Rod advice

[scoob8254]

Looking into buying a 2nd hand rod prob in about a months time after my hols, and I'm looking to shortlist 2 or 3, for when I'm scouring the Web.

Looking for a decent fixed spool rod that's not going to break the bank, and is going to get me a bit extra distance

I'm in no rush for one as i only get out once maybe twice a month, I just need 2 or 3 contenders to search for when I'm ready

Cheers

Hi you might want to add what type of ground you fish etc

 

[scoob8254]

Mixed ground mostly, my usual two haunts are ssp and amble, I don't fish anything too rough

Hi, I've got a Fox Matrix Surf around the 16ft in length. Casts 3-7oz and can really put a lead out a long way and yet retains good bite detection. It's well used but the blank is sound. Check out the reviews on them. I think they were around the £250 mark new. Only Looking for £60 as I just don't use it enough.

Cheers m8, think 16ft is bit longer then I really want, appreciate the offer though

There's a new century coming out the Eliminator T1000 if you have a 50" or so lying about lol. How was your lobster? Lol

Was nice actually, the missus loved it, after she got over moaning about a live lobster being in her fridge, lol

Be better off paying for casting lessons for distance mate, no rods gonna greatly improve that, its technique more than anything.

the fixed spool anyfish anywhere sixandbait is a good rod, and easily handle mixed ground, around £150 new or £70-£100 second hand

Have a Daiwa Supercast 13ft on offer, almost brand new.

Set up for Fixed Spool. Only getting rid of it as I got a Yuki Q7 as a christmas pressie from the wife and kids. Decent mixed ground rod (don't think I'd use it on heavy) and it casts well.
