Drennan feeder tips

Advantages: Lovely action, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Only provided with two tips

...This was one of my first fishing rods. I use it all the time for feeder and leger fishing. It has a beautiful, smooth tip action with a very comfortable handle. The reel sits very nicely in the grip, giving you a sturdy sitting and good position. The rod itself is fairly light and very easy to use. It is very forgiven and can be used in many different situations. The two responsive tips are very nice (1oz+2oz), with orange tips making them very clear and easy to see. They are very sensitive making bit identification very easy. The only thing I would say against it would be that the rings used tend to clog up easily, making this rod il-suited to light fishing, whether it be freelining or float fishing.... Read review

Advantages: Well priced, robust, casts well
Disadvantages: None

...One for the angler. Every angler needs a good quality, reliable and durable bait feeder and here is one that comes up to spec in all three areas. I am talking about the Dinsmores Zeppelin Feeder. These are open ended feeders with the metal body and side weight cast as a single unit and combined with a stiff plastic link for easy attachment to your line. Being made from cast metal you get no sharp edges like you do on some feeders and again being made of metal and cast as a single unit they are very strong and can withstand being dragged along the bottom of a lake or river. The openings in the side of the body are oval in shape and spread the bait evenly without clogging. The medium Zeppelin weighs 30 grams and the larger one double that at 60 grams. You'll need a good rod with a sufficient test curve to launch these babies... Read review

...for a few tips on how to write a good op >> RiNg RiNg RiNg…….no answer…..BUG*ER!!! On well, I guess I'll just have to write whatever I can think of myself. I'm trying to catch small fish like Roach and Skimmers right?! And it involves using small breadPUNCHes. The breadpunch is as special thingy that is pushed in to a slice of bread on a HARD SURFACE to remove a tiny piece of the slice. What you end up with is a tiny circular piece of a certain size that depends on the size of the punch you use. Get it?? I use some Drennan ones with wooden handles and metal heads. They come in sets and you'll normally pay about 8 or 9 squiddies. You can get cheap plastic ones that still do a good job for less than a pound though. As long as the bread is FRESH (very important) you should have no problems hooking it... Read review
