Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I have this rod, an abu 464 rated 3-8oz, 11.5 feet I think. It's about 20 years old (got it from an uncle) and it's still in pretty much perfect condition. It was top of the range and would have cost a fair bit of money in its day I think.
Anyway, it's the rod I use for a lot of my beach work but I am just wondering how it compares to rods of today. I have not much knowledge on this subject at all.
It was my birthday recently (17) so was thinking of buying a new rod. Would it be worth it?
I'd like to spend around £60 - 100, for that money could I get much better than the abu? My main priority would be being able to get a decent cast easily enough, can only get about 60/70yds with abu, (but thats me others could probably do better) and also reasonable bite detection.
Any help or info at all would be great,
col
