Bottom rods, a tool that fishermen call a "feeder", are one of the English bottom rods fishing rods species. Today in specialized in fishing shops a variety of bottom fishing rods can be found. In addition to material and price, they differ in length, power and number of interchangeable tips. Designers have created bottom rods for different bodies of water and fish species depending on weight test and length.

Light bottom rods (Light class)

Lightweight bottom rods, also known as pickers, are designed for fishing with light weights and are popular for their sensitivity and ability to respond quickly to baits. These rods are usually between 2.4 and 3.3 meters long and have a test weight of up to 50 grams. These are light and thin bottom rods that allow anglers to feel even the slightest touch of fish.

Pickers are ideal for inshore fishing, especially where small fish are caught: roaches, whips, will cry etc. They are well adapted to use small feeders or simple weights, so they are often used for small ponds, rivers with weak current or lakes. Due to their lightness and sensitivity, pickers allow anglers to react accurately and quickly to baits, which is especially important when fishing for wary fish.

Bottom rods of medium power (Medium class)

Medium class feeder rods, also called feeders, are the most versatile and widely used bottom rods. They give the angler the opportunity to fish in different conditions and different types of fish. These rods are usually 3.3 to 3.9 meters long and have a test weight of up to 90 grams. Feeders allow anglers to use both light and heavy feeders and accurately cast bait over longer distances.

Medium power bottom rods are ideal for both large lakes and rivers with medium current. Due to their versatility, these rods can be used in a variety of fishing conditions, from shallow water bodies to deep rivers with stronger currents. These rods are powerful enough to handle larger fish such as bream or carp.

High power rods (Heavy class)

High power rods, also called heavy class rods, are designed for fishing in extreme conditions. These rods are longer and more powerful, designed to handle heavy loads and strong fish. Their length usually ranges from 3.6 to 4.5 meters and the test weight exceeds 100 grams. Heavy class rods are essential when casting large feeders or weights over long distances and fishing in deep waters with strong currents.

Heavy class rods are ideal for large rivers with strong currents and lakes where big and strong fish are caught, such as carp, catfish, big bream and other fish. They are especially useful when fishing where a long cast and a heavy feeder that can withstand a strong current is required.
