[gundog]

Im looking to get myself a rod and reel that will do both beach and rock fishing.leaning towards a mulipler reel.Any help to what might suit would be much appreciated.I used to do a lot of beach and rock fishing when i was younger but obviously rods and reels have come a long way since then.

If your looking for a good set up, I would recommend an abu 7000 (with level wind), to start off with until you get used to the reel & laying line, rod - try & get hold of a century g5 - apollo mk2 - or even a ron thompson axcellerator, as these rods will suit you down to the ground, hope im pointing you in the right direction. the choice is yours !

how long is an elastic band, difficult question to answer best to narrow things down with amount of money you can spend.

how much you want to spend on a rod
and same quest for reel

you dont need all the fancy gear latest technology to enjoy yourself fishing and to catch fish.

In the real world a Sonik SK4 5-7 oz is a magic rod for winter, and either 525 or Slosh 30/equivalent

A bit lighter could be a standard carbon metal if you just intend to hit the beach. Cast further with the Sonik tho.

The Kompressor SS/GP's/WR's are all pokers for casters or v heavy duty.

thats what i do cast and fish heavy ground

Rod all sorted I've got myself a kompressor wr300 so all I'm after now is a reel to go with it.

525 Pennmag or a Slosh 30 but not the Slosh if you have small hands.
