Tried 3 different branches today looking for one of their £19.99 beachcaster combos

All sold out :evil: :evil: :evil:

you were lucky - the multi-x beach combo they were selling is a complete crock (there's a post somewhere with a pic where i broke one). one of the specialist kits would be a better buy.

it's the Lidl B-Square Surf Kit you want. great buy. know a couple of people who have it and they're happy with it too. i've been slaughtering fish left, right and centre with it. great ROI. bizzarely it's ringed in a way that will work for mutlipliers too. watch out for my review of it soon...

i must rollout that greenshield stamps rod i got in 1976. caught buckets loads of mackerel and pollock with it. i'll see if i can haul a bass with it before the end of the season.

disclosure: I am not in the business of selling rods in a shop. so i don't give a f*ck.

How many more times are you going to shove this crap down our throats?

those rods are cheap for a reason. they're utter rubbish. sure they catch fish, but ive done that with a stick and a bit of line.

save yourself some money in the long run and go and buy a decent rod from your local tackle shop folks.

not everyone has the money to splash out for a decent rod,the cheap rod are handy for someone who is new to sea fishing and wants to try it out
i started with a beach caster and reel that i bought for 40 euro when i knew i liked the sea fishing i bought some decent rods
i bought the Lidl multi-x beach combo for a bit of fun,knowing that the rod could break at any time just adds to the fun,you have to play the fish and it gives the fish a better chance
with the decent rod you can just pull the fish in

i see in the local super market pollack selling for over 13 euro a kg and for 25 euro for everything you need to fish all you have to do is catch 2 kg of pollack and your rod is paid for,you cant go wrong

After reading brow79 post last week on what he did to his very expensive spinning rod I agree. My mate asked me to get him a rod out of Lidl he wants to give this fishing lark a go, it only cost him 25euro. I started fishing last summer and paid 90euro for rod reel to start me mack bashing the reel lasting three outings :( and I was only using the three feathers not 5 or six :twisted:.So if my mate likes the fishing he can upgrade his reel to a Shakespeare Mustang ZFS-70 cost 19:99st :P

bought 2 of the boat packages for my kids at least if its dropped overboard its not one of my
ambasseduers so thats why i went to lidl and not to the tackle shop it makes good sense to start off with the cheapest i seen guys break the best of gear
