Thanks!

Have been doing a bit of research on this myself recently as I need one too. Having spoken to a few Mulleters (successful) and surfing the net it seems that a 12ft rod with a TC of between 1.25 and 2.5 is what we need for light tackle (most incl myself are using 4lb braid). The Abu enticer seems to get a few mentions and does not seem overly dear at under 40 quid. There is also a new Firetip Mullet rod at about 60 quid. You could of course go mad and plump for Greys or Imax. I may go for the Abu unless something else turns up in the next few weeks. Still stuck on a reel though...... :roll:

Stick with a 1.25 tc rod or so.. A 2.5tc is way to much for even harbor fishing when you have to keep fish a way from snags and you would have to use about 30 braid to balance it :!: As for the Imax so called mullet rod :roll: :roll: :roll: More at home banging out spinners for good size pollack :lol: Its way OTT wonder if the person who designed it ever fished for mullet :?:

Thanks for that, sort of suspected that was the case and am looking around for a 1.25/1.50 12 footer. :?
