a new beachcaster ???

[kela66]

this is my 1st year sea fishing and when i started i bought a shakespear powerplay beach caster i was happy with it but i have been using my spinning rod & flattie rod over the "summer" & im now looking forward to winter fishing for cod ,after reading the new sea angler mag feature on the new sonic range of rods do you think its worth shelling out on the new 13ft mixed ground, fixed spool / multiplier rod for about £100.00 and using the powerplay as a 2nd rod the if so what advantages would i see with this new rod ?? any comments most welcome . cheers davey

It's always handy to have a second rod even if you only fish with one but only you yourself can answer your own question as to if it's worth it or not.

Personally, I would stick with the rod you have and stash the £100 because I think this time next year you'll be wanting to upgrade again and the next year and so on. In other words, just keep saving untill you have enough for something decent that will last you a long time instead of upgrading bit by bit and having reduntant rods as your experience grows

You can buy a really good rod for a £100 mate even if its second hand. Diawa do the sandstorm range for the same price if you want new and they aint bad, but personally I'd go for a second hand one.

Sonik rods look and sound good mate. Plus a life time warranty you can't go wrong even if you do want a better rod in a year or so.

Kela...second hand rods are a good way of upgrading without having to blow the bank...I got a second from Billys In North shields last year for £100
