Guru Aventus R 13’0″ 3pc Power Distance Feeder 1-150g

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that when you’re staring at a massive expanse of water or a powerful, swollen river, you need a rod that can step up to the plate. The Guru Aventus R 13’0″ 3pc Power Distance Feeder is the absolute beast of the “Reborn” lineup.

Boasting a colossal 150g casting weight, this rod is built for extreme range and heavy-duty applications. By utilizing a stiffer, faster-action blank than the original Aventus, Guru has created a 13-foot catapult that delivers unparalleled casting power while conveniently breaking down into three equal sections for easy transport.

Technical Specifications

Reborn Performance: The Technology

Zero90X Carbon Technology

When you are launching a 150g payload toward the horizon, the sheer force can cause standard blanks to twist, killing your distance and ruining your accuracy. The Zero90X Carbon Technology combats this with a strategic X-weave composite layer. This dramatically minimizes torquing and twisting under maximum compression. The result is a hyper-fast blank recovery that transfers every ounce of your energy in a linear, direct path.

RJS – Rigid Joint System

A 13-foot, three-piece rod requires flawless engineering at the joints to prevent power loss and stiff “flat spots.” The Rigid Joint System (RJS) integrates the Zero90X material directly into the Reinforced Ferrules (RF). This ensures a seamless, continuous power transfer down the entire length of the rod, providing a progressive blank curve that genuinely mimics the feel and fish-playing action of a one-piece rod.

Aventus DT Quivertips

Extreme distance fishing demands specialized bite indication. The Aventus DT (Distance Taper) quivers are crafted from premium Japanese carbon to blend perfectly with the rod’s stiffened upper sections. Outfitted with Fuji KW Anti-Tangle Guides and the all-important Fuji LG Tangle-Free tip guide, these tips are heavily fortified to mitigate line wraps and handle the relentless friction of heavy shock leaders and braided mainlines.

Where to Use This Rod

The 13’0″ Power Distance Feeder is designed for the most demanding scenarios in modern fishing:

• Extreme Range Commercials & Reservoirs: When you need to punch method feeders or heavy window feeders 80m+ into a headwind.

• Big Rivers: The 150g rating makes it an exceptional tool for pacing heavy block-end feeders on powerful rivers like the Trent or Severn for barbel and chub.

• Large Natural Venues: Perfect for vast European waters or massive lochs where distance is the only way to find the bream shoals.

   

• Specimen Hunting: The tremendous backbone gives you the ultimate control over massive carp or hard-fighting river species.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

When you are loading a 13ft rod with up to 150g of weight, a high-quality shock leader is absolutely non-negotiable for safety and performance. We recommend using a heavy 10lb to 12lb braided shock leader tied to a thin 0.08mm or 0.10mm braided mainline. The oversized Fuji KW guides and LG tip guide on the DT Quivers will allow your leader knot to fly through silently, maximizing your yardage without risking a crack-off. Pair this with a dedicated 5000 or 6000-sized big pit reel to truly unlock this rod’s potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this a 3-piece rod instead of a 2-piece like the 12ft model?

At 13 feet, a 2-piece rod becomes incredibly cumbersome to transport in standard holdalls and vehicles. The 3-piece configuration makes it highly practical for the traveling angler. Thanks to the RJS (Rigid Joint System), you lose absolutely zero performance or power through the extra joint.

Will a 150g rod bounce smaller fish off the hook?

Despite the immense casting power, Guru has engineered a highly progressive curve into the blank. While the butt and middle sections provide the casting backbone, the upper sections remain forgiving enough to cushion the lunges of bream and skimmers, protecting your hook-holds on lighter tackle.

Can I use the Zero90 LT tips from the shorter rods on this one?

No, this rod is specifically engineered to be used with the Aventus DT (Distance Taper) quivers. The standard LT tips are designed for the lighter blanks, whereas the DT tips are built to handle the high-compression forces of distance casting and heavy payloads
