rod question for committee

[bazw]

well after twisting it round in my mind for a few weeks and getting no where i will have to do the yank option and try getting help by committee ( i used to mod on a yank car forum and they need 300 folks to talk to them before they work out if a nut comes of to the left or the right )

so to the question

i want to get a rod for beach work
( i mainly fish hendon beach if that helps )
i want some thing that casts to infinity and beyond, can deal with 6oz and a bad caster, will show me when a blenny is taking a nibble and is stable in the wind
for a multiplier btw
i dont mind if its new or second hand
oh and costs as little as possible

i know easy isn't it , so many to choose from




any thoughts ?

Never used one so my reply is probably a bit shan - but lots of lads rage about the Reelsport Response.

Got to agree......best rod I've used by a long way.

A century C Curve (3c) would suit your needs.

If your after any advice regarding any Reelsport or Century rod then give Terry Wood a bell on 01914226298 or check out his website Home

bazw. i will give you the same advice that I give everybody when asking abpout rods/reels etc. What suits somebody else may quite well not suite you. Best thing is to try a few, borrow one off somebody or even ask a tackle shop if you could have a go.

Black Knight - love it, I've actually got one of them, it's great just never heard anyone rave about them. Good price and solid as rock and making another local tackle dealer some hard earned as well hopefully.

[codonly]

god i hope i get this right.
it was designed for the all rounder market,excellent bite detection,and a good back bone for the rough stuff.
i use mine for flattie matches and its spot on for bite detection and also for the kelp fishing i do in the winter yet again cant fault the rod.
also good value for money imho.
hope this helps baz

[bazw]

Black Night is a century carbon metal dipped black, so if thats what you want then save yourself some cash and get the standard carbon metal, same rod just a diff colour blank
