for a good entry level rod, any of the shakespere salt range,very good rods, roughly around the 70-90euros, I presume you want a fixed spool reel,a cheap option is the leeda ocean roar,about 35euros and worked fine for me until i switched over to multipliers,and it got a lot of abuse :oops: But you would be better off taking up golf,lot cheaper in the long run cause if you get hooked on this fishing mullarkey it will cost you thousands!!!!! :D
