Mikado Ultraviolet Heavy Feeder (3.90 m, 120 gr.)

Rating: 4.8

Mikado Ultraviolet Heavy Feede

In a sporty way, the “evil” feeder rod from the Ultraviolet company enjoys incredible esteem among domestic fishing enthusiasts for bottom gear, for which it is awarded a place in the top ranking. Its main advantage lies in the combination of spectacular appearance, good load parameters and the desire to enter into a tough confrontation with a large predator. The upper limit of the test for baits does not exceed the value of 120 grams, but this is the very case when reasonable moderation (mentioned more than once in this top) does not leave too high technical parameters. From the point of view of anglers, the main advantages of the Ultraviolet Heavy Feeder are the excellent build quality, the abundance of quivertips for various gear weights, a comfortable handle with a cork from walnut, and a low price (even by the standards of the budget segment).

Virtues

  • the upper limit of the dough is 120 grams;

  • high efficiency when fishing in still water and in the current;

  • nice appearance;

  • four quivertips (whips) included;

  • high build quality;

  • comfortable design, topped with a cork handle made of walnut wood;

disadvantages

  • not found.

Banax Piccolo PIC36H (3.60 m, 110 g.)

Rating: 4.7

Banax Piccolo PIC36H

In the original series of feeder fishing rods, Piccolo, by Banax, there was a huge amount of modifications with different lengths and an individual set of technical characteristics. But, it so happened that the first, the most unambiguous version, beloved by users for its moderation in terms of a huge range of operational parameters, deserved to hit the rating. The 360-centimeter model does not have interchangeable versings in a set, but at the same time it adequately perceives any feeder bait weighing up to 110 grams. It has a medium-speed system, which is canonical for the segment, which makes it possible to make biting, distant casts without much difficulty and effort.

The main feature of the Piccolo PIC36H feeder rod is to create ideal conditions for unlimited control over the movement of the bait. Beginners do not particularly focus on this property, giving their vote “for” the quality of performance and usability. But experts on catching on the feeder immediately appreciated the wonder - such a successful combination of the smallest factors is very rare in the open spaces of the budget segment.

Virtues

  • very comfortable cortical handle and high-quality body kit;

  • the ability to make long shots;

  • adequate weight perception of baits in the claimed range;

  • the possibility of fine control bait in all phases of fishing;

  • good build;

disadvantages

  • not found.

Salmo Diamond Feeder (3.60 m, 120 g.)

Rating: 4.7

Salmo Diamond Feeder

Unlike the direct opponent in the face of the Maestro Feeder NS, the “Diamond Feeder” Salmo is designed to maintain an optimal balance between performance and an emphasis on the ergonomic component. It is lighter (280 grams), more flexible and pliable than its counterpart, but it has a comparable margin of safety and works equally well both when casting and when fishing from the bottom. The upper limit of the test is limited to 120 grams, but the most ardent and experienced anglers manage to inflate the weight of the bait without apparent damage to the life of the rod.

The Diamond Feeder construction feeder rod is not much different from canonical samples - the same screw reel holder, the same long handle (albeit with a combined cork and neoprene pad), the same interchangeable tips with different stiffness. Nevertheless, consumers find in it something special, their own, and this has a positive effect on the level of sales of rods in Russia.

Virtues

  • excellent ergonomic parameters (light weight, comfortable handle with a combined pad, reliable body kit);

  • unlimited bait control during posting and fishing;

  • good casting distance;

  • test up to 120 grams;

disadvantages

  • not found.

STINGER MAESTRO FEEDER NS (3.90 m, 60-180 gr.)

Rating: 4.6

STINGER MAESTRO FEEDER NS

The Maestro Feeder NS feeder rod from Stinger is the strongest model among the rated opponents. As the manufacturer claims, the secret of his success lies in the material of the form, which is the purest carbon without the use of binders. The Toray T-30 gives the “wand” excess stamina, the property of quickly unloading the blank while fishing, and also makes it possible to make long-distance casts with minimal power consumption (medium-fast build).

The Maestro Feeder NS 3.90 test amounts to a whopping 60-180 grams for rods of this level, with no sensitivity being lost over the entire range of incoming values. The ergonomic indicators of the feeder rod also delight users: the classic grip provides confident grip, and a weight that does not exceed 300 grams does not lead to rapid casting fatigue. In general, feeder spinning is a great investment that is guaranteed to pay off during the first fishing season.

Virtues

  • good ergonomics (from the weight characteristics to the classic version of the handle);

  • the ability to make long-distance casts due to medium-fast building rod;

  • a blank carbon fiber blank with improved mechanical properties;

  • wide range of test (60-180 grams);

disadvantages

  • not found.

Thus, the thinnest and most flexible can work in the range of 60-90 grams, while the largest and strongest - up to 120 grams.

Another distinctive feature of KAIDA NEOXOEN FEEDER is the use of cork and neoprene as the material of the handle. This is an abstract fact, but for fishermen it plays a significant role. However, the main advantage for them is the price parameter, the benefit here with this component everything is in order.

  • the lowest price in the ranking;

  • lightweight construction;

  • comfortable handle;

  • satisfactory reliability indicators of the form;

Rating: 4.9

SHIMANO SUPER ULTEGRA AX FDR 14 ’

Super Ultega AX FDR 14 ’is another bright example of a canon that relies on advanced technologies and developments introduced into production by Shimano. The 426-centimeter feeder rod was created with strict adherence to the principle of moderation, which prescribed a restriction of functionality in order to preserve long-term working conditions. This led to a huge margin of safety of the form at nominal loading conditions and the ability to express well even beyond the prescribed parameters.

Possessing a dough of 150 grams, the Super Ultega AX FDR 14 ’was able to fight off trophy fish, which often reached a mass of 15-25 kilograms.

  • good appearance;

  • the possibility of a significant excess of the nominal workloads;

  • bait test with an upper limit of up to 150 grams;

  • manufacturability and rationality of the design;

Rating: 4.8

It is a mixture of the traditional characteristics of the feeder and a significant margin of safety, which is pledged to avoid unwanted kinks and deformations of the blank. 420-centimeter rod has a medium-fast formation and shows excellent results in terms of long-distance casting. Another thing is that the angler will take too much energy to throw the bait - the weight of the rod without equipment is almost half a kilo.

Actually, the weight characteristic is the weakest point of the MAXIMUS RED DEVIL 420XH, since in other areas of assessment it is impossible to find fault with it.

  • ergonomic indicators (EVA-handle, reliable fittings, informative form);

  • high efficiency of catching in reservoirs with a current and stagnant water;

SHIMANO BEASTMASTER DX FEEDER CARP XH (3.6 m., 150 gr.)

Rating: 4.8

SHIMANO BEASTMASTER DX FEEDER CARP XH

Powerful feeder rod of the middle price segment, offering anglers a subtle compromise between power and endless sensation. Despite more than modest overall performance (360 centimeters of length and 247 grams of weight), the BEASTMASTER DX FEEDER CARP XH is able to withstand the intense attacks of trophy fish without losing any responsiveness and clarity of action. Indirectly, the endurance test speaks of the feeder rod for baits, reaching 150 grams at the upper limit. The rod blank is made of high modulus HPC60 graphite and is reinforced with Biofibre material, which adds a “stick” of elasticity and overestimates the threshold for plastic deformation (fracture).

  • good blank sensitivity;

  • lightweight construction;

Daiwa Aqualite Light Feeder (3.90 m; up to 90 g)

Rating: 4.7

Daiwa Aqualite Light Feeder

Feeder rod of a special series, which combines reliability, original approach to production and remarkable practicality.In a somewhat atypical manner for the feeder, the developers of Daiwa focused on reducing the diameter of the blank, using lightweight, high-modulus graphite of increased strength to create it. In this regard, the 390-centimeter rod turned out to be very light (the weight in the unfastened state is 0.2 kilograms) and at the same time very hardy (the upper limit of the test for baits reached 90 grams). In aggregate, such conditions allow catching both in the current and in standing water, which adds to the model of universality.

Black Hole Hypnos Feeder 360H

Rating: 4.6

Black Hole Hypnos Feeder 360H

Sensitive and light (weight only 245 grams), it creates ideal conditions for carrying large fish from the depths, mainly carps and (in very rare cases) roach. When fishing, the whole form is put into operation, and not just the upper part, which adds flexibility and significantly reduces the likelihood of a descent. Such inclusion in the fight with big fish became possible due to the use of high-modulus graphite (HMC) as a material, which is highly susceptible to significant bending loads.
