Daiwa Tournament SLR Feeder Rod (12ft, 120g, 2pc)

The Daiwa Tournament SLR Feeder rod range is widely celebrated as a flagship choice for serious coarse and match anglers in the UK, and the 12ft, 120g, 2pc model is the powerhouse of the range, perfectly engineered for distance casting and handling big fish and big feeders. This rod is the definitive tool for tackling large commercial carp waters, big rivers, and natural lakes where extreme range is essential for reaching bar-lines, islands, or deeper water. The two-piece design allows for quick setup and breakdown while maintaining a continuous, smooth curve under extreme pressure, ideal for transporting in rod sleeves fully made up.

Product Details and Uses

The 12ft, 120g model is purpose-built to deliver optimum casting energy and remarkable accuracy, allowing you to punch out heavy feeders, such as large Method, Hybrid, or conventional open-end feeders, well beyond the reach of standard rods. The significant 120g maximum casting weight means you can confidently fish with larger payloads of groundbait or pellets, essential for attracting and holding bigger fish or casting in challenging winds. In the UK, this rod excels in situations requiring long-range feeder work for large carp, bream, and tench on venues like Boddington Reservoir, Evesham, or the main stretches of larger rivers. The superior blank technology ensures that while the rod has the power for immense casts, the action remains incredibly forgiving in the mid-section, which is vital for preventing hook-pulls and landing large, hard-fighting fish reliably, even on lighter hooklengths. The rod comes supplied with three highly visible quiver tips (1.5oz, 2oz, 2.5oz), giving you options for superb bite registration when targeting anything from skimmers at range to big carp, making it a highly versatile and high-performance feeder rod.
