An all-round beachcaster/reel combo for under€75?

Postby Tackleholic » Tue Dec 10, 2013 10:25 pm

Hi folks.
I'm looking to get my hands on a beachcaster/fixed-spool reel combo for €75 or less. No bigger than 12ft rod for pier, rock and beach fishing. I've been using a Shakespeare tidewater 10ft pier rod with a Shakespeare Odyssey fixed spool reel and have had no complaints. Would like to fish a similar second rod with a better cast to fish further out. Any suggestions on reasonably priced makes would be appreciated.
Yours gratefully.

Looking at website now, they're reduced to €17! No harm putting the rest of the money towards a decent reel. Thanks for suggestion
