- Testing £15 Korum Phase 1 Feeder Rods | On The Bank Review #korum #daiwa
Last week I saw a deal on angling direct that was just too good pass up on! Korum phase 1 Feeder rods for £15?! Yes please … I bought a couple to test out and review for the channel! These rods are usually £30 so a good saving.
I wanted to get a few carp on them for you and really see if they were up to task of a normal days method feeder fishing.
As always grab yourself brew or a beer and enjoy the session! Let’s see what the rods can do !

AD usually have them in the sale for 15 quid .For someone with not much money or starting out they will be bang on .
This video is one that convinced me to buy this rod. For a complete novice it's great. 6.5lb line on it and I caught a new 14lb PB Mirror. Love it
I have watched these rods in action on one of our waters . For the price they are fantastic . I have honestly witnessed carp up to mid doubles landed. Thanks for posting.
Cracking video once again,brilliant rods for the money keep up the great work,Tight lines.
I managed to get me hands on the Korum phase 1 10 ft float rod It's absolutely fantastic for waggler fishing especially the Pellet waggler had some cracking carp on it already best so far is an 18 pound Ghost carp the rod handled it lovely great rod for the price best 15 notes you'll ever spend simple as that great video bro.
Good session that pal, well done 👏
Just purchased the 11ft... Great video 👍👍
another great video matt...anybody fishing on a budget wouldnt go far wrong with these rods...looking at the performance during ya sesh!....incredible for the price! great review....and some nice fish as well...tight lines to you and ya dad...
Definitely a great budget rod for sure 👌🏻🎣 tight lines Kev 👍🏻
Good session. Some nice fish you caught there bud
Hi Westy , I have both the feeder rod and the float rod, with a phase 1 reel to use on the float rod. All I can say that it's the best money I've spent on fishing gear ,even though I paid full price for rods and reel , they are possibly the best bits of kit I have used in a long time . There is a video on yt with the guy that ,I think runs korum , give it a watch,very informative, tight lines to you both 👍
I absolutely agree bro i have the 11ft and 10 ft float rods there awesome waggler rods i have rods 3 times the price but these phase 1 rods and reels are outstanding quality for so little money even at there full price there excellent i have been fishing 40 years .And the phase 1 products are excellent.The phase 1 reel has full metal gearing and not nylon gearing like other reels in there price bracket,i love fishing the pellet waggler on phase 1 had some great days already with it landing a 18 pound ghost carp the rod handled it lovely,
I really enjoyed your video - thanks for posting. I’m going fishing for the first time in 45 years this summer. I’m taking my ten-year-old son and we’ll both be using Korum Phase 1 float rods (11 ft) which are so light I was a bit worried they wouldn’t be strong enough. Now your video has reassured me. I have a Korum reel for myself and a Shimano for my son. The shops don’t appear to stock Mitchell 324’s anymore! 😉
This is really nice to hear ! Thank you for commenting, I hope you have a good session with your lad, let me know how you get on !
Hi Matt, nice review pal 👍 took your advise and visited Wrightington and Hall Lane this week for the first time. Had a cracking day on both lakes and will defo be going back. Need to get my arse on Harrys now for a sesh 😊 ps the cell wafters defo worked 💪
So good that you have taken my tips and had successful days off the back of them 👌🏻🎣 that’s brilliant!
Smashing content pal 👌👌👌👌
Great video 👍
Iv got both 10ft feeder and float rod I’m really happy with them even at full price.
Korum are a great brand (branch off from Preston) the korum TH-cam channel is really helpful.
Iv recently got my self 2 10f korum opportunist 2 and a quarter test carp rods and have been putting one out on alarms, method feeder whiles fishing with one of the phase1 rods.
The opportunist rods look great I must admit 🎣
Got a phase 1 float rod, absolutely brilliant for the price
I got one of these and a korum reel when they first came out as didnt want to spend a fortune and at first wasnt sure about it but it had no trouble with a 12lb carp at mollys i think you would find it hard to get a lighter rod for anyware near the money even at full price and for £15 its worth having in the shed as a spare rod i fished fan lodge on saturday and the fish have started spawnung its was crazy another great vid 👍
Definitely! That’s why I snapped a couple up, just in case ! I have kept one and given one to my grandad 👌🏻 I do think they are going for a second round of spawning, you just have to hit it lucky at this time of year don’t you ! I haven’t had bad luck with it so far, last year I think I fished every spawning lake each week 😂
Gd vid westy,my shimano aero x1 snapped bringing in a 10lber last weekend,dont think it helped having my 1.5oz tip on instead of 2.Rod looks good but thinking of getting the advanta from AD as has 3oz tip provided.
Just bought one of these rods today £18, will hopefully get out onto the bank next week to try it out, i am very impressed with the reviews on it so far.
Great price !! It’s a good rod !
Love watching your videos. I tried using liqiidised bread on the method feeder had loads of skimmers and 3 slabs about 4 to 5 lbs. Treated myself one of the Korum bait bucket and riddle that you use. Korum must be making a fortune from your videos 👍😊
I know ! They genuinely must 😂 they haven’t replied to my email about it though 🤣
Some lovely looking fish in that pond of yours 😊🎣🎣, been teaching my grandson but so far only on the float , ( I’m old school 😂😂) , think I’ll get him one of those phase 1s , like you and everyone is saying ideal for a beginner, plus they look pukka 😊, he has been dying to use the feeder rod , but I wanted him to learn the float first ( bad grandad 😂) brilliant review 😊😊
You know what Chris, as much as I think the feeder is easier and more enjoyable (less to think about and easier to teach) I think you have done the right thing showing him the float first, teaches patience and concentration a few other things that the feeder doesn’t really need. It’s the way I think most of us started out 🎣👌🏻
Might buy this rod as yesterday I was reloading my feeder when a duck feeding on spilt bait by me,flew off and caught my line between top of rod and feeder and pulled the friggin lot into lake,😡😡,congrats on 22 mirror btw,👍.
I bought one of these with the matching reel last summer as I wanted to do some commercial fishing with my mate and didn’t want to spend a fortune incase the fishery wasn’t great. Well nearly 12 months on and the rod/reel, commercial are performing great. The phase one has handled fish to low doubles with no issues what so ever.
These feeder rods are built so strong and supple these days ! 🎣
Absolute value for money are this rods 🎉
Brilliant timing, I’m sat in bed unable to sleep.
Not had the time to set mine up yet. Them 3000 reels look a great match too.
Very happy with look and feel of these rods. Float rod seems a little stiff for delicate float work. I need to get out and test them myself.
Pellet wetter? Get to Aldi and get the veg bags. 25p. Perfect pellet wetter 😂😂 bargain.
I tend to soak my pellets overnight. Fill an air tight container with pellets to the top. Pour water in to cover the pellets. Lid on give them a shake put them in the fridge. They’ll have swollen and be wedged in the pot, but spot on for for the feeder 👍. Saves me time on the bank on my short sessions.
Great session, great video, (got the fish trained for an action packed outro 😂😂😂) and a decent test for the rods too!
Must be fated as the video was meant to launch in the afternoon 😂 the 3000 regal reels are great, lovely smooth drag etc that’s a great tip for anyone wanting a pellet wetter ! Thanks for watching as always buddy 🎣
@@WestysAngling 🤣🤣 I thought you don't normally release them at that time. But, thank you anyway 40 mins chill before walking the canal.
Them veg bags work a treat. Take up no room in your bag and even less out your pocket.
Cheers for the reel info, I Appreciate it 👍
Great video
I have a pair of those reels you are using I’ve had them for 2 years and they haven’t played up
They seem sound ! I’m impressed with them 👌🏻🎣
@@WestysAngling yea I brought them for method feeder fishing and for small venues
Great video again Matt. I would like to suggest that you include the written details of bait and hook sizes used in each post as I often miss it in the videos for some reason. E.g. what size are the cell wafters and pink bandums? Thank you. Tight lines mate.
That’s a lot of work matey on each video 😂 this one was more about the rods! I usually stick to 8mm wafters at the moment, I think they are the perfect size and pair them with a size 12/10 feeder hook 🪝 tight lines buddy !
@@WestysAngling Thanks very much 👍
Had a little play with nicks korum feeder rod yesterday. Lovely piece of kit at a very affordable price.
Ideal rod as a backup feeder rod or for someone looking to get into feeder fishing on commercials 👌🏻🎣 Nick was straight on the deal like I was 😂
It worked brilliantly …. Absolutely adore it. May have to do something about the reels as they are quite elderly but very wise 😂
Currently on a break in the heat of the day. After visiting Coppul Anglers for tackle supplies and some maggots for when the grandson comes visiting at Heskin Old Hall fishery Thursday. Could not pass the ‘Original Farmers Arms’ as I needed change for all the honesty boxes on this A49 tour (now calling it part 1 as there is so much to cover). Whilst refreshing myself I asked ‘why is it called the ‘Original’?
Answer was ‘because it is the original one in the village’
It is good to be back ‘ome 😅
Rods look good mate can't wait till you review the reels as I need to get a couple of 3000s
I recommend them so far and had a couple people say they have had them a while no issues 👌🏻
Your recommendation good enough for me mate cheers 🍻
Great video. What rods does your dad use for feeder fishing with his alarms?
Greys prodigy 1.25tc 12ft
Alright westy what feeders are you using, another good show learning loads from you thanks
The MAP feeders 👌🏻🎣
Great video can you tell me make your pellet wetter is please ?
Frenzee 🎣
Good video.
Clear concise review with plenty of fish to showcase the subject matter. Westy's just gets better and better.
Stay safe and thanks
Thanks David ! Just trying to make the videos both entertaining and informative but at the same time enjoy my limited fishing sessions 😂
Brilliant rods for the money, I paid £29 but still worth the price
Nice vblog
I've been using korum all rounder quiver rods 10ft 1.1lb tc with 3 tips they are fantastic rods .
Think you need to take a look at them. Brilliant playing action.
Yes more expensive
🎣🎣🎣
I have looked at them! They do look like good rods 🎣🎣
@@WestysAngling they definitely are, the 11ft 1.25tc ones I use for my carp fishing quiet powerful tools.
Definitely worth you trying one
The reels you have
I've got the 4000s size on my pike gear, been using them for about 4.5 years and still going strong 👌👌
1.25 test is very sturdy! I imagine also very soft if they are feeder rods 👌🏻
I had one of these , unfortunately it went for swim at mere lane ! Was a brand new reel as well, lesson learned ! Mini baitrunner and rear gripper type rod rest obtained !hey ho !
It’s happened to all of us at some time or another, I have been for a swim after my Shimano speedmaster 😂 wasn’t letting that one go to Davy Jones Locker 😂
After an 8 year hiatus from fishing those were the rods I went with (bit jealous as mine cost me £35😂) but can't fault them landed 2 15lb carp on it shame it doesn't come with any spare tips but, cannot complain given the price, very good price for what you get, worth it
To be honest the 2oz I use for 95% of my fishing anyway ! They where mad cheap, I have given one of mine to my grandad. I will be buying more rods etc to review 🎬🎣
Spare tips only £9.99 ish from 0.75 to 3oz tips
I paid. £30 for my kroum float rod but i didn't get the reel with it
Was you using the Map embed feeders, if so do you use the rubber clip m8
Yes buddy I was, with all respect to MAP, the clips pointless and useless, it shortens the hook-length too much, doesn’t allow the fish to take the bait fully into its mouth ! I have done a review on them I don’t know if you have seen it but In my opinion the clip isn’t effective 🎣 tight lines buddy !
@WestysAngling ok m8 I've bought quite a few so will try them out this weekend tight lines m8.
Hey bud avid viewer just to let you me and my mate Ian fished harry Saturday just gone and we bagged up we fished far side first couple on the bend bet we had about 20 odd carp between us on the waggler on the deck swooping between hard and soft pellets 8 mm and same happened there were about 12 anglers all but the packed up about dinner they hardly caught but we went with plan and stuck to it but deffo doesn’t look like ther. Spawning good luck bud say hi to your dad
Well done guys ! I’m glad you had a good session 🎣
Anyone know where you can get spare tips for these rods that are not more expensive than the rod 😂
Im thinking of getting a new feeder rod and considering this angling direct sale im losing my mind,10ft korum phase 1 because of price and full cork handle which i like and looks decent or 10ft diawa d carp feeder rod for a little bit more money than the phase 1 but also looks good??🤯 ..do you know the line rating of the phase 1 please,can it take 10lb line?
It’s not rated to 10lb , but I’m sure it would be fine ! Can’t go wrong for £20. Diawa for reels , Shimano or Korum for rods
I've picked up a phase 1 float rod, paired it up with angling directs own brand Advanta x5 4000. With 5lb mainline and a pellet waggler and some hooks and pellets for little under £50. Going to try it on Saturday
Brilliant! Let me know how you get on 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling Will do , i aint so worried about the rod but the reel. Was the only thing I could afford at this price range
Definitely mate ! I’m convinced they are all made in the same factories anyway 😂
@@WestysAngling Well hopefully it wont cave in.
Just saw video,good review,went straight to Angling direct site,no longer in sale,although it said that one is 11’ ?.You seem to be bagging up the last few videos,well done Matt,tight lies mate,🎣👍
Ahh has the deal ended now Harry? It was a very cheap offer ! No definitely 10 foot couple of people on the WestysAngling Facebook group bought them too 🎣👌🏻 they do 9,10 and 11ft. We have had nice weather definitely makes things easier !
Just a note .. The sale has ended at AD. But you can get them for £18 at Leigh tackle & bait... I'm not affiliated...😃
Well that’s near enough the same price ! 🎣
Where did you get them for 15 quid really good that i can only find them for 35 quid
Angling direct 🎣 they have them in the sale quite often 👍🏻 I think someone else in the comments found them somewhere else for less than £15 also 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling thats class mate im glad i come across ya channel loved fishin when i was young now im just starting up again learnt alot already from your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What is this fishery called buddy🎣
Harry’s !
I think the Korum net poles are terrible the rods look really nice tbf
They seem really good quality to be honest, all the blanks for these new feeder rods are probably made in the same factory somewhere 😂
6.99 delivery though !
Linda must be spawning. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
In today's economy, some parent who has a mad 🐠 fishing 🎣 son pair of those for Xmas, won't brake the bank ,
100%!
There already not available for 15 quid
Chris follow the WestysAngling Facebook community page we all share stuff like this 👌🏻🎣
@@WestysAngling will do thanks
How are we westy
Yes good buddy 👍🏻🎣
No alarms rods to warn you will still be dragged in most fisheries dont allow you leaving them if the bait runner fails which they can no rod carp dragging it around util it snaps please please stop
No, I will fish how I want to fish. It’s perfectly safe. If you are saying bait runners will fail, why do carp fisheries allow you to sleep in a bivvy with the baitrunners on a reel and not be scared of a big carp or cat fish dragging your rods in. There is no logic to your comment
@@WestysAngling well you fish how you want most of your vids your begging for sponcers but i doubt the big names will bother and as to lost rods did your dad not lose one in a vid you did , in a bivy Good anglers have a reciver never seen you with one on your walk abouts i rest my case the logic is they have recivers you Dont think before you engage your finger on the key board
Hi Westy, bought one of these for our 11 Yr old Grandson to get into feeder fishing. We matched it with the phase 1 reel which is wrapped new with 8 Ib line. So far he's had some fantastic sessions with his biggest carp being 7.5 Ib For the money, the rods are spot on. @jackontheboxfishing
That’s brilliant!! Great he is getting into feeder fishing also, very fun and effective way of fishing as you probably know 👌🏻🎣
