quiver/feeder/avon

[pingu]

ok guys and girls i'm getting confused
when on hols most peeps were fishing for bream and carp with feeders and soft top rods
sol i tried this using my float rod (as someone else was)and although is soft not sure is right
well i brought a quiver rod when I started back on the darkside in april but cant get on with it (as not screw seat and somehow just feels wrong ) so shop have said will take back as part x(only loosing £2 so chuffed)
question is what is/are the diferences in these types of rod, do they all do the same? and whats best to get, I want a good allrounder that wont break the bank
cheers

I m a bit confused as well

You said you got a quiver rod and could not get on with it . What promblems did you find mate

Quiver rods are great for fishing the lead and the best type are ones that come with say three different tips ( each one will have a different wieght ) so you can use them on rivers ponds ect

I have not bought one for a long time so could not say what is hot

You get several versions of the rod

Think sea fishing rods and you have different ones for heavy work ect . THis is the same with feeder rods as they are rated to i.e if your lumping out have swimfeeders 60 yrds then you will then need a powerful feeder rod . But if just fishing 1/2 oz then light system is the one to go for

God Ive confused myself now but hope it helps abit

Believe they're all the same type of rod mate. The John Wilson Avon rod is supposed to be superb, but I think it's 160 odd quid.

Like Richard says, get 1 with 3 tips as have more choice that way

ok i think the rod i got is just too sensitive and thats before a tips put on plus stuggle with reel slide clips
think made thread confusing myself
was more really difference between a feeder and an avon both seemed pretty much the same
will prob get 3 tipped feeder
