Hi
Thanks for your replies

I find that a Carp rod does the trick most of the time, especially for
spinning as they're nice and whippy for longer casting. It might not be
strong enough though if you need to lift (biggish) fish out of the water
for any distance, such as from high rocky ledges.

What test curve rod would you suggest?

Keep the tackle light (5lb line, max 1oz lure) and you'll enjoy the sport
more. Even catching mackerel gets quite exciting!

I hope to catch anything to be honest so catching mackerel would be
very exciting to me !!!

Cheers
