Reccomend me a rod.
Ive been fortunate enough to have won a one4all voucher the other day and thought after doing some xmas shopping for people I might get myself another rod. Id be using it mainly on clean beaches with the odd rougher session thrown in. Im thinking of spending around €150 depending on how much I've left over after the pressie shopping. Open to all suggestions.

Re: Reccomend me a rod.
i have the 13ft Penn Powerstix Pro and its a fine rod for the money good for clean ground fish and a great cast with light leads.The only down side is if you use a multi the reel seat is fixed so i had to take a half foot off the butt but still a fine rod
