i wanna get a couple of new rods but not spend a fortune. can anyone recomend a decent cheapish rod?? about ?50-?100 per..

Cheers peeps!

The new JRC LM's.
12' 2.5lb, through action.
If you don't need to cast more than 80 to 100yds, then they are an absolute belter.

?29.99 each.

so dya reckon there of the same calibre rods as something like a beast master then? my mates got some of them and there pretty nice rods for the price! i've currnetly got some cheapo ones that cost me ?30 a piece and i want some with a nice all through action

i have got a pair of the new 2.5lb tc shimano nexaves and i am very pleased with them, light, good action and very slim. I also have 2 3lb greys prodigys and they are nice rods as well.

William Foxall · Oct 14, 2004

got me a pair of warriors, no complaints here.

Big Rik · Oct 14, 2004

I would say that most people overlook the JRC's in the shops because they think they are much dearer.
The fittings aren't fuji, so the price has been kept right down.
I'd seriously suggest that you take a look before buying anything.

also checkout the Rangemaster II rods, i bought mine at harrisonstackle.com for 64? and if you live in UK, i belive it's free delivery.

ive got two warriors in 2.75tc, cant fault them. but if you want cheaper like jrc,s lm 2.5lb tc rods get the uk carp mag insde the angling times, (oct 19-issue 16) as they have done a tackle review on them. hope this helps..

Big Rik · Oct 20, 2004

and what did they say?
(not that we've ever seen a bad review in AT)

Note to Richard Lee... stop sucking up to your advertisers, get some real reviews in place.

Ian Michaelwaite · Oct 21, 2004

I'm hunting around for a couple of 2.75lb ers. What do you guys think of the rod/reel combo deals, or is it best to pick and choose for better quality/value? This looks a good deal https://www.bosfish.co.uk/PRODUCTS/outfits/kn897carp.htm ?

i got me a couple of zebco topics rod and reel combos ?65. 2.5tc i was pleasantly surprised.

I brought my son two Fox warriors was so impressed got him the landing net marker and spod rod, he has a pukka little set-up and one I for one would not be ashamed to use. mind you keep it to your self because if he finds out he will want to swap with my gear.

Why do they have to call these rods the most f.....g stupid names?

TonyO2 · Dec 13, 2004

Hello Rik...can i confirm that you recomendation for the JRC LM rod still holds?....i havent seen anyone using them on the bank yet....but have seen some excellent feedback for them on other forums.
Have you managed to try them out, some hands on feedback would be most appreciated.

Big Rik · Dec 13, 2004

no, just look as good as anything else at twice the price.
I've bent them in half in the shop and they didn't break.

Note:
There is a difference in recommending general rods at ?30 than rods at ?150 for a specific water or task.

TonyO2 · Dec 13, 2004

Cheers Rik...due to financial reasons i have had to let go of a lot of my tackle, and the price of these rods is very appealing if they are even half decent.

"Why do they have to call these rods the most f.....g stupid names?"

errr so we know what ones are what !

Ian Michaelwaite · Dec 14, 2004

I picked up a couple of Outlaw XS 2.75lb for ?40 each the other day. They have a very nice feel to them, but I haven't used them on the bank yet.

Bully · Dec 14, 2004

Cheers peeps!?

?..and it is all sweetness and light !

Whats the difference ??

Ian Michaelwaite · Dec 14, 2004

By my reckoning, around ?100 per rod. The point I think is that if you are going to pay ?150+ for a stick, then you should at least try it out before parting with the cash.

The same rules apply for lower cost rods, but surely the point of spending a large amount of money on a rod is that it offers an almost made to measure feel for the angler, otherwise there isn't that much point in having it?
