well, im pretty new to sea fishing as im a fly fisherman by trade but really enjoy this sea sea fishingand want to get a bit more serious about it.I have j a starter outfit which was pretty cheap and really heavy!!, but does the job.Im looking to upgrade my gear and want something decent but not too expensive ....Im looking for a 12-14 ft blank and probably a new reel.Im not used to multipliers butwould appreciate any advice on the above .....cheers
 
depends on where you are fishing m8 , rock marks. piers or sandy beeches .
if you havent used a multiplier before try to borrow one first to see if you can get away with one. and how much do you want to spend ,i have a bullet and would not part with it ,i have penn mags as well but i am getting a sl30h next week as i had one before and loved it for fishing .im sure the other lads and lasses will help you as well .
 
mainly beach and mixed

thanks , i was thinking of getting a mid of range abu garcia 14ft 4-6 oz but havent a clue when it comes to reels ..
 
The slosh range gives great value for money as well as great gear ,I've got Abu reels as well ,7000 and 7500 ,oh and Penn reels ,hang on I hope our lass isn't reading this , I'd go for SL20 for beach work and the SL30 for the rough stuff I'm sure they're around £65 each now.
 
Hi Sonny,

I use a Greys Orion 13ft with a sl30h and 30lb line straight through for fishing off the rocks and I have just ordered a sl20h to use with 20lb line on the beaches.

The sl30h is very well built and I have had no problem with it and I wouldn't expect anything different with the sl20h.

I ordered my from http://www.poingdestres.co.uk/ and it was £69.99 with £5.00 next day delivery. I have seen them for £65.00 somewhere but couldn't find the ad. If you order anything online, watch the delivery cost because some companies take the pi$$ and it puts the price up quite a bit.

regards

Stu

thanks a lot guys , thats really helpful !!

will look at the slosh range
might buy a greys 13-14ft as come with lifetime guarentee which you cant knock really.anything will make a massive difference to he stick im using at the mo....

ps my lass isnt looking at this,lol,although if she was it woul read like russian to her
 
wouldn't use an orion on the rocks as its a beach rod ..not much backbone ..good rod for the beaches though and at that price worth a look ..if your after a cheapish rock rod the ron thompson accelorator is around the 95-100 quid mark and will pull fish and anything else through kelp a lot easier the original slosh's are good reels and good value for money .
