Your first rod and reel!!

[Pete from shields]

First rod and reel I got was 20 odd years ago and can't for the life of me remember what they was called. After that 20 odd year break my starter rod was a Salt long surf rod and shimano aerlex 8000XS reel.

first beachcaster rod was a milbro 12ft bought at robinsons tackle shop on percy street with a mitchel 600p multi when i was 18 the rod is still used and so to the reel only had to buy a new spool cause i burst it using it on a boat trip still casts as good as ever not bad as i am now 52
have bought new gear over the last two or three year but still give the old gear the odd day out
