Report: Went out today with Mark to try out his new Lidl rod and reel. we went to Balscadden for a bit of mack bashing,after a few hours we had enough not a Mackerel in sight. We moved to another spot where Mark fished years ago after a bit of mountaineering we were up and running again. I blanked again but Mark christened his new Lidl rod with a double of small Pollock Great to get out fishing again and the sun even came out we will be back again with bait and catch a nice 5lb pollock

great to see the Lidl rod catching fish after all the bad press the got,hard luck on the blank nicefish
should be good fun with a 5lb pollack on the Lidl rod,cant wait to see it

well done for gettn out there..... good to see the lidl gear liftin a few fish............

its good to get out, I mite try to get up there my-self today.

welcome to the site marky
hope to see more reports from you,never mind what people say about the lidl rod,i bet nicefish is jealous of the lidl rod after he blanking i have a cheap rod which i am thinking of using again because i think i caught more on it then the expensive rods

well done mark remember it not the tool you use. it the way you use it. dont mind what people say.just keep doing what you are doing and i am sure you will get a lot more fish

There is a fishing sale in ALDI on Sunday you can get rod and reel 19:99euro and compare them to the Lidl rod. I might get the bait box for 11:99 there is at least 3 lures in it I would use
