Flagship’ is a word that gets bandied around a lot nowadays, but any such tackle should raise the bar for the company behind it and set a standard that the others have to match. One area where Middy has great strength is in its rod design, where it never fails to impress and continues to be a driving force behind cutting-edge developments.

For instance, the three rods in the new Quartix feeder range are the first in the world to utilise a revolutionary new quiver construction technique whereby the quivers are hollow and spliced at the tip, which Middy claims results in “better casting accuracy, a smoother action and insanely sensitive bite registration!” Confident words indeed.

Other quality features on the rods include C-Pulse cast assist guides, Spiratech reinforcement technology at critical stress points, as well as a totally unique True-Crank butt handle design to assist accurate casting, putting them up there among the very best commercial feeder rods on the market. As Middy says: “If you pick up a Quartix rod you will be blown away by its quality true-cast design and construction, then just wait until you have a bite on and see how sensitive the quivers are, it’s something to behold.”

If you want to see just how good the rods are, Middy angler Chris Cameron is using one in our feature on page 48 of the February issue.
