Mullet Rod!

[wilky83]

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good rod for general mullet fishing ??
Thanks!

Have been doing a bit of research on this myself recently as I need one too. Having spoken to a few Mulleters (successful) and surfing the net it seems that a 12ft rod with a TC of between 1.25 and 2.5 is what we need for light tackle (most incl myself are using 4lb braid). The Abu enticer seems to get a few mentions and does not seem overly dear at under 40 quid. There is also a new Firetip Mullet rod at about 60 quid. You could of course go mad and plump for Greys or Imax. I may go for the Abu unless something else turns up in the next few weeks. Still stuck on a reel though......

Stick with a 1.25 tc rod or so.. A 2.5tc is way to much for even harbor fishing when you have to keep fish a way from snags and you would have to use about 30 braid to balance it As for the Imax so called mullet rod More at home banging out spinners for good size pollack Its way OTT wonder if the person who designed it ever fished for mullet

Thanks for that, sort of suspected that was the case and am looking around for a 1.25/1.50 12 footer.
