how much ya willing to spend?? i mean something like the 3 piece penn powerstix is 15ft long and quite a pleasant rod to fish with and can be found in some irish tackle shops at about 90 euro. I realise that thats cheap for some people and not for others but i believe its well worth waiting a lil bit longer to get a decent rod....

Hi Coddinya

I know you say the funds are tight at the moment, but if its possible you should stick a few bob away whenever you get your money, this way you will be able to get a decent rod that will serve you well and give you a great deal of pleasure over the years,

Rather then rush out to buy a cheap rod that wont do what you want of it, I would suffer on with what I have until I had the cash to get what’s needed for your style of fishing,

I bought a second hand rod to add to the collection that would have cost ,€400 new, I got it for €80, had to replace 3 guides and enjoy using this rod more then some of the rods that I paid a lot more money for when new,

Keep your eye on the tackle for sale on this site your sure to get what you need for a lot less then you think,
