Thinking of investing in a new fixed spool rod capable of casting 6-7oz with bait and hauling gear out of the rough stuff. Looking at an Ian golds extractor but the money is a bit to much in the current climate and all that
advice on a rough ground/skulldragging rod around €150 ?

advice on a rough ground/skulldragging rod around €150 ?
Hi folks,
Thinking of investing in a new fixed spool rod capable of casting 6-7oz with bait and hauling gear out of the rough stuff. Looking at an Ian golds extractor but the money is a bit to much in the current climate and all that
. Any suggestions appreciated, Cheers

I have one and yes it will pull the bottom up if needed but its rung for multi only. Ive used fixed spool on it a few times but only for short casts for conger.sea serpant wrote:Ask on this has anyone got a penn roughstuff 14ft ya should pick one up 2nd hand for a hundred or less will pull any type of fish out of any ground with ease and rung for fixed spool and multi as far as I can remember

My mate uses a rough stuff multi rod with a fixed spool for all/ most of his fishing.
You should have no trouble with it.

Cheers for the replies folks
I' prefer something rung for fixed spool so I could cast efficiently when needed. I've no interest in going back to multis either, thats why the Ian Gold's extractor F/S is so appealing !

Pity about that,i too was looking for "that" rod a few weeks ago but was told it was sold as well real pity cracking rods.Lugworms rod maybe worth checking out as greys do some decent gear.sailnfish wrote:Decided to push the boat out today and buy the last new extractor available in the country from East Coast but it was sold this morning !!!!!!!!!
