I have a 12 - 20lb Ugly Stik boat rod but have been told it will be undergunned for cod and i need a 30lb class rod. Can anyone give an opinion on whether I need to shell out my hard earned cash on a 30lb rod?

Hiya,

depends on how you are fishing for them, that rod will cope with just about anything swiming in UK waters however if you are pirking etc it will be undergunned due to the weight of the terminal gear

We were drifting over a wreck today in seventy metres of water, picking up cod to 16lb. The wreck was huge and snaggy, yet all i used was a very light braid 12-18lb class. With a ten ounce lead it was at it's maximum. You can fish with it, however to be more comfortable, consider moving up to the next class, 20-30 lb. You will also find that instead of a through action with the lighter rod, the next one up would proberbly be tip action with a lot of grunt further down. It was important to us that we bullied the cod away from the wreck, the lighter class rod coped well. You will need a bit of experiance to make it work.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
