Rod/reel combo recomendation for wrecking

[Codfather]

This is the one I use;
Maxximus Solid Carbon GREEN (NEW) 7ft 20-50lb boat rod | eBay UK

Along with either an Abu 7000 or shimano tld 15.
I like the tld15 for it's smooth drag control and solidness but like the Abu 7000 for its lightness and level wind.

The Abu 7 is the budget version of the 7000. Fine to start off with but may not last as long as the 7000. Depends how much use your gonna give it I suppose.

This is the one we use:

Fladen Maxximus Solid-C Boat Rods 6ft 6" - Ex-Display Special

It says 20/50lb so it can cope with almost anything but the rod tip is really small diameter.

[The Great Wallsendo]

in answer to the 1lb weight question I would say that no it's not comfy using the uber thin rods with 1lb of lead...however with braid and lighter weights (10-12oz) I really don't think there's the need to fish with 1lb of lead

unless of course when you say deep water you're heading for Norway?

Had a look using the link total price including postage is £61.95 .

[KeithB]

Wasn't suggesting anyone buy from there, I was just saying that's the one we use.

The lad at Seaton Delaval who has an ebay shop, Flashtackle I think, does them for £55 but he won't let you collect so postage is £10, probably better off visiting your local tackle shop.

I think its whitby angling who do a combo sk4 boat rod and a akios 757 for £98 its a cracking deal as the reel its self costs about 80 quid I think

8'6" ??? That'll be nice for pirking.

[The Great Wallsendo]

Aye it's a long un

[The Great Wallsendo]

crikey just hung a 12oz lead off it in the lounge - it's miles away from the reel

it's about 12 inches more than I'm used to that's for sure

is it 0315 (lie in this week - should catch the sunrise though) yet??

theres got to be a smart assed comment for this but i cant think of one

[The Great Wallsendo]

just to say that the new rod worked a treat - it didn't feel too long at all.

lovely lever for the pirks and feels very responsive with the shads

and handles the fish with ease
