Hi
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice of rods.
I do most of my fishing from the Brighton marina wall, typically the type of fish I'm after is mackerel (on feathers/float), bass (lures), flatfish (bottom fishing), maybe bream. I might also try off the beach.
I've got a rod for spinning up to 60g but I want a beachcasting rod. A potential rod is the Abu Garcia Esprit Beachmaster Fixed Spool but the cw for that is 4-8 oz. I'm not wanting (I think) to ever use more than 8 oz but the lower weight bothers me. I'd have thought most of the time I would be using weights less than that e.g. when using feathers and maybe bottom fishing. Does this matter? Any advice on this rod or other rods very much appreciated.
