I'm thinking of buying a rod for stalking and freelining bread, cheese, Spam etc, for chub, on the Warwickshire Avon and the smaller Birmingham Anglers rivers.
The rod I'm thinking of is one of the Drennan Red range feeder rods (I don't want to spend much), 9ft or 10ft for mobility. The rods have soft glass tips ranging from 1oz, 1.5oz, 2oz, 3oz and 4oz. They all suggest main lines of 3-7lbs or 4-8lbs and I'll probably use 6lb line straight through.
What should I be looking at in that range? Something in the middle - 1.5-2oz, or should I go as light as possible?
Thanks.
