Advice on Boat Rod

Hi Lads

A friend wants a new boat rod. As Im clueless about boat rods I thought Id post on here for some help for him.

What he wants:

-a 20lb class rod with a sensitive tip

-6ft in length

-one piece (if possible)

-preferably braid roller eyes (but will look at others)

-not too expensive...in the €60 area

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

At that money he is in the Leeda etc. territory - most tackle shops will have a budge range.
Get him to save his shillings and get something like a Diawa Kensaki 12/20 or even a 6/12 it will probably last longer than the budget rod due to better fittings etc.

this Mitchell Universe Pro Roller Boat Rod might fit the bill nicely: http://www.basstastic.co.uk/mitchell-un ... 1903-p.asp
if not there are a few more choices on the boat rod section.

i bought one of these recently for 50 pounds, they're charging 65 now

they are as light as the more expensive rods and have better quality rings now
