Cresta Protocol Feeder 3.9m 40–80g 219g Heavy Feeder

Cresta Protocol Heavy Feeder Rod 3.9m — Balanced Power for Canal and River Fishing

The Cresta Protocol Heavy Feeder is built for anglers who demand fast action and comfortable handling without sacrificing sensitivity. At 3.9m and 219g, it punches well above its weight for feeder fishing on moving water.

Fast Action, Light in Hand

The Protocol Heavy Feeder delivers a quick, responsive action that loads efficiently with standard feeder rigs. Weighing just 219g across a 3.9m blank, the rod stays comfortable during long sessions without tiring the wrist — a genuine advantage when you're switching between casts frequently on canals or rivers.

Soft Tip Section for Braid Compatibility

The softer upper section is specifically designed to work with braided mainline, absorbing the lack of stretch and protecting lighter hooklengths. The rod comes supplied with two interchangeable carbon tips (2.0oz and 3.0oz) that are compatible across the full Protocol range, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions without swapping rods.

Choose the Right Variant

The Protocol Heavy Feeder is currently available as a single variant. It is best suited to medium-to-large rivers and canals where heavier feeders and longer casts are required, targeting coarse species such as bream, tench, barbel, and carp with standard feeder or method feeder setups.
