Buying new spinning rod - advice needed

Hello everybody,

I just recently (10 days ago) moved to ireland and i hope to buy a new spinning rod soon as i left my old gear back at my home country, Israel.

Back in Israel i was using Major Craft Crostage Sea Bass 9" 7-23g casting weight regular fast, as i took a look in a few shops in Cork, which is were i am based, i couldnt find a lot of the brands i am familliar with...

Can you please recommend me a rod with a samilliar attributes? i will get it atached with a 3000-4000 size shimano reel.
(my budget will be up to 100euro, could stretch a bit if it's not enough)

Most of my fishing will be from the rocks and the beach using mostly soft plastics with 1/4 to 1/2 oz. jig heads and some minnow lures, of course i will be open to try any new local methods as i know each place has its own secrets.


Thanks,
Omer


Ohh....and a few fishing spots reccomendations will be nice as well

rod-abu vendetta 9' 15-40 grm
reel -shimano cattana 4000
a good set up for less than 100 euro and suitable for all species found on our shores.
hope this helps,noel.

if you have €100 euro for just the rod, check out the savagegear bushwhacker. Great value

10x Sandblaster, although i think the vendetta is a bit heavy for me, the heaviest lure i'll be using would probably be 1 1oz. wobbler, most of my fishing will be with sp's so im looking for something a bit more sensitive...but i will give the vendetta a look just to feel it in my hands

thanks for the link as the rod recommendation as well...

have a look at the range of Ryobi Arctica SPX Spinning Rods

He sells way more than is shown on the website . Well worth a visit .

I bought a lovely Shimano Yasei Red Sea Bass 7-35g rod from him . I also bought a shimano aernos 4000 from him .

I also have a bushwhacker,its not great .

If you left your Major Craft rod behind and want another quality Japanese bass rod the Major Craft rods have recently arrived in the UK for example Art of Fishing stock them. Also Lure Heaven import the Graphiteleader rods. Both of these stores will ship to Ireland.

I use a sakura rookie, class rod if you can get one, don't think they are being made anymore though

If you can stretch to it a Grauvell Teknos 802ml or the 832m are both worth a look at. Great rods and good value.
