That’s a really good idea, thanks.for made up rods i have found these straps to be brilliant, have a slot for the eyes on the rod and i use 2 straps per rod and love these. Just in case its of interest to you Amazon product
Good find, thanks! They look a contender. There’s a little voice in my head bugging me about the low price/quality and also getting replacement tips etc... Are they actually using the same blanks as Diawa? I kind of doubt it based on price.The 170g version would be a bit of a broom handle, the 40-120g would be better i think.

Can get them from that site, ship to UK but no idea on postage cost.
Looks a lovely rod. Do you think it can handle 3oz weights and 20lb carp ok? It’s rated with a max cast weight of 30g. Thanks for your inputMy normal supera not the sl is quite stiff.

85g chapNot sure on 3oz mate whats that in grams.
Landing big carp does not bother me from my big carp days on lighter rods my stalker rods were small and lightish and had 30s on them in france
Thanks for the input ??Think a bit heavy mate.
Did'nt realise was that heavy
Spot on, I always think gear up for the fish and conditions that you will catch and face not those you might catch and face as is better to be under gunned once in a while than over gunned most of the time.How many of the fish are gonna be 20lb, how often 3 ozs Will be usef
Very few rods can go from silverz to 20lb carp abs be enjoyable for the whole range !
It's easy to gear up for the outliers
I fish a runs carp water, most fish doubles but possible 30lber
You make a lot of sense bud. The rod will predominantly be used for what I call fun fishing... So at a carp/commercial water I’ll have my carp rod set up to target a specimen fish. With my second rod I’ll either float fish or feeder fish to keep me active and engaged. I’m not a fan of the 3 rod bite alarm set up but each to their own.3oz feeders loaded are going to be closer to 6
On a 1.75 barbel rod that's a lob not a cast
Rods that cast 3oz plus feeders generally Are not so good for four smaller fish

Acolyte plus I have, I wouldn't use a 3oz feeder and a 20lb carpwould need to be on an open swim ! Not least because I use 5lb hyper sensor!

I use a 20 year old amorphous whisker power float rod, 5lb line, .15 hooklink and a 16 hook ! Best fish on this setup 16lb
How many lost to lime breaking none ! Hook pulls 3 !
A multitude of scenarios really. Could be bomb/method/maggot. Something to keep me entertained. I either want to be looking at a blob of orange floating around in the water or a blob of orange on the tip of a rodDoes it have to be a tip rod? What are you fishing for, what rig / feeder / ledger set up are you using? Would something like a Sonik Insurgent or Xtractor retractable butt carp rod work?
Thanks for the review, good to hear it can cope with 20lb fish. I like the amount of tip options you get with it as well. My friend has recently bought the Vertex Method and he’s really happy with it. Only thing is I don’t really want to copy him lol but if it’s the clear winner I would get it as well. ??Drennan vwetex mwthod feeder ans I will telI you why:
I recently decided to do some method feeder fishing whilst waiting for my bite alarms to go off on my carp set up so did some research ans bought the vertex. Ive caught everything from silvers to 15lb on 6lb line. Its a perfect rod and with patience could easily handle +20lb carp.
Also contacted Rive and they have confirmed their 10ft Carp Feeder rod can handle 80g weights and 20lb carp.
So I would say it’s between the Cadence, Rive and Vertex. Thanks for all the help so far, it is helping focus the choices.
Can anyone explain to me how a rod can have a 2oz tip but be rated to cast out an 80g weight?
Also, for a powerful river, would a 3oz tip be
10ft rod on a river or want to cast a distance?.They are designed for margin fishing and smaller venues.
A 19ft rod is designed more for margin fishing, stalking and smaller venues. If you want to cast a distance and on fast flowing water you should really go for a longer length rod.Also contacted Rive and they have confirmed their 10ft Carp Feeder rod can handle 80g weights and 20lb carp.
