First off i am new to the site, so hello!
For background, i have fished for a number of years. However, the last few years due to work etc, I have not really done a great deal of fishing. I have recently moved to Shrewsbury and the sight of the River Severn on my doorstep has got me wanting to get out again. Now while i have done quite a bit of still water fishing, i have never ventured on the river before, I have also never really had a go at feeder fishing, but would like to give it a shot.
I am looking for any recommendations for rods that would be able to withstand the River Severn in normal conditions, but also could be used on still water. My main species i would like to try and catch is Chub/Bream/Roach on the river and Tench/Roach in still-water . My understanding is in normal conditions, a 2-3oz feeder would be sufficient.
My budget is around £50-£80, I have been looking at the 12ft Shakespeare Agility Continental Feeder Rod that seems to have good reviews and could also be used on still water if needed. However, I have seen mixed debates about how quiver tips are pretty much useless on the river, is this the case? The other rod i have seen is the Diaiwa Black Widow Twin Tip 12ft Rod in the 1.75lb version, but i think this may not be great for still-water or smaller fish.
Apologies if i have said anything stupid, as i explained at the start, it has been a number of years since i have done any fishing and never tried river fishing or using a feeder before. Any thoughts or recommendations would be much appreciated.
