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

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.

The beach rod they sell in woodies isn half bad for the price its twelve foot long and is about thirty quid i think to buy ya could get a cheap reel to go with it ... It be hard to find a rod and reel for that price in a tackle shop

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