Dear all,

I cannot afford to buy multiple rods but it seems to me that two rods
would give the best versatility and would ensure that for the smaller
lures I am not trying to cast them with a broom handle.

My idea is to get say a 20 to 60 grams long rod (9 foot) and a 60 to
110 grams short rod (6 to 7 foot).

Most fishing would be river / reservoir from bank or boat.

Does this sound sensible or have a missed something?


A short answer to your question IMHO is NO! Try fishing for small fish. You
Need sensitivity. If you try and catch a Wels, it will rip your arms off
without some give. Decide what your target species is going to be, and
purchase something suitable. Even try a Margin Pole. You can do carp, and
tiddlers, depending on the elastic. That could be a cheaper option.
