Rod reccomendation.
Submitted by garethgkr on Sat, 2010-01-09 22:44
Hey there.
Im currently looking for a rod+reel to be used at rocky areas like North Mole. Looking for something to cast far and strong for what ever encounters. Targeting mainly tailors and occasional snapper with the rod. Kind of on a budget around $150 better if less. Recently bought a 12ft surf, pain in the butt using at North Mole... fell twice using it yesterday at North Mole.
Any recommendations?
PS: If anyone wants to sell theirs, I wouldn't mind buying it.
Thanks!

oh, sorry
didn't see rod and reel.
Do you have a reel you could use on it? $150 isn't going to get you much of a combo.....

If it is possible what about courier/post? I pay for it. And bank transfer the money to your bank account online.
