IDentity ZXT Distance Feeder

The collaboration between Cresta and renowned feeder angler Michael Zammataro has led to the development of two top-tier feeder rods in the well-known IDENTITY series. Drawing on Michael’s decades of international experience, these rods are expertly designed for distance and river fishing—his true area of expertise. The IDENTITY ZXT Distance Feeder rods are built on high modulus Japanese carbon blanks with a direct lacquer finish, eliminating the need for additional paint layers. This results in a remarkably lightweight and well-balanced rod with a very fast action. The rods are equipped with carefully spaced lightweight Seaguide guides that reduce friction during casting and improve line flow. Their three-piece construction, including the tip section, makes them easy to transport, while the start guide positioned on the handle section enhances casting efficiency. The playing action  of both The IDENTITY ZXT Distance Feeder rods has been precisely tuned to offer the right amount of flexibility in the tip and middle sections, allowing you to confidently fight and land large fish, even with relatively light tackle. Meanwhile, the stiff butt section ensures maximum control and a direct feel when striking. The handle is fitted with a padded Fuji reel seat and finished with a combination of high-grade cork and foam, shaped in a traditional round profile that provides a secure and comfortable grip. Red visibility markings on the tips, along with color-coded wrappings on the last guide, indicate the tip strength for easy identification. The ZXT 400 model, at 4.0 meters in length with a casting weight of 40–100g, is ideal for versatile long-distance fishing for roach, skimmers, and bream. The ZXT 410, slightly longer at 4.1 meters with a casting weight of 60–120g, is perfect for tackling strong-flowing rivers and fishing at extreme distances. With tip options ranging from 1.5oz to 4.0oz, these rods offer precision, control, and top performance in all conditions.

Key Features

Blanks

The blanks are made from high Modulus Japanse carbon fibres and finished with a thin layer of paint to avoid the unnecessary weight.

Guides

The ZXT feeder rods feature Seaguide Zirconia Guides which are optimally placed to achieve an optimal curve throughout the blank.

Tips

Each ZXT rod comes with three lightweight tips. The guides on each tip are carefully selected to provide an optimal balance between size and fast recovery depending on the testcurve.

Put Over Joints

The put-over joints help maintain the low overall weight of the rods and ensure a smooth, uninterrupted action.

Handle & Reel Seat

The handles are made from high-quality cork and soft-touch black EVA, and are finished with an ergonomic slimline Fuji reel seat.

Hook Keeper

Just above the reel seat, a small but very useful hook keeper is attached.
