General Purpose Shore Rod

#1 Post by nobuzz »

Guys,

If you were choosing one rod for all your shore fishing (Beach, rocks & pier) what would it be?

I'm thinking of up-grading.

i don't think i could! i would have three for the beach,one for heavy duty work on rocks,and i would use a mixture of those for the pier. but if i had to choose one rod,it would be my ian golds premier match.but i would not want to use this for the rocky ground marks.

For all round work? Maybe the big Sonik SK3? It casts well, is stiff where it needs to be, yet picks up bits very well....

£120 like... couldn't be bad to that.
