Report: Went out today with Mark to try out his new Lidl rod and reel. we went to Balscadden for a bit of mack bashing,after a few hours we had enough not a Mackerel in sight. We moved to another spot where Mark fished years ago after a bit of mountaineering we were up and running again. I blanked again but Mark christened his new Lidl rod with a double of small Pollock Great to get out fishing again and the sun even came out we will be back again with bait and catch a nice 5lb pollock
great to see the Lidl rod catching fish after all the bad press the got,hard luck on the blank nicefish should be good fun with a 5lb pollack on the Lidl rod,cant wait to see it

There is a fishing sale in ALDI on Sunday you can get rod and reel 19:99euro and compare them to the Lidl rod. I might get the bait box for 11:99 there is at least 3 lures in it I would use
