You expect more than just quality in a flagship rod and Middy’s latest XK55-2 World Pro 11ft Feeder delivers the goods.
MIDDY NANO-CORE XK55-2 WORLD PRO 11ft FEEDER RRP: £188.99 (but shop around for the best price)
MIDDY produces mighty impressive commercial fishery rods these days, everything from close-quarter snake lake models to powerful horizon-hitting beasts. And what’s more, there’s something to suit every depth of pocket.
Close to the pinnacle of Middy’s comprehensive feeder rod range sits the latest new and improved 11ft Nano-Core XK55-2 World Pro Feeder. Don’t be deterred by the RRP because it can be found at a lower price around £159.99 if you shop around.
That said, it’s still a lot to lay out by anyone’s standards, so what exactly would you be buying? Well, for starters you get an ultraslim (it’s just over 3cm circumference at the butt section), ridiculously light, two-sectioned carbon fibre blank, and the result of the very latest Nano-Core technology. This translates into a rod with lightning-fast reflexes, immense strength and flexibility.
