Preston Monster X 9ft Carp Feeder Rod

After that success of Preston’s Supera and original Monster range, the brand has taken what they learnt from those ranges and incorporated it into its latest range, the Preston Innovations Monster X range. The Monster X range is comprised of six rods; three carp feeders, a method feeder rod, a rod specifically designed with pellet waggler fishing in mind and a new development, the Wandzee, a seven foot rod optimised for canal or snake style lakes, where short casts to the far bank can be cumbersome with a longer rod.

The first of the three feeder rods is a 9ft/2.7m variant, like all the rods in the Monster X range, it comes in two sections plus a carbon quiver tip, of which there are three provided, 0.75oz, 1oz and 1.5oz. With such a thin blank the weight of the 9ft Monster X Feeder is just 166g, an incredibly light rod but packed with features nonetheless; the top half of the 53cm handle is constructed from high-grade cork with the bottom section being taken from the Supera rod range it is ergonomically designed to optimise comfort and grip and finished in top quality EVA, at the base of the handle is a laser etched Preston Innovations logo on the butt of the rod. At the base of the blank is a DPS reel seat which will comfortably house your reel and minimise lateral movement, the blank is lined with efficiently spaced SEA guides and the rod is complete with a hook keeper at the top of the handle. The casting weight is recommended at 30g and line rating suggests a line with a breaking strain of between 4 and 8 pounds.
