starting out
lots of people spend way too much, you should be able to get a perfectly servicable rod/reel for £50 ish i have about 4 rods and reels and dont think i paid over £35 for any item.
i really do not see the point in spending big money unless its for beach casting and you are seriously good at casting.
OKUMA do reels at less than £30 (catalina and diezel range) and RON THOMPSON has boat rods for as little as £11!
although ia better deal is usually to buy a package such as the MUSTAD (viking) package at between £65 and £85 depending on spec
