Light summer rod any ideas ????

[toonboymc]

Going to put winter rods away after this weekend could do with light rods to target plaice , flounders , dabs and even rays now any ideas something that won't brake the bank balance which is nearly zero due to wedding funds draining it lol

Off top of my head matey

For £250 ish the new Shimano Aspire 130 AX Surf is the best light rod ive tried and owned.

For £100 - 150 you will pick up a nice second hand flattie fantanic or Tip Tornado Ultra light or greys platnum bass

For £50 the shakespear salt rods have a loyal following.... or the Sonic SK3 bass are availible for that prioce or less second hand.

You know what I'm going to say mate. Tip Tornado ld ultra lite.

greys shadow / orion / grx . £ 50 ish .

I have been looking for similar mate.

People might shoot me down for this but i have been leaning towards a heavy spinning rod so I can use it as an all rounder, bit of light bait/ spinning/ lure. Plaice, flounder, dabs etc. dont need a big cast as we all know. The lighter the rod the better the sport. Have been looking at the Greys Sea Spin 11ft around £95 and getting either a 2500 or 4000 size fixed spool

Just had another thought mate, might also be worth looking at estuary rods

I use a penn rampage and surf blaster with braid for the summer mick. Nice and bendy for the smaller fish. You can get the rod and reel for£170.

See my threads created for pics m8
It's basically a shakey salt

Mick I have a Shakespeare endeavour 9ft with a 2nd hand Shimano 500 baitrunner. Cost me less than £60 for the pair. Great combo, fishing is fantastic fun on light gear and won't break the bank.
