Daiwa's new range of N'ZON Rods (which include the Daiwa N'ZON Super Slim 10ft Method) have been very well received as being some of the best rods available for all types of commercial fishing.
When testing the rod I settled into a peg close to the car park of a popular commercial and decided I would fish two lines, one at around 25m using braided line, a cage feeder and dead reds for skimmers and maybe the odd carp.
Now, you might find it a bit strange that I’d choose the 10ft Super Slim N’ZON Method Feeder rod to fish a pub chuck skimmer line, but for close quarters, given its cushioned nature, it’s not far off perfect for the job. Its soft-actioned top section has more of a caress than an actual fish playing action, making it ideal for soft-mouthed silvers with the odd better fish chucked in. I reckon it would double up as a great little winter maggot feeder rod for targeting F1s, ide and silvers at up to 40m, too.
THE VERDICT
The super slim 10ft N'ZON method just oozes quality and the performance highlights the rigorous testing these rods have undergone from anglers at the top of their game. There will be a rod in the range for whatever discipline you have in mind, with the emphasise pushed more towards the commercial style of angling. Don't think for one second however, that these rods wouldn't be suitable for catching weights of silverfish on natural venues or rivers, as they are just as suited to feeder fishing for silvers on a short line as they are waiting for a carp to drag the rod in.
