Beachcaster Advice

I have decided to buy a penn mag 2 and Im looking into getting myself a decent beachcaster.dont fish in too many rough ground areas but have a few locations that produce a very strong current.All advice would be appreciated

Have a look at the Ian Golds range. Superb rods at fantastic prices. You will find something to suit. Check out eastcoasttackle.ie.

I've seen some Greys rods what do you lads think of them?? I own a 15'9 penn powerstix myself and love it.. but thats with the fixed spool though they do them for multis as well

sonik rods are very good value and guaranteed for life against accidental breakage.

What sort of budget have you got?
I would agree holla1974, Ian Golds range of rods are great. I have the International match and love it, great for putting out a lead, won't buckle in a strong tide or wind and great bite detection from creatures big and small

Thanks for the replies lads.Looking to spend between €120-€150

Ian Golds rods range in price from 120 euro to 220 euro. Have the Supermatch Extra which is the longest in the range at fourteen foot ten. Bought for 220. Superb quality rod. Available in fixed spool and multi. Also have the Penn Powerstix Pro thirteen foot which will accommodate fixed spool or multi. Prices vary. Seen them for 130 euro got mine from Northern Ireland for ninety two including delivery. Lovely rod also.

Whoops I don't even know what rod I have, I have the super match extra too!

And what a rod. Now I have to learn to use it properly.

+1 for the Ian Golds rods. Have the International Match and the Enticer. If your budget can stretch to 200 you should have a look. Give Paul Mason (search username) a shout.

As Jayball10 said give Paul Mason a shout he is the owner of eastcoasttackle.ie which I mentioned in one of my earlier posts. Gentleman to deal with.

Thanks for all the replies,I have been looking at the Penn powerstix pro 15"9,and the Grauvell technos range.Anybody used either of them,how do they cast,whats their action like and do they go well with a multiplier?

Id take the Powerstix over the Grauvell any day mate. Ive owned both. My Grauvell Teknos Surf snapped bringing in a 2lb Smoothound last summer. I replaced it with a Powerstix which is still bringing in some fine fish a year and a half later. Im sure a lot of lads on here will agree with the Penn. They have a great rep.
