Rod Recommendations - Beach Caster

#1 Post by Mayorga »

Hi guys iam in the market for a beach caster generally light ground will be fished i already have the Abu Suveran Rx but dont find it a great rod for casting i was looking at the penn power stick 13 foot rod as a possibility. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few rods with good distance casting for fixed spool reels for 150 euro down.

Thanks

the penn power stix pro 15ft is definitly worth looking at for a fixed spool user, my mate bought one for 99.99 in henrys tackle and hasnt look back very impressive indeed :wink:

MYSELF AND MY FISHING BUDDY BOTH USE PENN POWERSTICKS 13FT (ALTHOUGH THEY ARE THE MULTIPLIER VERSION) CAN'T FAULT THEM ESPECIALLY WITH LIGHTER LEADS. GOOD BITE DETECTION AND NOT TOO HEAVY IN THE HAND. ALSO FITTINGS ARE QUALITY AND ROBUST. VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE PRICE. ALSO WORTH HAVING A LOOK AT THE SHAKESPEARE SALT RANGE IN THE SAME PRICE BRACKET.
