If you need to chuck long to reach the fish, Shimano has four superb rods for the job – the Aero X5 Distance Feeder 12ft and 13ft models and the Distance Power Feeder 13ft and 14ft models

 

The 12ft and 13ft Distance Feeder models have the power to cast medium feeders (90 to 110g) considerable distances, whilst still retaining a smooth fish-playing action that enables small hooks and lighter hooklengths to be used with confidence, while the Distance Power Feeder models are designed for fishing even heavier feeders on powerful rivers, or at range on big open waters. With powerful butt sections, these rods enable you to overcome all long-range challenges on the largest stillwaters and rivers, effortlessly handling feeders up to 160g (5.5oz).

 

 

Built using High Modulus Carbon, HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology and Nanosheet construction, the Aero X5 range delivers lightweight strength and responsive performance. The inclusion of Diaflash in the butt section increases power, casting accuracy and fish-playing control. It also helps to prevent any blank twist during the cast, which means straighter casts and more accurate feeder fishing.

 

The high-end AERO X-TIP quivertips have advanced tapers to create a smooth blended action with the rod, where the transition between blank and tip creates the perfect action and bend during the cast and while playing fish, with a controlled sensitivity for ultimate bite detection. All models come supplied with three interchangeable X-Tip quivertips.

 

These rods are absolutely loaded with Shimano’s latest tech, they look superb and will help any angler improve their long-range feeder fishing game.
