Thanks paul Interesting video..I won't be buying one just yet..keep the videos coming always enjoy them

Are you still using the MAP hybrid elastic ?

Been using a padded support for years. Got it because I have a very boney elbow and after a hour was getting pain. Not only does it stop the pain in my elbow it also stops my elbow from damaging the pole and it aids it trapping the pole beneath your forearm when constantly feeding with the catapult when fishing long and shallow. Only costs £5 on eBay

Just sold my Drennan Acolyte 9ft plus feeder rod. Like you, I never quite got along with it. It is definitely not a method feeder rod. Too many times the tip would go round but the fish wasn't hooked. Would you say the 9ft Nytro rods are beefier than the Acolyte?

Thanks Paul for another good review. Does the rain cover pull over any further than you showed? Its just that when im holding a long pole and feeding my swim, plus priming my pellet waggler or feeder swim, i place the easy access bait close to my leg so i can reach it blindly without stretch. That near third area where you'd position the easy access bait appears unprotected on the demo.

I recently bought the Preston Duraslip size 13 elastic, what would be the maximum diameter of line (reflo power) that this elastic can take?

Hi Paul. Thanks for the review. Has there been anything you've since that you'd be tempted with instead? Can the 4 corner leg clamps be rotated so the knobs all point inwards, taking less space? Many trays don't have any outrigger legs/arms etc, and you've explained the 3 iterations that you've been through to ensure you achieve additional support. Does it really additional support or are you being over cautious?

Excellent review Paul, thanks 👍

Cheers Paul…..looks like a good jacket for £60. Don’t suppose you know which other brands compete with it?

Extra bit of material that covers, or behind the zip, is called a storm flap.

Thanks paul..nice review

Another great review Paul. 👍

Exactly what I need, thanks for the review!

Nice review Paul

Your reviews are really detailed. Love how you give the weights of the rods. Tackle manufacturers tend to hide these details. Top marks.

Top review Paul. Thanks for your time & effort.

I am looking at trying the Nytro Aryzon 10ft feeder. So far none of my local tackle shops stock them. I did get an Aryzon 10ft pellet waggler rod and that is really good for the money. The blanks, rings and handles are better quality than I expected. Reel seats are basic but work fine. The pellet waggler is surprisingly quite powerful for it's weight, and I am hoping the feeder rods are the same.

Maver are the worst fishing company going. Everything is made from cheap and nasty materials. Everything I've bought from maver has either fell apart or crumpled especially the reality margin poles. I was given a reality feeder rod as a gift recently..the eyes are not whipped on properly.. sonik rods are amazing

Good review and thanks

Paul. Great honest reviews as always 👌. I personally use the Drennan series 7 puddle chucker 11ft waggler rod a softer version of the Drennan Acolyte rod you reviewed.

Nice insight of the three excellent rods Paul . I have had the Maver Acolyte and the Matrix. I sold the Acolyte because of the two comments you made a bit stiff and the handle was too long l thought same as you that the Maver was too heavy for long pw sessions and the Matrix l had problems with. I bought it mail order and it came with 1and a1/2'' missing from the tip . This was replaced but the replacement broke in the same place first cast. A 3rd rod arrived but l never used it as l had lost confidence in it. I bought the Preston Supera X and love it l also bought the MAP black Edition Pro SUV for the big lumps this rod is also fantastic. I love pellet waggler fishing and l use both rods with my hand made Casper bulb floats. I invented this float some 40 years ago with the first offering slow sinkers for silver fish. I had a rod made by Terry Smith of Sheffield and was named the' bubble master' rod. I continued to use this method until the commercial venue sprung up then l started to make them as floats . There are a few copies on the market made from foam but they are not in the same league as mine for casting and mine are virtually unbreakable. My mates have them and only come back for more when they lose them. Testament indeed. On our local carp dam our secretary goes out in a boat to retrieve lost Caspers periodically. l use Aero xr5000 reels on my pellet waggler rods as they are very light and balance my rods well.

What a well thought out and informative video Paul. Keep up the good work.

Freespirit ctx 11ft pellet waggler £130 ,job done …..superb Japanese blank ,super light weight in the hand with a fantastic action plus loads of hidden power in the butt section …looks & finish is exceptional, designed by rod makers from the carp world ,known for their handmade expertise, in precision construction of hi-tech carbon rods …Awesome

Another great review.thank you Paul

Always useful and informative - I'm now going to use a loop tier better now ! ❤❤❤

Love you paul❤

Another great review Paul. Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for this Paul. Helped me out in making a decision to get one 👍

Hi Paul have you swapped your MAP seatbox to the Quatro

Thinking of getting on of these but concerned about leg slip. I am about 6ft but around 18 stone, my Maver box 30mm legs but they slip making me uncomfortable using it any advice on weight capacity of these boxes? Thanks in advance

Hello paul i bought one of these after watching your video..what a disappointment it is...everytime there's a downpour it feels up with water no matter how its layed..loads of room but leaks terribly

Nice in drill, looks good, light, perfect blank. But... after a few fishing games where I used textile thread as the main line, the rings or "blunt, red" on the inside. Poor quality rings

JUst what I am looking for ..............bought one :)..........good honest review :)

thank you Paul

Yea, dont tell everyone 😊

are there 2 or 3 movable bits for the pole to rest on please paul ?

Got the 11ft 4 in this and love it

Paul, thanks. On your "rec" bought, the matrix line in 8lb. Used it for bream fishing on an old snagg estate lake were carp occasionally break up the party fighting hard and an eel that straightened out my size 10 drennen hook "for a pull " once it had rapid its self around A tree branch in the margins.Found the line exceeds expectations. Tough supple and great knot strength. This line should cost a lot more than it does.

I definitely need this on my seat box.i remember you a few years ago Paul fishing on Scarborough mere.you used to compete in competitions with my dad Paul Malton

Don't bother. Like everything else that's maver..it will fall apart again break.. avoid their margin poles at all costs

Well I never….i have that original roller and never knew about the grommet that holds the legs out. 😂😂. Good roller though. I have the MAP dual roller for my front roller but might look at getting this newer maver one. Top review Paul. Thanks for doing it.

So why did you buy another pole roller when you didnt need height ?

Thanks Paul, another informative video. Keep up the good work. 👍

Another top review Paul.

I have a preston ignition carp feeder do & had some good fish on it . Do you think this rod would be a upgrade?

Use Daiwa shirt to review Shimano product. Same as Drink Coca Cola but review pepsi 😂

Thanks, paul, for the balanced review without music sung by someone who just inhaled helium. Seriously, these types of reviews are invaluable to anglers who dont mind spending money but hate wasting it. Hard to come by, easy to give away.

Cheers Paul 👍 Was gonna get one when they came out more for the stopwatch (feeder fishing) than the clicker but @£35 i got a cheap stopwatch for a fiver off amazon instead 😆

Thx for that Paul 👍👍

Thanks Paul, great review. I've been using a cheap 8ft feeder rod for all my snake lake stuff, but that Nytro sounds better for my open water short stuff. Lovely venue in the fishing footage. Where was that?
