Rive R-Feeder Reel
Feeder fishing can be one of the most rewarding tactics to employ in the coarse fishing discipline. Utilising open, cage, or method feeders, you’re able to perfectly position your hook and hookbait in amongst a pile of freebie groundbait, particles, or pellet. This method of angling practically guarantees that your bait is perfectly presented with each cast, maximising your chances of a take and removing any element of chance which normally comes with the cast. As with all methods of angling, feeder fishing works best when you’re using purpose designed tools. As a match fishing brand, this is something that Rive understands deeply and it is well aware that purpose designed tools always produce the best results. This is why the brand has designed this R-Feeder Reel, Rive’s very own feeder fishing machine.
The reel is available in two sizes. The R3000 is ideal for tackling slightly smaller waters, or waters with less current, as well as for casting out smaller feeders. The R4000, on the other hand, is better suited to slightly longer casts, situations when you need a little more power, and for casting out larger or weightier feeders. This range of choice ensures that you’re able to choose the ideal reel for your style of feeder fishing, helping further refine and specialise your gear. Both reels are fitted with the same great features and fixtures, making them ideal for the angler who is dedicated to feeder fishing in both match and pleasure scenarios.
Both of the Rive R-Feeder Reels are fitted with an aluminium spool. This is a low weight and highly durable spool material, ensuring that is offers longevity of performance whilst maintain the reel’s low weight. The reel also comes with an additional spool as standard. This allows you to bring too different line options down to the bank right form the off, saving you a great amount of preparation time, especially if you’re heading to an unfamiliar water where you’re not 100% certain about the situation that you’re going to be faced with when you get there.
The reel operates with 10 ball bearings, as well as an additional bearing which helps to enforce the reel’s infinite anti-reverse. This anti-reverse practically eradicates the risk of rear-ward play on the handle, helping you when you’re trying to bring in a strong or fighting fish. The ball bearings ensure that this reel is unbelievably smooth and they significantly reduce the chance of premature wear and tear on the reel’s vital internal components. In fact, the entire Rive R-Feeder Reel is finished in an anti-corrosion treatment, ensuring that is an impressively hard wearing machine. The reel handle itself is coated in carbon. This is a reinforcement technique which ensures that the handle can withstand the kind of pressure that it will be put under when you’re feeder fishing.
The line clip on the reel has also been designed with the rigours of feeder fishing in mind. Made from metal, to ensure that it is every bit as robust as you demand it to be, the line clip is designed to prevent any kind of line damage. This is because Rive is well aware of the kind of damage repeated and regular casting can cause the line, as well as of the anglers need to be able to fish to the same spot with accuracy time after time. This durable metal line clip ensures that you’re able to cast with confidence and precision, time after time. Solid and durable, this is a front drag reel which has jointed spiral winding. You’ll also notice the unique embossed RIVE branding in the spool, which really makes this all-black reel stand out as something special.
