You could also try the Cork angling and outdoor center or landers leisure lines in tralee. Both of these have good deals and landers do have some good quality secondhand rods at times.

Also a bit closer to home is the Waterford Angling and Outdoor center they always have some second hand rods in good condition and at resonable prices.

You will get a very good seccond hand rod for that money.Ring around the tackle shops in the dublin area, the likes of Henrys, viking tackle, or southside all usualy have some good seccond hand rods. Make sure you get somthing that suits you and your casting style no point shelling out on a rod you wont get on with (been there done that)
