New beachcaster suggestions please? Fox or Greys

Sun Jul 24, 2011 12:17 pm

Morning all,

Just moved to donegal and hoping to really get into my sea fishing, been out a few times and have had some lovely wrasse and pollack with the usual dogfish providing good sport. My goal is to catch some rays and turbot.

Anyway Im on the hunt for a new rod to get distance.. and like the look of the fox frontier shoremaster its 13ft and £104.99, but Im open for suggestions there are also some nice greys rods about. My price would be approx up to £200.

Any suggestions would be really welcome, i would like something to punch out leads up to 6oz, 13-15ft, relatively light, but must have a fairly sensitive tip to see bites...

Thanks in advance..

Keith

Get the golds international match, best rod around for the money. Or try for a 2nd hand rod from the boys on the site. Some1 will help you get the right rod at the right price
