    Light lure rod ?

    What with Duty, VAT and carriage, I don't reckon you're gonna have much change out of 80 quid.... and you're gonna have to wait a while.

    Can't believe the PS is gonna be that much better than an Abu Suveran or Daiwa Samurai which you can still get for 50 quid~ish. I've never used the Shimano one so I can't comment.

    We'll see and I'm sure you'll be telling us about the PS.

    I have a couple of Croix jobbies for my jerk bait fishing etc :cool:

    You might wanna have a look at one of the new Okumas http://www.okumafishing.com/ Light, right retrieve ratio and not a ripoff

    Dont forget gearing ratio is only one factor; spool diameter/circumference is the other. What I go by is the actual rate of line retrieve (ratio x spool circumference)

    Generally I find a small spool plus a gear ratio of around 5:1 or less is best for me anyway; I find the Shimano's 6:1 etc is too high for lure fishing, my sort anyway.

    I agree with Steve Burke on this one (though it sticks in my throat to do it)that a slow retreive is an advantage a lot of times and it's no good just saying turn the 'king handle slower! It's not that easy. There seems to be a natural rate to turn the handle.

    Good luck!

    WARMWELL TOURING PARK

    I bit more of an address would have been helpful!

    I guess you mean the Warmwell near Dorchester

    Personally I'd get a day-ticket on Pallington Lake or another of the lakes nearby

    Depends what you're after though

    The Stour isn't too far away either

    And then there's some bassing if you're into sea-fishing

    Take your pick!
