The fladen charter rod is a load of crap,i got my one for 30 euro at the fishing expo in dublin.The rod is heavy and it is also as stiff as a poker,very little compresion which means very little distance.having said all that i would recomend it for use as a harbour rod etc.

if you have bought it already, then dont let this put you off, it will get you going and wont cost the earth
if you are thinking about buying a new rod and reel, what is your budget??

If its a budget rod your after, you would do a hell of a lot worse than an Abu Garcia Enticer beachcaster, I think you can pick them up for 70-80 euro or so. I have one I use regularly myself, its nice and light but also quite poky and I have given it serious abuse over the 3 years I have owned it without problems.

penn powerstix come as a combo or some dealers selling the rod seperate i recently bought the 15ft for £49.99 from southend angling center very freindly service and p+p only £8 which makes a change as we usually get ripped off by mainland uk tackle shops . a good rod which is rung for fixed spool + multiplier so it is suitable for when you progress to a multiplier
