Joined Jul 4, Messages 12, I've just found this rod in amongst my tackle I did not know I had, don't know where it came from or when I got it. Does anyone have any info on this rod? How old it is, if it's shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download good and what it was designed for? I was hoping it would be a light match rod but it seems a bit pokier than that.

Then found this when sorting through tackle. I think I'm going to give it a try this week when I fish the waggler again. But eventually Shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download going to get an Acolyte Ultra 12ft feeder rod later this year, and if I get into float fishing will be looking at maybe an Acolyte Carp Waggler for commercials which leaves me with just a stick float rod to buy.
Joined May 31, Messages 5, Yeah I had the feeling it was a budget rod. As I have no idea where it came from it must have been something my dad picked up from a car shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download.
Lee Richards Regular member Site Supporter. Joined Feb 19, Messages 9, What makes you think its a budget rod? The Mach Pellet Wagglers are very sought after and superb rods and there are plenty of anglers on here that have these and the other rods in the range. Use one of mine for margin fishing for lumps and had a fair few high teens and low doubles on it.
Couldn't find much info on them online so was going on what I could tell. I love my 20 year old Shakespeare Tetra Avon rod I have been using for feeder fishing all winter but as I won it in a match many years ago I have no idea about it and had that down as a budget rod too. I think I have always had the wrong idea about Shakespeare rods and they're actually quite decent.
If you afford it I'd get the acolyte ultra and the plus, the carp waggler action is not very nice in my opinion.

Click to expand Joined Mar 19, Messages 6, The mach 1 and 2 range weren't that good, I have a 10ft mach 1 quiver and a 13ft mach 2 float rod both of which are a bit stiff and unforgiving, the mach 3 range was in a different league with fuji rings, better quality carbon and a better action.
If you are looking for a good quality commercial waggler rod Shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download would give the Tri-cast range some serious consideration, they may be a few grams heavier than an equivalent Acolyte but they have superb actions, retaining a very crisp action but still having a forgiving playing action when needed, Tri-cast really do know how to produce carbon blanks Trilogy Commercial Waggler Rods - The John Allerton Range From Tri-Cast Fishing Carbon fibre feeder rods.

Joined Apr 22, Messages I have got the 11ft shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download 3 pellet waggler, but its never seen a pellet waggler, this rod l sometimes use in the summer for tench and crucian, float fishing with sweetcorn.

I am selling a 12ft acolyte ultra feeder, happy to hold onto it for you. Bullmoose Jackson Regular member. Joined May 22, Messages Zerkalo said:. Joined Aug 2, Messages 4, Thanks for all replies. I'll give the rod a try. Don't think I'll be in the market for a new rod not just yet either as can see myself using it too often, but we'll see.
The Twin Tip rod was bought for Tench, Chub, and bigger Carp which should see me through as I'll start using my pole again when the weather warms up, but who knows I might get into a shakespeare mach 3 xt 12ft feeder rod free download more waggler fishing to make it worthwhile as next rod purchases will be an Acolyte 12ft Ultra Feeder rod for Bream come August, and the possibility of a rod for float fishing on rivers.
