Now we’re just starting to get towards spring time, here’s another look back at some of the recent freezing weather – with another big Chub.  This 5lb+ fish was taken from the River Ivel by Paul Elt on a freezing  cold day, using (as you can see) a Drennan Matchpro Medium Feeder 12ft Rod and a Series 7 Feeder reel.

The Matchpro Medium Feeder makes an outstanding chub quivertipping / feeder rod – at 12ft it is just the right length for most rivers, and importantly, breaks down into two equal length sections enabling the rod to be easily carried ‘made-up’.  It comes supplied with four push in Tips (1½ & 2oz Slow Taper Glass & 2½ & 3oz Carbon) to cover a wide range of fishing scenarios – and additional tips are readily available right down to a super sensitive ½ oz.

The rod has a comfortable, traditional cork handle with a secure screw down reel seat, and best of all a really nice fish playing action that makes it a pleasure to use for chub of all sizes.
