Hi, i dont really know much about fishing, but my little bro wants a rod for his birthday. Can someone tell me if this rod is worth getting.

And for £5 more can add a shimano hyperloop reel

a feeder rod is for ledgering ie fishing on the deck with various weighted objects ie bombs,feeders and method feeders .i take it if its a pro perfomance rod its from WMAC angling i would suggest getting the abu conolon 11,13 foot feeder rod from them instead its a top class rod for 40 quid

Pro Performance rods are all old shimano blanks. WMAC Angling buy all the old stuff in bulk from Shimano.

Yes, WMAC website.

Is a feeder rod what i am best getting him?

He fishes a couple of different ponds, has carp in and then all the other little fish, perch, roach and the rest.

you might be better getting him a float rod wmac should have the abu conolon float rod for about the same price if you give them a ring and explain what he"s fishing for ie size of fish im sure they will help you to choose the right rod
