If you lads had a tight budget of say £60 ....what rod would you buy for rainbow trout fishing

Have a look at the airflo range. good value.a 10' for a 7# should be fine for throwing lures.

I just ordered a trion xt, not wiggled it yet. £40

ebay or Lureflash viper

Wychwood truefly 9 1/2 ft 6/7 wt

Wychwood Truefly Fly Rod

Shakespeare Trion XT 10ft 6WT, from John Norris or Fulling Mill Gold 10ft 6wt from Tacklebargains, both £51 plus postage.

Both will do well, with the Trion maybe just ahead in response and a little more delicate but the Gold will also handle a 7wt line as well without any problems.
