These rods had to be capable of casting but also have a subtle build-up of power to load gradually so method feeders, in particular, did not explode on the cast. With the Hi-‘S’ low resin carbons it was easy to make a rod light yet responsive and powerful but we had to work hard to ensure there were no flat spots or harsh areas that would spoil the required action. One of the keys to this was using long hollow quiver tips made from the same material as the rest of the blank which ensured the transition of power through the quiver tip to top section was smooth and even. Quiver tip guide sizes are larger at size 5 or size 6 depending on the rating of the tip and this allows shock leader knots to pass through with less resistance and also helps prevent clogging of the quiver tip with surface debris. The big advantage of this is that long distances can be achieved with much smaller feeders – especially important in winter when fish push out from the bank but you don’t want to put much bait on the feeder and risk overfeeding.
