[billy boy]

its a pity you werent over here theres a full set up on www.castandcatch.com that would suit your needs.

Where exactly would that be, it doesn't happen to show on the link you left or was that just another link to another site.

i agree with the others here you need some warm clothing and foot wear first (iff you dont already have some) and a head lamp .
then decide what you have left to spend on a rod and reel
any rod and reel will catch fish but the more you spend the longer life and quality you will get

[gazzawill]

i my self use a shakespere powerplay multi rod combined with a abu sports mag for clean beaches and peir work ' about £140 for them both if you look around
i find they do the buiss for me . this set up can cast from the shore around 150 yds or so .
its a decent rod and reel set up for a beginer or experianced


just my opinion lads and lassies

[willywetegg]

That is a VERY impressive distance Gazza, I don't know many people that can cast a bait that far with specialised gear mind.

try before you buy???

Pop into one of the local tackle shops and i am sure they will be more than happy to let you take a rod out for a swish on the playing field before you buy one. I bought my last two like that and am very pleased with them. I bought one mail order and lo & behold it is horrible to use (wasn't cheap either!!). I would agree with the rest of the lads that a SLOSH 20 &30 would be my choice as they are cracking reels and cheap to boot!.

[blacky]

definately recommend a slosh 30,brilliant reels.

[gazzawill]

100/150 yards is nothing jim sounds more than it is
theres pendulum casters hit 200+

[willywetegg]

Not with a big bait on they don't Gazza, if you could name me one I would be very surprised mate. If you doubt me put a post on the casting forum and see what you get back.

Jim.

[john/r]

sorry for the hassle

[john/r]
