, the rods become longer and longer. When fishing in the current, as much line as possible must be out of the current pressure, which works particularly well with a long rod. Long distances can also be reached better with longer rods. Also, those who fish a section of river with reeds and lots of herbaceous vegetation will be pleased with a long feeder rod.

However, feeder rods are usually no longer than 4.5 meters. Of course, the total length also affects the transport length, which is a crucial point for transports of all kinds — whether in the car, in the suburban train or on a bicycle.

When fishing on wooded shores, on the other hand, a shorter feeder rod is often useful in order to be able to cast more easily and not get stuck in the trees all the time. Also beginners do, especially when casting, but also when landing the fish with a slightly shorter model much easier. The length of a feeder rod depends primarily on the water to be fished and the shore vegetation, but less on the target fish species.
