13ft Beachcaster

[Puggy]

Im after a half decent beachcaster, around 13ft and the £100-£150 price range.

 

I recently brought an abu 6500 high speed mag and using it on an old 12ft abu rod which just dont quite seem to be up to the job. Ive looked at a daiwa sandstorm but id really like an abu rod to go with the reel So you thoughts on a rod would be much appreciated as ive not come across much.

Try the Daiwa Sandstorm £90-£100, probably best 13ft buy at the moment, worth trying one as rods are very personal, not one size fits all, like reels. ABU Suveran is another good one, bit pricier, or a Shakespeare K2, possibly get one for £150 if you're very lucky.

Have you thought of buying second hand? I have surplus sea fising gear available.

 

i.e. ZZiplex and Abu 6500 reels some of which have been mag converted.

Rough or clean ground fishing ?

 

Clean ground = ABU Suveran SX (sweeeeeet)

 

Going fast

I didnt really think about a second hand road, but i suppose if the right one came up then id snap it up.

 

Will be used for clean ground fishing.

 

And i like the look of them ABU Suveran. Do tackle shops let you try before you buy, would be nice

I think Lagoon bait and tackle at Hove do.
