pair these together and you should have a set up that will suit you and still have about €80 left over.
i love the rod, one spot i fish is full of doggies but is very snaggy for the 1st 50 yards and it has no problems hauling 2 of them thru the snags. wouldnt recommend it as a rod for flattys tho, bite detection isnt bad, but its not brilliant.

Have to agree with Red on this one i have a ruff stuff matched up to a penn 525mag extra, great rod and reel, the one bit of advice is as it happened to me if you are only starting off using a multi reel get a cheap one to start off with, i think i got a ron thompson for 50 squid to start, to be fair it took some abuse and by the time i was used to casting with the multi it was a bit worse for wear,
