Without doubt the new Shakespeares, 14-15 & 16 feet of quality and performance.
Have a look at one, up there with all the BIG names now but not at big name
prices. Downside, if you can call it that, they're designed for fixed spool
reels but will handle a multiplier. With a good F/S reel and light line they'll
put a bait out of sight with an overhead thump. Some of the England shore team
used them in Portugal to win gold. They beat the continentals at their own game
on their home patch. Awesome. Cheers, Norman.

I've just bought a Brian Meades Beach Flyer, by Conoflex, and it's the best
all round rod for light fishing I've ever had. Rated at 2oz - 5oz its light
and responsive, serious bait detection and good for about 180yrds. A magic
bit of kit.

Chees,

Bob Hewitt

must admit, I do like my original tip tornado (12ft, 4 to 6 oz)
but I am impressed with some of the shakespeare rods, the Atlantic
immediately comes to mind.
also the Abu conolon is another i like.
