aldi 12ft telescopic

Hi just wondering has anyone used this rod birthday is in 3 weeks going to get a daiwa 14ft off ringo in gotcha angling for €120 but this is only €25 to do me between now and then anyone used one or any feedback?

I don't think that rod will last long if you are going sea fishing. I will get some of the lures for €4. There was some cracking fish caught in Kerry last year on these cheap lures.

i would say hang tough man for the diawa..........

I find plenty of bits of them on the rocks of north clare where people have tried to horse things with them.

A 25 euro telescopic rod would be a waste of cash and will snap in no time. Emerald rods will get you fishing if you are stuck for cash and will last. Awful rod to fish with though. Best off getting a decent cheaper end rod like a Penn powerstick

Put up a wanted ad in the for sale section and you might get somethin decent to pair with your daiwa. i got a daiwa meanstreak 13ft multi new for 60 euro so there are other options

Telescopic rods are a waste of time in general, first time you get caught in a big clup of weed or get snagged you would do well not to snap the thing. Put a another few euro with it and get something that will last.

yeah see price wasn't the issue just wanted something to do me till April 2nd when I buy my daiwa, not sure what model I'm being offered but it's 120 euro think that's a decent price or so I'm told

I had a Jarvis walker telescopic when I first started fishing I caught some big fish with it cost 30 euro. paid 80 for the piece of stick I have now and it snapped with feck all on it. went to see the aldi rod today reel is plastic and rod isn't much better so didn't buy it. bought a sand spike and glasses though seem ok.

not all telescopic rods are bad but you wont get one that cheap ,i have two telescopic rods one is a grauvell and is a good rod for 3 oz work the other is an italian one with a quiver tip ,they are very handy for keeping in the car for those sneekey sessions
