FAQs
What is the recommended casting weight for the MAP Extremis Feeder Rod - 12ft?
The recommended casting weight for this rod is between 25g and 55g.
How many quiver tips are included with the rod?
The rod is supplied with three (3x) quiver tips to allow for different bite indication sensitivities.
Can I use this rod for sea fishing?
While designed for freshwater feeder fishing, the durable construction and corrosion-resistant guides may allow for occasional use in calm sea conditions. However, thorough rinsing with fresh water after each use is essential.
What type of fish is this rod best suited for?
This 12ft model is well-suited for targeting medium to large freshwater species like bream, skimmers, carp, and barbel when using feeder tactics.
Is the handle comfortable for long fishing sessions?
Yes, the rod features a unique handle design with super-grippy PU material, offering comfort and control during extended use.
What are the 'oversized guides' for?
The oversized guides are designed to facilitate smoother line flow during casting, reduce friction, and accommodate thicker lines or leaders more easily.
Troubleshooting
Rod sections are difficult to assemble or disassemble
Ensure the ferrules are clean and dry. Apply a small amount of dedicated rod ferrule wax or silicone spray if needed. Twist sections gently as you push them together or pull them apart.
Line gets snagged in guides
Check that the line is running freely through all guides and that the reel is correctly aligned. Ensure no knots or debris are caught in the guides.
Quiver tip breaks or becomes loose
Ensure the quiver tip is fully seated and tightened. If a tip breaks, replace it with one of the spares provided, ensuring it fits snugly.
Reduced casting distance
Check for tangles, knots, or damage to the line. Ensure the reel spool is not overfilled. Verify that the feeder weight is within the rod's recommended casting range.
