Any recommendations for a general purpose beachcaster, ringed for
fixed-spool, about 100 quid, capable of handling off-the-ground with
5/6oz? It would be nice if it could pull a bit more distance out with a
full pendulum, but I hardly ever feel the need.

Hi, i would recommend the daiwa sandstorm for that price.Very nice rod.

Yes, I was looking at those. I like Daiwa, I've been really pleased with
their kit in the past. I quite fancy the Supercast STS 13F, though,
little bit more expensive at about £140. Well, 40% more expensive, I
suppose, but not a massive difference.

Worth it, do you think? Anyone got one of these?

The Supercast range was road tested in Sea Angler mag last year and came out
well reported, both F.S and multi, models although only the 12fts were on
test.
Boughr a Longbeam - and well satisfied and a K2 16ft.
Brilliant off the ground when you get used to the extra negatibe leverage
effect inflicted by the weight.
No good in windy weather though - still looking for a 10ft rod rest.
