Guru Aventus R 11’0″ 2pc Feeder 1-70g

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that when Guru releases a “flagship,” the angling world stops and takes notice. The Guru Aventus R (Reborn) 11’0″ is the powerhouse of the standard feeder range, offering that extra bit of “oomph” and reach compared to its 10ft sibling, without sacrificing an ounce of finesse.

This isn’t just a minor tweak; it’s a total redesign. By utilizing the new Zero90X Carbon Technology, Guru has created a blank that is slimmer, lighter, and—crucially—recovers faster than anything we’ve seen in this class. If you’re looking for the ultimate all-rounder for modern commercial match fishing, this is it.

Reborn Performance: The Technology

Zero90X Carbon Technology

The secret to the Aventus R’s accuracy is the X-weave fiber layer. By sandwiching these fibers between the 0 and 90-degree carbon sheets, Guru has virtually eliminated “blank twist.” When you cast, the rod stays perfectly true, directing all that energy into the feeder rather than side-to-side wobble. This means tighter groups and more fish in the net.

RJS – Rigid Joint System

Traditional joints often create “flat spots” that ruin the action when a big carp is under the rod tip. The Rigid Joint System (RJS) uses reinforced ferrules to ensure the rod bends in one seamless, progressive curve. It feels like a one-piece rod but gives you the convenience of a two-piece.

Faster Taper & Better Balance

The 11ft model has been redesigned from the butt up. It features a slimmer profile and a shorter handle, which shifts the balance point perfectly. This makes the rod feel incredibly light in the hand and much easier to handle when you’re steering a hard-fighting F1 away from the lily pads.

Where to Use This Rod

The 11’0″ Aventus R is the “do-it-all” commercial weapon. It excels in:

• Large Commercials: When you need to cast 40m-50m with pin-point accuracy.

• Method & Hybrid Feeders: The 70g casting weight handles fully loaded large feeders with ease.

• Targeting Big Carp: The progressive power in the butt section gives you the control needed for double-figure fish.

• Winter Bomb Fishing: The ultra-sensitive Zero90 LT tips show the tiniest indications from lethargic fish.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

The 11ft model is surprisingly powerful for its slim profile. Because of the Fuji KW Anti-Tangle guides, it performs brilliantly with braided mainlines. If you’re fishing at 40m+ for skimmers or F1s, try 0.08mm braid with a 10lb mono shock leader—the Zero90X blank absorbs the lunges so well you won’t have to worry about hook pulls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 11ft over the 10ft model?

The 11ft gives you better “leverage” for longer casts and helps you clear marginal shelf or weed beds when playing fish. With a 70g casting weight (vs 60g on the 10ft), it’s the better choice for large method feeders or windy days.

What are Zero90 LT Quivertips?

LT stands for Light Taper. These are specifically engineered to blend seamlessly into the Aventus R blank. They provide a much smoother transition from tip to rod, which improves both bite detection and casting distance.

Is the handle different from the original Aventus?

Yes. The handle is slightly shorter on the Aventus R. This improves the ergonomics for “under-the-arm” fish playing and makes the rod feel more balanced and nimble when casting frequently.
