The first of these is the R-Feeder Design 360 Light. Like the 330 Light, this rod also boasts a fast tapered design, as well as a two section construction. Unlike the smaller rod, this give the rod a break-down size of 1.88m and it has been designed for short to mid range casting with a variety of feeder types. This rod has an optimal casting weight range of between 35g and 60g – so it is capable of handling slightly larger feeders than the 330 Light.
The final rod in the range is the R-Feeder Design 360 Medium. This is the most powerful rod in the range, with a top end casting weight ability of 80g.
