Mitchell challenge pro surf long beach rod

#1 Post by POC »

found some 15/16.5ft mitchell rods at what seem like very very reasonable price - £28.95. i'm looking to try a long beach rod and am wondering if these are worth a try for the money??

dont waste your money poc,
the mate also thought he was getting a bargain with them rods, so he got two.

Thanks for the advice lads. I'll push the budget up another whack and get something more reliable
