Free Spirit CTX F1 Feeder 9ft
The latest addition to the CTX range is the F1 Feeder – a purpose-built rod for tackling shy-biting fish in tough conditions. Designed with sensitivity and finesse in mind, it excels when targeting F1s in winter but doubles up beautifully as a bomb rod for general commercial work.
Incredibly light and responsive, this rod offers the kind of feedback needed to detect the faintest of movements. The carefully selected combination of quiver tips makes it versatile across seasons, adapting to the changing mood of the fish and venue conditions.
Ultra-Light Precision for Finesse Feeder Fishing
CTX F1 Feeder rods are crafted for maximum bite detection in the most challenging conditions. Their ultra-responsive blanks and sensitive tips make them perfect for winter fishing when F1s and silvers respond to delicate tactics. Despite their light feel, they retain the backbone to manage fast runs and quick hook-ups when fish feed confidently.
Constructed using top-grade Japanese 40t carbon, the blank maintains strength while shedding excess weight. Finished with a full cork rear handle, EVA foregrip, and a Fuji VSS reel seat, the CTX F1 Feeder offers comfort and control in equal measure.
Built to Adapt
Each rod includes three finely tuned quiver tips to cover a range of presentations and conditions – from the subtle glass tips ideal for winter, to a stronger carbon option for summer sessions or slightly heavier setups.
The carefully chosen guide configuration and short length make this rod ideal for short chucks on commercial lakes, close-in bomb work, and micro method setups.
