Versatile rod wanted!
Hi. Relative newbie here. Has anyone tried the Abu enticer pro beach 3 piece? I'm looking for a versatile (& cheap!) rod that will give me a decent casting distance and fits in the boot!

I dunno what your budget is so its hard to reccomend a rod but bass rods are pretty versitile, spinning, fishing in close for flats, bass and out a bit further for other species too

Me and my mate got 2 10ft Abu Enticer for spinning for Mackerel, I got Bass Pollock and tons of Mackerel on it, he got a 8lb bass on his as well Mackerel.,we use it for flats too and it casts 3-6ounce.

Hey Nice fish - what reel did you have on the enticer? I was think of something like a Mitchell Blue 6000 . . . any comments?

I just use an Okuma beachcaster 65 cheap as dirt, and if im spinning i will use my Shimano Technium 4000 not so cheap 155€ in Henrys.
