I've decided to have a go at beach fishing and I need advice on choosing a rod. I've already got a SL30SH so I'm OK for a reel, the question is what casting weight should I look at in a rod? I'll be mostly fishing around Humberside and Merseyside for smoothhounds bass and cod in winter.
I've got a few rods in a list(available in local shops and in my price range):
Greys GRX-S rated at 5oz
Leeda Piranha Power rated at 4 to 8oz
Ron Thompson Axellerator rated at 4 to 8oz
I suppose the question is do I go for the slightly lighter Greys rod or will it be undergunned for general surf fishing?
