I plan on getting a new spinning rod as my current one is pretty useless. It will only cast 28gr lures for some reason even though the stated casting weight is 20 to 80 or something like that. It was cheap and I thought it would do the job but it just doesn't cut the mustard. Its a Ron Thomson Dialex by the way.
I want a better rod and will mostly be spinning in wicklow for bass. Any suggestions? I think I would spend €100 max.
Thanks in advance

Thanks, they have that rod at the bottom or this page: https://www.veals.co.uk/acatalog/Spinning.html
10 foot sold out so only 9 or 11, should i wait for a 10 foot or will one of the other do the job?
