New beachcaster suggestions please? Fox or Greys
Morning all,
Just moved to donegal and hoping to really get into my sea fishing, been out a few times and have had some lovely wrasse and pollack with the usual dogfish providing good sport. My goal is to catch some rays and turbot.
Anyway Im on the hunt for a new rod to get distance.. and like the look of the fox frontier shoremaster its 13ft and £104.99, but Im open for suggestions there are also some nice greys rods about. My price would be approx up to £200.
http://www.fishingmegastore.com/fox-fro ... ~7819.html
Any suggestions would be really welcome, i would like something to punch out leads up to 6oz, 13-15ft, relatively light, but must have a fairly sensitive tip to see bites...
Thanks in advance..
Keith

Re: New beachcaster suggestions please? Fox or Greys
i think the answer is neither
you wont find a better rod for 200 yo yos than the golds ,unless you pick up something second hand for the right money!

Get the golds international match, best rod around for the money. Or try for a 2nd hand rod from the boys on the site. Some1 will help you get the right rod at the right price
