80-90 euro per rod and reel puts you in the second hand market for anything decent mate. Let me have a look in my shed and get back to you.... :D I dont really use standard boat gear myself so should have something around that may suit.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D
