Hi everybody,
First of all just wanna say, i'm not a tight arse - just struggling on the poor incapacity benfit :-( But...
Is there much need to spend ?80+ on a rod, and much the same for reel etc etc?
I ask because having recently caught the fishing bug i have only been in the position to buy non-branded "cheap" rods/reels and other tackle. Yet so far, with my trusty ?15 Fladen Chieftain match rod, my best fish (carp) @ 4lb 9oz left me feeling like the rod had sooooo much more left in it before i felt i would be in danger of breaking it - if thats possible.
I know you "get what you pay for" but for the pleasure angler is it needed?
Thanks for listening - Let the debate begin
