RussBoy 77 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Looking to buy a spinning rod mainly for trout on the river and anything else that may pop up, heard varied reviews on them and wondered what you folks thought? Quote Link to post
BIGLURKS 874 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't waist ŷour money mate you can pick up a cheap enuf road for 40 quid maybe cheaper Quote Link to post
jonnie bravo 572 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't think I've ever come across a telescopic rod that was ok, other than a 15ft grauvell beachcaster that only compacted down to 4ft anyway! A standard 6ft 4 piece spinning rod compacts down to very little, they travel very well. I've been eyeing up some cheap ones on sovereign superbaits website that will probably be up your street Quote Link to post
RussBoy 77 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thought that mate. What would I be asking for if I went into a shop. Wanting it for brown trout an sea trout maybe odd salmon an pike? It's all kind of new to me as only used cheapos as a lad. Quote Link to post

jonnie bravo 572 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Something that will throw up to 30g will probably do a good all round job, the lighter you go the more fun you will have with the smaller fish Quote Link to post
