Postby lad123 » Mon Feb 03, 2014 7:15 pm

Can anybody recommend a good 15ft rod and fixed spool reel that would be good for distance casting .... thanks
I will be using it for smoothound and bass in the summer

No need for a 15 ft rod a good 13 ft with a bit of back bone is all you need and a good strong reel
