Think I'd compromise on the rod mate. Only logic I can give is when I got back into sea fishing about 15 year ago I got a second hand rod advertised in the papers for £15, it was a 13" Milbro err something but was as stiff as a fence post and probably able to pull a hammer head shark in, I could get a canny distance with it using a penn multi.Last edited by g.ordon; 04-07-2011, 09:46 PM. -
The set up is only as strong as the weakest link, so I can't see one working without the other really. No good having the latest Century but your reel handle snaps when trying to retrieve, likewise no good having a 525 if the rod hasn't got the backbone to reel the fish in.Drowning worms since 2007.Comment
