Greys Beachcaster rod advice

[BoldBear]

I am a coarse angler who has decided to venture onto the dark side and start doing some fishing from the beach (next to where I have just bought a static caravan) LOL. But knowing very little about beach casting rods I was hoping for a little help.

 

I know that Greys make decent coarse and fly rods but can anyone tell me what the entry level 'Greys 13ft beachcaster rods' are like? I was looking at the basic £109 rod; are Greys beachcasters OK? Or should I look at another rod manufacturer?

 

Thanks in advance

What marks do you intend to fish,

Rocky

Rough bottom

Sandy bottom

 

Bearing in mind Greys rod carry a life time gaurantee. If its just a dabble, why buy an expensive rod. Greys rods IMHO are a class product. But thats my personal choice.

Why not pop into the local tackle shop and try one out, feel it and get the " feel of it " to see if it suits you. Personally i have always used Century rods, or Zziplex, both excellent rods, but can be pricey.

 

Greys GRX-S SHORE ROD Try the link, rod for £98.99 until the end of the month

Hi Andrew,

 

The beach is sand and shingle between some large man made rocky outcrops on a fairly steep and deepish beach. I heard from a local that there are quite a lot of Bass and other fish caught close to the rocks so very long casts are not really needed.

This stretch is also known for Skate & Dogfish which are very occasionally hooked from the beach.

 

Since I posted asking for advice on Rods; the wife had already ordered a couple of rods for my son and I without telling us; because she wanted it to be a surprise; and she ordered us a pair of Greys GRX-S Shore rods LOL..

Good choice, nice for Bassing from the beach.

 

Have fun, but most of all BE SAFE.

 

Have a look online for some good bass advise. Ragworm baits, Bass seem to love em.
