Feeder fishing is something I have spent a lot of time focusing on over the last few years with increasing success having reached a number of big finals in this discipline of the sport including the AT Boddington Championship and Feedermasters Finals.
Preparation as with all aspects of fishing is a vital component to success and it’s no different with feeder fishing. Knowing you are going to the bank with the right feeders, hook lengths, leaders, rods, tips, mono’s and braids all help with being efficient and ready to deal with any eventuality that you could face.
Browning in recent years have launched a number of excellent products that have helped with this aspect of my sport, the Sphere and Black Viper range of feeder rods and reels, the Cenex Braids and mono’s and the range of cage, window, pellet and method feeders have all been of real quality.
In 2020 Browning launched a 3+ Feeder Rod Keeper that not only matches the rest of my fantastic range of Xitan luggage but allows me to take three feeder rods pre-assembled to the bank in total safety. Two external pockets provide space for my landing net handle, brolly, marker sticks and one contains two protective tubes to carry spare tips should fishing and conditions dictate I need a heavier or lighter tip.
Made from robust, waterproof material the Feeder Rod Keeper has two easy grip openings, both with heavy duty reliable zips that open from the rear eliminating line damage and allow easy access to the rods. Each padded compartment has stitched Velcro straps to fasten your rods safely into position removing the possibility of rods and reels from butting up against each other and the risk of damage. The Rod Keeper itself is light, has a shoulder strap, carry handle and pulla for easy comfortable transportation plus studs on the base to protect further. The keeper has ample room and will be a useful addition to the Xitan luggage range to support my fishing.
There’s a Feeder Rod Keeper for every angler as it has a two and three rod extra long 1.90m versions plus a 1.70m four rod version.

The rods are fully protected in this padded holdall, yet very easy to get to.
Each section is individually padded to protect your expensive rods and reels.
"Carry your feeder rods made-up in complete safety."
The handle on the end of the holdall is very useful when getting it in and out of a car or van.
The wipe-clean material is really durable and looks the business!
