BEST ROD FOR PRAWNING/SHRIMPING?

[teknystoddy 0]

I fancy buying a new rod for prawning/shrimping for Salmon this season as my spinning rod isnt sensitive enough, also fancy using it for spinning for Pollack in the summer. I was just wondering what your favourites are? Ta.

how much you willing to pay ?

If want a decent, sensitive, lite in weight rod then check out the GRX Spinning Rod made by Greys it comes in 9ft and 10ft.

The cheapest i've seen them for is £55.99 and thats with a lifetime warranty.

Shakespear ugly stik lite 10ft spin. Agreat allrounder.

If its worming/prawning why not think about a diawa porky pig in 13foot. plenty of reach and plenty of grunt with this rod

I use a John Wilson 11ft avon rod for my bait fishing its landed sea trout up to 13lb and salmon up to 9lb.

Cheers

Im quite happy to pay up to about £150 if its value for money. I'm using a Diawa Whisker Spin at the moment, good rod but it is quite a solid action.

 

Has anyone used the Greyflex Bait rod?

 

Cheers for the replies so far.

never used the greyflex but have had a go of my mates worming rod made on a harrison blank by a professional rod builder

cost less than 150 all in

ask dave lumb to build you one he'll know which blank you mean or harrisons will

for worm and prawn you'll need a longer rod ,something about 12-13 foot.

one of the best ive had is the greys prodigy specialist. comes with two top tips

at 1.25 and 1.75 tc good for float or feeder,carp,light pike,salmon and bass, dont think youd go wrong

with this one cover every thing you may need.

no good for throwing a six oz lead 150 yards on a rock mark though, but as an allrounder cant fault it

about £100 and with a life time warrenty

I like the look of that porky pig, but you cant beat that greys lifetime warranty. I cracked a joint on my greyflex m2 last season, sent the whole lot away and it was back in 2 weeks, like new. No probs.

 

Still time to make a decision yet.

longer the better, 12 or 13 ft, gives you so much more control over your bait
