Good Rod and Reel for not massive money

#1 Post by shortcircuit »

Hey folks, just getting back into sea fishing my biggest issue is I don't have a decent beachcaster and reel, would be willling to spend up to 100 on the lot.


Anyone got any recommendations for me. I reckon I won't want to cast anything more than 6oz. Never used a multiplier so I reckon if anyone could recommend a nice fixed spool for me that would be great. Based in Cork.

Cheers guys,
