Rive R-Elite Feeder Rod
Feeder fishing is one of the most rewarding methods of match angling, both in terms of the joy it gives you on the bank and the kind of species that you can land. This is something that Rive understands deeply, which is exactly why it has begun to manufacture a growing range of products designed with feeder fishing in mind. This R-Elite Feeder Rod collection is the perfect addition to that growing range – and it is an ideal rod to join your angling arsenal, too. What’s more, if you’re an angler who demands that the gear you use is of the utmost quality but you don’t want to break the bank in order to get that quality, then this rod collection will suit you to a tee. The Elite series is the intermediate series in the Rive range, offering the manufacture quality of a top end Rive rod, only this time without the price tag!
There are two different rod options in the Rive R-Elite Feeder Rod range. The first of these is the smallest in the range: an 11ft R-Elite Feeder 330. This rod weighs in a 218g, with a two section construction and a folded size of 1.71m to ensure that you’ll never have trouble sourcing luggage. This rod is the perfect tool for all your mid-range feeder fishing and it is perfect for the angler who likes to target the smaller species that fishing with a feeder can draw in. This is reflected in the rod’s casting weight and its action is at its optimal when you’re casting between 10g and 50g. This is a huge range, the likes of which you won’t find on less capable rods, and it is perfect for the angler who likes to use a variety of different feeders – from small open ended cage systems right through to method river feeders.
The other rod in the range is 12ft in length, making it the ultimate all-rounder in the Elite series. This rod is also known as the R-Elite Feeder 360 and despite its extra length it still weighs in at a mere 240g. This ensures that it is every bit as comfortable to use as the 11ft rod, allowing you to tackle a whole range of the UK’s mid-to-large sized match fishing venues. This is a three section rod, with a minute travel size of only 1.28m, making it ideal for the angler who likes to venture further afield for their match fishing. This rod has been stepped up a gear from the 11ft option, too, and it can cast out with terminal tackle between 20g and 80g. Once again, this is a huge range and it has been designed for the angler who likes to be versatile in their fishing. After all, you don’t want to feel restricted by your tackle – you want to feel as if your tackle is enhancing your angling ability. This is what the R-Elite series achieves and the rods in this range offer a performance quality which is unparalleled by other rods in this price bracket.
