Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Feeder anglers fishing big lakes and reservoirs. The long-distance design, 30-75g casting range and slim-line blank are geared towards getting a loaded feeder out accurately.
- River anglers needing reach and control. The 12ft and 13ft options give you extra line control when fishing wider swims or holding a line away from snags and bankside trouble.
Maybe skip if
- Commercial anglers fishing short-range margin spots. A distance feeder rod can be more rod than you need when the fish are feeding under your feet.
- Anglers with cramped pegs or limited casting space. The longer blank needs room to load properly, especially if you choose the 13ft version.
The lowdown
Introducing the Maver MV-RXX Distance Feeder Rod
A slim, high-carbon distance feeder rod with useful tip options and a serious-looking build. The MV-RXX is aimed squarely at anglers who need to punch a feeder out, stay accurate and still enjoy a decent scrap at the net.
- Available in 12ft and 13ft lengths, with the 12ft model measuring 3.60m.
- High-grade 1K carbon fibre blank with a slim-line design.
- 30-75g casting weight for distance feeder work.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Maver MV-RXX Distance Feeder Rod looks a proper tool for anglers fishing wide venues, big reservoirs and rivers where a standard feeder rod simply runs out of legs. Its high-grade 1K carbon blank, slim profile and 30-75g casting range give it the right brief for distance work without making it sound like a clumsy broom handle.
The two hollow tips are a useful touch, and the Fuji reel seat, American Tackle snagless guides and flat cork handle all point towards a rod built with serious feeder fishing in mind. At £199.99 for the 12ft or £219.99 for the 13ft, it’s not a bargain-basement purchase, but it looks bob on for the angler who needs proper reach and casting control.

High-grade 1K carbon fibre, American Tackle snagless guides and a Fuji reel seat give it a quality-focused build.
The 30-75g casting range, slim-line blank and long lengths are well matched to distance feeder work.
Better reach, line control and repeatable casting can help you fish productive spots that shorter rods can’t comfortably reach.
The two hollow tips are useful, but the longer distance-focused design needs room and may be more rod than some anglers need.
The fittings and distance-focused design justify the price bracket, though it’s a specialist purchase at £199.99 or £219.99 RRP.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Maver MV-RXX Distance Feeder Rod
Some feeder rods are built for flicking a small cage across a commercial lake. The Maver MV-RXX Distance Feeder Rod is playing a different game, mate. This one is aimed at the angler who needs to reach, clip up and put a feeder down the same line without turning every cast into a full-on faff.
Available in 12ft and 13ft lengths, it gives you a choice depending on the venue and the amount of line control you need. The 12ft version is 3.60m long, while the 13ft model adds a little more reach for bigger water, wider rivers and situations where keeping line up off the surface really matters.
The casting range is 30-75g, which tells you plenty about the job this rod is meant to do. It’s not a dainty little wand for tiny method feeders and short-range commercials. It’s built around getting a sensible amount of feeder and bait out there, loading the blank properly and landing with accuracy rather than just lobbing for the sake of it.
That makes it a natural fit for reservoir feeder fishing, large gravel pits and open rivers. Anywhere you’re fishing beyond the comfortable range of a standard feeder rod, the MV-RXX starts to make a lot more sense. Get clipped up, pick a far-bank feature or a clean line, and the rod is designed to help you repeat that cast all session.
The blank is made from high-grade 1K carbon fibre and has a slim-line profile. That’s the sort of construction you want in a distance rod: enough backbone to handle the cast, but without making the whole thing feel like a scaffolding pole. A slim blank also makes the rod more pleasant to handle while you’re waiting for that little tip pull or a screaming take.
Maver has fitted the rod with American Tackle snagless guides, which are a smart choice for feeder fishing. They’re designed to keep the line flowing cleanly and reduce the chances of loops or knots catching during the cast. When you’re fishing at range, little bits of friction and line trouble can soon become a proper headache, so tidy guide design matters.
There’s a Fuji reel seat too, giving the reel a secure home when you’re leaning into a punchy cast or playing a lump in the flow. Add the bespoke flat cork handle and the package sounds nicely thought through. The flat profile should sit comfortably against the forearm and give you a solid reference point when setting up for repeated casts.
The two hollow tips are rated at 2.5oz and 3.0oz. That’s a useful pairing rather than a token extra. You can choose the lighter option when conditions are kinder, then step up when the wind gets cheeky, the river is pushing or you need a heavier feeder to stay put. Always match the feeder and line setup sensibly, of course, but the choice is dead handy.
At £199.99 RRP for the 12ft rod and £219.99 for the 13ft, this sits in the serious enthusiast bracket. It’s sold as a single rod, not a twin-pack or a full setup, so you’ll need to add your reel, line and terminal gear separately. Still, if long-distance feeder fishing is your main thing, the MV-RXX looks like a focused bit of kit rather than a compromise purchase.
The big decision is length. Go 12ft if you want a strong balance of distance, control and easier handling. Choose 13ft when the extra reach is genuinely useful and your swim gives you room to work. Either way, this is a rod for getting serious about range, accuracy and those far-bank bite-time opportunities.

Our take
The angle
The MV-RXX is all about making distance feeder fishing more controlled and less of a faff. You get the choice of 12ft or 13ft, a 30-75g casting range and two hollow tips rated at 2.5oz and 3.0oz. That gives you a sensible spread for loading the rod properly with different feeders and managing changing conditions.
It’s not trying to be an all-round commercial fishery wand. This is a specialist distance rod, aimed at reaching the far side, a long gravel bar or a wider river line while keeping your fishing accurate. If you’re clipped up and needing the feeder to land on the same spot time after time, that’s where this sort of build earns its keep.
Closer look
A slim blank with distance work in mind
The MV-RXX is built around long-distance feeder casting. Its high-grade 1K carbon fibre construction and slim-line blank are intended to give you the power to load the rod while keeping the overall package neat in the hand. That matters when you’re making repeated casts over a long session.
The 30-75g casting weight gives you room for sensible feeder setups, with enough range to cope when the wind gets up or the river needs a heavier feeder. It’s a proper working range for open-water feeder fishing, not a number aimed at tiny close-range work.
You get two hollow tips, rated at 2.5oz and 3.0oz. The softer option can suit kinder conditions, while the heavier tip gives you a bit more authority when the feeder needs holding steady. American Tackle snagless guides, a Fuji reel seat and the bespoke flat cork handle round off a quality-minded build.
Worth knowing. The 12ft model is A3074 and measures 3.60m. The 13ft version is A3076. The longer rod can help with line control and reach, but only choose it if your swim gives you enough room behind and above you.
Who it suits
Made for range, not margin pottering
This is aimed at anglers fishing big reservoirs, gravel pits and wider rivers where the productive line sits a fair way out. If you’re clipping up to a far-bank shelf, a bar or a clean patch and need repeatable casting, the MV-RXX fits the job nicely.
The 12ft version is likely to be the more versatile choice for many anglers. It offers useful reach without becoming too awkward on tighter pegs. The 13ft model makes more sense when the extra length helps keep line off the water, steer around bankside features or control a long line in flow.
It’s less suited to short-range commercial fishing, especially when the fish are down the margins. You can use it there, obviously, but it would be a bit like taking a van to fetch a pint. The rod’s strengths show when you’re making proper casts and fishing beyond the comfortable range of lighter feeder gear.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want nailed down
What does the 30-75g casting weight mean? It describes the intended range of feeder and bait weight the rod is designed to cast. Your exact setup still needs sensible matching between feeder, line, reel and casting style, particularly if you’re casting hard at distance.
Which length should you choose? Pick the 12ft if you want a more manageable all-round distance feeder option. Go 13ft when extra reach and line control are worth more to you than compact handling. Don’t ignore the swim, though: a long rod needs room to work.
Is it supplied with tips? Yes. The MV-RXX includes two hollow tips, a 2.5oz and a 3.0oz. That gives you a handy way to adapt the setup as the wind, flow and feeder requirements change.
Worth knowing. The rod is sold as a single unit. The RRP is £199.99 for the 12ft model and £219.99 for the 13ft model, before adding a suitable reel and the rest of your feeder setup.
