- I look in detail at this sub £40 feeder rod from Nytro, a new brand to the market. I also include some on the bank footage of the rod in use.

Top review Paul. Tempting purchase. Not got a 9ft rod.
Just ordered one of these rods for my close in work based on the review. Thanks, Paul.
Good choice!
A very good, unbiased, informative review.👍
Thanks! 👍
I have a starkx method feeder from nytro. Lovely rod.
Love the rocket had carp to 20lb on the 10ft wag. Keep up the reviews Paul, hope you enjoy the Nytro.
For the past five years or so I've been using a second hand 10' Carbonactive Mini Carp Feeder Rod. Seeing Paul's positive review on the 9' Nytro Impax I thought I'd give one a go particularly as it appeared to be very good value for money!! I fished with it for the first time on Wednesday using a Preston 20g ICS In-line Banjo XR Feeder filled with 2mm pellets and a 6mm banded pellet on the hook (at no more than 30m). I can say I felt able to cast more accurately than with the Carbonactive. I caught a mixture of fish: Ide, skimmers, F1's and mirrors to 3-4lb. Rod handled everything well. At a cost of only £40.00 I'm very pleased I went ahead with the purchase!! NB Angling Direct list the casting weight of the 9' as 40g - it isn't, the rod is marked 30g. It isn't an issue for me given the relatively short distance I cast.
Thank you for pointing out the error on the casting wait. That is actually rather annoying , as I bought the Impax 9ft ahead of the NTR 9ft based on the fact that the Impax was listed as 40g casting weight, compared to 30g on the NTR. And of course I have just loaded up with new 30g feeders. Ho hum. Still a nice rod for the money.
Just received the 11 ft Pellet Waggler rod, once again just like the 9 ft carp feeder rod the looks are great and the feel is very good! You are talking in your review about the crisp that the rod has, well the same still goes for the 11 ft Pellet Waggler. Thanks again for your honest review that helped me to buy these rods!
Brilliant news, thanks for the comment, others will read what you have put with interest.
Great review. Looks good value.
Excellent video cheers Paul
In the Supera X 9ft video I’ve done a table comparing it to the Nytro, the Nytro comes out very well.
Thnx bud. Treated myself to the 10ft today. Just wanted something half decent that wouldnt break the bank ...cheers bud.
I’m sure you’ll be pleased with it.
What a great preview Paul. Interestingly I have a pair of 7ft Wanzee's and have to say that I fish most venues with these if they are max 25 meters wide. I have had fish to 13Lbs on them with no problems. I have to say that you have kindled some interest in me getting a pair of these Nytro's. Cheers.
I had a wandzee but couldn’t get on with it. I don’t think you need to go under 9ft unless the pegs are restricted by undergrowth etc
Great video 👍. The rod sounds and looks great for the price. I just ordered the 9ft based on your review 👍👍
Enjoy an excellent rod.
Thanks, for doing the review, otherwise I would never have looked at one of these rods.👍🎣👍
Just bought a nitro feeder rod , can't wait to get on the bank with it !
Enjoy!
2 months later I have sold it ! Not a good rod !
All ways trust your opinions Paul l love progressive action rod's Great review mate Thought you would have had a supera x by now 😊
Thanks. I am so tempted by a Supera x, it would also make a great video comparing to the original!
@@paulstacklereviews1695 Yes it would mate Thinking of getting one myself and been looking at the Nytro impax Look great rod's if you say there good there must be something in it Cheers
Should do more of the fishing style videos i enjoyed that , very relaxing lol
Especially when I don’t put music over it!
Very good review as always,the only thing that worries me about short rods is when you’re about to land the fish and it gets under the platform and breaks you (platforms stick out about 3ft on venues where I fish)thanks vic
Similar at my club water, that’s why a soft rod can be difficult, with this rod there is power further down to provide more control at netting and stop the fish running. The issue you raised was one of the problems I had with the 7ft wandzee.
Great video and I agree with you about the Preston 10ft Supera, I also have a 9ft version, what a rod! These Nitro rods however actually look pretty decent for the money and appear much better quality than the Preston Ignition equivalent.
One observation (I could be wrong due to the camara angle) but when playing the fish you appear to be pinching the rod between your thumb and index finger rather than actually wrapping your right hand fingers around the reel seat area, any reason for this?
Thanks for the good feedback. When I’m fishing for skimmers in particular (and other smaller fish) I don’t tend to hold the rod tight to allow a bit more play when the fish surge to reduce hook pulls. For carp I do hold the rod using my whole hand and let the clutch take the strain. It is funny when you video yourself, you see things you didn’t know you were doing!
Hi Paul great review, LOVE your comparison on rods... Which Supera did you have which you rate? I know there are SL Super lights? I am looking at buying a second hand one.. Txs Tony
Thanks. I have the original Supera 10ft and a Supera x 9ft (there are videos on both). They are truly superb rods that I love using. That said the Nytro Impax isn’t that far behind them, spending a lot more only brings marginal improvements in performance. I haven’t seen the SL version, I have a Matrix XS slim which is a similar action.
Thank you so much Paul. Appreciate it 👍
Great vid Paul where was you fishing
Thanks for the good feedback. The carp were caught at Stroud Angling club water in Uley near Dursley, the skimmers were Burley Fields lake in Leckhampton (£6 day ticket) near Cheltenham.
Nice little look at the Impax but the thing that interests me more is how are you getting on with the Aero XR does it do everything we come to expect from Shimano? I am disappointed they only come with single handle.
I am very very pleased with the Aero xr, not had any issues with it, clutch is as good as I’ve used. Ive stopped looking at reels (for now!). I think it’s very competitively priced. I’ve used double handles in the past but prefer a single now, the arm is longer with a single so gives more cranking power.
@@paulstacklereviews1695 l have two 5000 XRs and a 4000 and l can't believe the quality but as l say l would have liked a double handle option. Glad you are as impressed as l am and it was Nick Speed who told me about their new reel release and wait before buying anything else. Tom Pickering is endorsing the new Nytro tackle but l am very picky with rod handle length and reels with a slower than 6;1 gear ratio. l am going to look at the Aryzon 9' rod this week and if it has a short handle like the Free Spirits and Shimano's l'm buying one. I like your tackle reviews as you cover in depth, and you're honest.
Another great video Paul, just a couple of questions Paul . 1 do you know the diameter of quiver tips base and 2 what is that seat / stool you are using, it looks nice and light. Thanks Dave
It’s says on the tip that the diameter is 2.5mm. My lightweight box is a MAP H30 frame with a shallow side drawer only and a Seatbox uk padded seat. I also have non extending 30mm Preston Legs, I think it’s around 7kg including the contents of the shallow tray.
@@paulstacklereviews1695 Thanks Paul for your reply. Will have to have a look at that seatbox/stool ,very light , is the padded seat an extra you purchased and do you know if you can fit a footplate. Apologies for so many questions .Regards Dave
I bought the full MAP H30 box including footplate and extending legs then adapted it. I’ve done a video on that box on my channel and also done a video on the Seatbox UK seat I bought to replace the one that came with the H30 box. If you’re looking for a cheap lightweight box look at my video on the Westlake box, an even lighter set up with a side drawer.
Thanks to your review I bought the 9ft rod and it looks just great and feels very well. Is there any reason to beliieve that this same quality and performance is to expact from the Pellet Waggler 11 ft? Thanks for your great revies on you tube!
Thanks for the good feedback. I haven’t seen one (it’s so hard to see stuff nowadays), but modern ‘budget’ rods are very good quality and I would suspect it would be a very decent rod and more than up to the job. If you do get one put a comment on what it’s like.
Thanks for your reply Paul, oce I have the rod I will give you an fare answer!@@paulstacklereviews1695
Hey Paul, great review! I'm curious on your option, can this rod handle bigger fish? The average carp that I'm catching on the lake I fish the most are between 1kg and 5 kg, but there are some really big ones out there (20+). Can this rod handle those ones?
It could handle them, but I’d say it’s a rod designed for carp up to 10lb (5kg), above that I think there would be better options (probably longer rods).
@@paulstacklereviews1695 Thanks for the answer! I appreciate it and the work you put out on youtube!
Damm ive been looking for a new rod and ended up buying a garbolino picker which has turned out to be way too soft n tippy 😩
Will av to take a look at getting a nytro instead now 😆
I was expecting the Nytro to be softer than it is, it has a great action with power through the rod but soft enough for skimmers.
Looks a nice rod Paul. Looks like it’s got a bit of backbone in the butt section….. I prefer rods like that.
For £40 it looks a real bargain. Another great review Paul Cheers.
Thanks for the good feedback. It has a great action with good balance of tip softness and power further down.
Bought the 10 feeder last year from angling direct for £35 with two tips loved it ,unfortunately I managed to break the 1oz tip .replacement was £15 comments
Just received my 9ft Nytro Impax rod. Looks great, cant believe how light it is and feels very good quality considering the price. Just put a 4000, 3000 and a 2500 size reel on it to see what feels best. I am actually thinking the 2500 size reel feels better, the weight feels perfect. What size reel are people currently using on them?
I use a 4000 Aero XR which balances for me, but go with whatever feels best for you.
Thanks, once I actually use it. Hopefully next week, I will try different size reels and I test it out with the casting etc...
I just bought the Shimano Aero XR C3000 perfect match for this rod!
