Light summer rod any ideas ????

[RossW]

If you're fishing really light in the summer, cheap rods are fine. In fact, in my opinion, they can be even more fun because they bend so much. I got a Greys BZE 3oz rod for £100 a few years back to use for flatties off the beach in the summer. It's ok, but have found that a cheap Capalan telescopic (£29.99) from Decathlon Shop is much more sporting for the same job - better sensitivity and it bends double under the weight of a 1lb flounder.....
