rod recomendations

[RL83]

hi all
in the near future im hoping to upgrade my fishing rod as for the past 15yrs ive used the same 12ft shakey europa rod which is still a great rod but i fancy summit a bit newer so im after any suggestions on a beach rod that will be fished at the tyne and places like the groyne and shields pier
for the length im happy with 12ft but dont see a problem going to 13-14ft plus its to be used with a multiplier!
coasters and movable reel seat will be preferd aswell so i can find whats best for me
and the last thing is the price=£50-80 max and thats bought new!
like i said im after some suggestions so when im looking for one i can make
the best choice
obviously theres second hand rods out there that fall under that price tag but preowned so would like suggestions on those aswell
iknow its a bit of a tall order but thats why im asking you guys because its
the best place

Personally if that was my budget I'd be looking for a second hand Greys appolo or Orion. I fish with guys that use both and their spot on and you will pick a one up for around that price.

Try and pick up a second hand axcellerator which shud fall in your price range greys grx-s is another good all round rod also in your budget second hand
Lee skinner has the grx-s of you send him a pm he should be able to tell you more about it last time i spoke to him he rated them very highly

with g,orden, nice rods to fish with and plenty power behind the cast, if

If you can push your budget up slightly for £99 you could get a Penn Powerstick. I bought one a couple of months ago and love it. It's 13ft 4-6oz ,casts further than my other rods and is very lightweight. It can be used with multipliers or fixed spool. Best beach rod I've ever had (and I have had five of them up to now ). You may come across a second hand one if you are lucky.

I have a Penn Powerstick, 15ft 4-6oz I'm selling. Brand new, still in bag.

Just had a thought .... if you have ever bought anything from World Sea Fishing .com so are subscribed to their newsletter they are doing 20% off all rods this week for subscribers (offer ends on Friday) so if you buy it from them you will get it for £80 Penn Powerstix Pro Surf 13ft - Sea Fishing Tackle
