I wonder if I could once more call on the recommendations of my piscatorial pals on this forum for a feeder rod?
I was so pleased with the Shakespeare Agility Waggler rod someone recommended on here for me recently. I would say it's 100% helped my fishing - especially casting accuracy and as a result I'm catching more and bigger. I can land my float right in under the overhanging tree on the far bank, time after time in exactly the same spot. I am absolutely delighted with it.
Anyway, as the months get colder and the river will be moving a lot faster with the autumn rains, I'm looking at getting a new feeder rod. My old one was bought second hand off ebay many years ago and one of the tips broke ages ago, so it only has one remaining. Can't remember what brand of rod it is, but it's not all that. A clunking old carthorse in comparison with the trim 6-furlong sprinter of the new Shakespeare.
I'll be fishing the same upper Thames, a medium width river about 6 to 8 feet deep most of the year. I reckon I'm looking at a 12' rod (?) and hopefully with 3 tips that come with it - although I'm not sure my amateur skills really make that level of sophistication necessary and will gladly take advice.
So if anyone is aware of a nice feeder rod they're selling, which seems like an absolute steal, then please let me know and I will be eternally grateful. I think almost all my entire kit, from the Korum seat chair and rucksack, to the aforementioned rods has come from Fishing Magic recommendations and I've yet to be disappointed.....
