Free Spirit take the development of any new rods very seriously and always try to offer something extra special to customers. To say they are excited about the new range of Hi-‘S’ Power Feeders would be an understatement.

As with all their products they seek to develop these to be the best they can offer and then they are good for many years’ service. To ensure this was the case with the Power Feeders they had some of the very best feeder anglers involved in the development and testing of this range.

These rods had to be capable of casting but also have a subtle build-up of power to load gradually so method feeders, in particular, did not explode on the cast. With the Hi-‘S’ low resin carbons it was easy to make a rod light yet responsive and powerful but they had to work hard to ensure there were no flat spots or harsh areas that would spoil the required action. One of the keys to this was using long hollow quiver tips made from the same material as the rest of the blank which ensured the transition of power through the quiver tip to top section was smooth and even. Quiver tip guide sizes are larger at size 5 or size 6 depending on the rating of the tip and this allows shock leader knots to pass through with less resistance and also helps prevent clogging of the quiver tip with surface debris. The big advantage of this is that long distances can be achieved with much smaller feeders – especially important in winter when fish push out from the bank but you don’t want to put much bait on the feeder and risk overfeeding.

For those needing shorter transport lengths Free Spirit produce 3 piece in lengths of 13’. Guides are Kigan Anti-Frap with large size 30 butt guide and larger intermediates – all helping with the use of heavier lines and particularly shock leaders in common use for this style of fishing. The reel seat on the standard build is a Fuji TVSM17 which gives a very positive feel through the blank and also fits the larger reels in common use on big reservoirs. All models are offered in more traditional full cork handles or the abbreviated build, with the option of custom built handles too.

Designed for extreme ranges on reservoirs and lochs and big European rivers where additional power is needed - casting weight to 160g.
