I used to fish a year or so ago but i havent been for a long time , im a 15 year old lad and i dont really now that much but my dad used to fish at my age and when he comes im sorted because he knows the basics ( enough to start me of )
Anyway , i used to have a farily decent rod i bought of a friend of the family but unfortunatly that got snapped in my garage ( never let a hyper 6 year old in your garage when you have fishing gear in their ! ) Anyway as its approaching christmas and i thought id ask mum & dad to buy me a rod and they agreed , obviously not going to go crazy and spend £100's on a new rod i was looking at the £20-40 mark.
I already have a small whip (2-3 meters) that i used for this specific spot but i would like a new rod to use , im not looking for any thing amazing just something decent enough for my particular use , which will most probably be a section of the river a few miles away from me ( £5 a year for juniors is a pretty decent deal ) Im looking for a decent enough rod to use for coarse fishing , im not a fan of poles as im pretty weak and its uncomfortable for my arms and legs , im really going to target your ' average ' size fish (bream,chub,perch etc ... ) so obviously a carp rod wouldnt really meet what i would like.
I already have gear than your average begginer ( got a lot of it cheap and free from friends and closing down sales etc .. ) i have a seat box , landing net , unhooking mat and all of the littler things ( hooks,weights etc .. )
Ill also be needing a new reel ( again the 6 year old cousing broke it ) so all in all for the rod and reel id be maybe looking to spend £40-60
Any suggestions welcome
Thanks
