cheapish fly rod?

broke fly rod in door of car :cry: :cry: :cry:

anybody recommend a an 8 -9 weight fly rod stiffer action than normal for a reasonable price?

if you could afford one try a scierra blue water 2, think you could get one from england for about 220e. seen one in cork friday and look a very nice rod,have also heard good reports about the greys rods..

If you're looking for something a bit cheaper but great value check out the Daiwa Wilderness 9'6 9wt - well able to cast big flies in a wind, I have a 10wt on mine and it seems better balanced. Should retail for about 130 euro...

thanks guys

Lumpy €230? this is a use of the word cheap that I was previously unaware of.

:lol:

at the moment I think I'll have to continue with my trout rod.

I have the wilderness rod and it is pretty nice to cast with havent had too many fish on it yet though :? . There is the shakespeare atlantis rod and its pretty cheap http://www.grahamsonline.co.uk/product.php?ID=3057 thats the first site that came up on google. For a cheap rod I hear its pretty good.

i have messed about with the Atlantis and it is a very nice rod for the money. in fact i want one :lol: the fighting handle is a nice touch as well.

as fly rods go thats the cheap end of the scale unfortunately

Shakespeare Trion rods are not so bad and you will pick up an 11ft WF9 for less than 100 yo-yo's.

Airflo tec MT is a nice rod rated for an 8/9 line. Not too much of a pole and casts a decent line. Also under 100 quid.

I'm having loads of fun with a Greys GRXi these days.....
