The Aero X3 fits perfectly into the middle of the Aero Competition rod range and provides a superb combination of high performance, versatility and diversity, with 8 models covering all main feeder fishing requirements.
The mid-priced competition rod market is full of contenders for the best in class, and the Aero X3 is right up there with the very best of them. We think there’s nothing better for the cost and are sure you’ll be impressed.
Whatever type of rod you need, the Aero X3 has the answer: feeder rods for short and medium precision work, feeder rods for long range and extra heavy fishing, all built to a very high standard using top quality fittings that complement the quality of the blanks and the fantastic actions.
Built on a foundation of Full Carbon, the blanks also benefit from Diaflash technology - a cross wrap of carbon tape on the outer layer, which reduces blank twist and increases response. This was originally developed for high-end spinning rods and is still used on many models where response and feel is necessary.
Within the Aero X3 range you will find three Precision feeder rods. These are designed for close and mid-range work where accuracy is very important. If you want feeder rods for longer range there are five Distance models, from 12' (which actually makes a great mid-range medium feeder rod) to an awesome 14' extreme range casting model that doubles up as a superb big river, large feeder rod.
All models feature a high-end Fuji DPS reel seat mounted onto a cork/EVA handle that oozes quality. Seaguide XOG guides (braid safe) are used on the feeder rods and are specifically placed to enhance the action and maximise casting performance.
If you want quality performance and high-end build quality, combined with a realistically affordable cost, Aero X3 should be one rod range on your list of potential choices.
