Do you know of any all round decent rods?

Question

i want a good rod that is good for everything

Answer 1

There is no way that you can have an all-round rod. Each discipline of sea fishing require various techniques and differing strengths. You can't use a light spinning rod for wrecking for conger eel, nor would a heavy boat rod be suitable for beach casting.

At the least you need 2 maybe 3 rods.

A beachcaster - 12ft 5-6oz casting weight - Good enough for pier work too

A boat rod - 6-7ft 20-30lb class

I would go for a lighter rod too like a 2lb test curve carp rod for pier work, light estuary, spinning and float fishing.

Don't forget that you will need the reels to accompany these rods too.

Answer 2

depnds on what fishing you do Sea course fly ?

Answer 3

Beachcaster will serve you for pier,beach and boat fishing.

Answer 4

You can't go wrong with an Ugly Stik.  They have many different types of rods for all different kinds of fishing.  I'd get a 6' medium/light action rod for all around fishing.  You can't go wrong just starting out.  Equip that with an affordable Shimano reel, and you are ready to fish.  

But then again, I have a different rod and reel set up for each type of fishing I do.  

Good Luck!  Happy Fishing.

It seems you're in the UK, try the greys Apollo M2, great for rough ground fishing, add either  a Penn 525 mag or an abu 7000 and you've got a great combo.
