Lure rod for soft plastics

#1 Post by cod chaser »

Hi lads looking to buy a new lure rod for soft plastic fishing. Will spend about €50 so trying to get a 15 or 20g 8' rod. Will also match it to a 2500 size reel. Anybody got a rod in mind that would suit ? Cheers

The Tronix rockfish rod is good I have the 7 g to 28g very good rod for money, the surecatch rod is good aswell I have 6ft version for boat very powerful rod and very light there is a 7ft version aswell but you might find it hard to get one.best of luck deciding a lot of quality rods around now and don't get caught up in expensive is better.
