morning pillieg,

it depends on where you're going to fishing and what you're going to be fishing for.

cheers,

thanks will look into the procast, is that a good enough to keep as a second rod if my dad decides he's not into it?

Hi Devlin,

Just looking for a good all rounder.

any suggestions ?

[dizzy]

Yip, my brother fishes with one on the Vaal every weekend, so I dont see why it can't double as a second rod.

yeh, the procast is ok, but i'd have a look at the explorer classic series, some of the kingfisher rods are also pretty good beginner rods, as are the stealth rods. i don't think you'll go wrong with any of those.

there was another thread on the kingfisher rods. i'll see if i can find it for you

look here for info on the kingfisher rods

I think the Stealth rods are great value for money and a great backup rod for yourself. I recon a 5/6 weight can be used for most types of fishing.

i agree with honda2 a 5/6 will cover a large section of your fishing requirements
cheers
