Joe Carass checks out a new feeder range that is finding its way into many feeder anglers’ collections in recent months!
We are well and truly moving toward an era of feeder fishing, and just like with pole fishing, niche feeder manufacturers are cropping up all over the place.
Having fished Ferry Meadows regularly earlier in the year I was looking for various feeders to have in my locker.
Rob Wootton had some rather nifty looking models in his feeder collection and I just had to find out more (not that Rob wanted me to know what they were!). Luckily I had a feature planned with Simon Willsmore and it just so happened that he had started to distribute the feeders throughout the UK.

We look at two new additions to the AS Feeder range.
Mini Bullet Feeder – RRP: £1. 92
The water is still cold and being able to use a small feeder at distance is a massive edge. For a long time anglers have had to use small, adapted and cut-down rocket feeders, but no longer as AS feeders has developed a Mini Bullet Feeder.
Joe Carass gets his hands on the stunning new Cast’izm rod range from Daiwa.
The Cast’izm name has become synonymous with anglers who require tackle that is capable of just a little bit more. The Cast’izm reels, despite their price tag, have become a must-have for any angler looking to cast a long way. Walk around any feeder match and you are likely to see a load of them in use.
Joe Carass gets an exclusive look at the brilliant new Super Feeder mix from Sonubaits.
Sonubaits produces some of the finest groundbaits about. You only need to look at what anglers such as Des Shipp, Lee Kerry, Michael Buchwalder and Andy Power are using to see how good the bait is.
One thing Sonubaits is really good at is reacting to trends and producing what anglers need.
Joe Carass gets his hands on the World Champion Feeder Rods designed by Browning’s Jens Koschnick.
I was certainly intrigued when the Jens Koschnick rods were announced late last year. Jens is a formidable angler on the Feeder World Championship scene and does well right across Europe, including a World Pairs victory in Ireland. His credentials are certainly there so Browning decided to team up with him to produce a rod that he wanted.
Joe Carass gets his hands on the brand-new Arco-Tech rods from Middy.
As far as commercial feeder rods go, Middy takes some beating. Rods such as the 4GS and XK/XZ are firm favourites with thousands of anglers and are a common sight no matter what the venue.
Middy has always had a knack of producing great rods for a great price; the 4GS in particular has been an unbelievable rod range.
