Tri cast ultralight feeder rod

Hi, just pop into your local/fav. tackle store and ask for help.
you will be shown what is available and you can have hold of the tackle and choose what feels right for you at a price that suits.
just one more thing; avoid fridays and saturdays which are traditionally the shops busiest days then the seller will have more time for you.

whatever tackle you chose i hope that it bring joy and excitement.

If Exeter is the nearest good shop, it’s still massively worth it.

You’re best bet by far is to go and have a good chat and look around before you buy.

Seeing and being shown is much better than even the good advice you may get here.

Think about the sort of fishing you want to do and make the trip. Saves buying twice.

All the best with it :o)

A 13ft match rod might be too long for you, meadows. I,ve never enjoyed using rods of 13ft or more. A 12ft match rod feel right for me but its all personal choice unless there is a specific reason for using a longer rod..

What types of venues are you intending to fish? Commercials/ natural lakes/ponds/canals or rivers? Depending on the type of venues your going to fish and the expected fish your targeting. Will dictate the types of tackle best used. If you give us the names of a few venues you intend to fish. Im sure a few on here can give you a complete run down on the best tackle/bait/methods to give you the best chance of catching a few fish and help with the types of tackle needed.

4lb reel line would be fine on some venues but could be a little heavy on some other types of venues. Everything depends on the venue. 4lb reel line is a starting point to get you going. The use of lighter hook lengths will help in getting a few bites when things are difficult especially until the weather warms up. Its the same with hooks sizes and types of hooks. A size 14 hook is a very big hook for most types of course fishing and on some venues you will struggle to even get a bite with such big hooks. You will need a selection of hook sizes from 22s and upto size 14s to cover the different types of baits and target type/size of fish your aiming to catch. You will be surprised at the size of fish you can land with experience with very tiny hooks and fine lines. However, after your size 6s. A 14 might look very small to you, lol.

Tackle shops are always the best place to go to get the best advice on the right types of tackle until your very experienced in angling. However, having an idea of the venues your going to fish will help the tackle dealer in helping you with your choice of tackle. Other options are to go and watch and talk to some of the other anglers on the venues you intend to fish. Most anglers will be happy to give advice about the types of tackle they use and why. Finally, ask lots of questions on here. There are plenty of us who are always happy to give good advice when we can.

Hope that helps.

if you live to far away from a tackle shop try walking along the waters edge and asking for a waggle form anyone fishing. if you tell them why most will oblige.
other wise take a look at the 12ft. pellet waggler rods. most manufacturers make them with a softer tip than the shorter rods, giving a more versatile rod that will cover all your general needs.
good luck with your search and happy new year.

oh, and don’t forget a reel that balances the rod.
