Shimano Alivio CX Feeder Rod,
Shimano created the Alivio range of tackle especially for novice and junior anglers. The motivation behind this was to open up the world of angling to those who might never have considered the sport, as well as to create affordable tackle for those anglers who might not have the budget to buy expensive spares. This Alivio CX feeder rod is constructed to the exact same quality as all other Shimano products, despite the miniscule price tag, and it boasts features that wouldn’t look out of place on a rod twice its price.
This is a medium actioned rod, 3.66m in length, which has been designed to suit most feeder fishing situations. The XT30 carbon fibre composite blank has been mixed with Geofibre – a natural reinforcement technique which enables Shimano to create a resilient black with a medium action. The Alivio CX Feeder can happily chuck most sized feeders a fair way out into the water, ensuring that you are able to target all the
carp and coarse species that you desire unencumbered by your tackle.
The Alivio is fitted with a specialised Shimano reel seat which ensures that your
reel is fixed securely to your rod. This ensures that you can tackle larger fish with complete confidence in your gear. The guides on the Alivio are constructed from Shimano’s stainless steel Hardlite material. This ensures that you can fish with braided lines just as effectively as monofilament lines – giving you the full range of line choice.
The handle of the Alivio CX Feeder is a combination of EVA and cork. This ensures that you have all the grip that you require, even with wet and cold hands against an aggressive fish, whilst still ensuring that the blank remains as lightweight as possible. The Alivio CX Feeder Rod is the perfect entry level tool for the aspiring angler.
