marrajack 1 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have a big birthday on the horizon, and have been lucky enough to get access to some good salmon fishing. I have an entry level rod, but was looking to invest in a new rod. Any suggestions welcome. looking to spend up to £500 on the rod. Good fishing all Quote Link to post

alimac 882 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Used them all, hardy, orvis, bruce and walker, sage etc etc (none of which i own or can afford) but i got a shot a the bosses brothers new hardy to fish the dee a few weeks back, this with a rio spey line, shot the cast out with no effort at all, it was a pleasure to use, nearly as much as it was when it was bent with a fish.. Hardy for me every time Quote Link to post
fin and fur 2 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 If i had £500 to spend on a Salmon rod i would be hammering on the door of Bruce & Walker. They produce rods of varying flex and will be able to advise you of the best rod in their range to suit your style and the type of waters that you fish. all the best fin and fur Quote Link to post
