Hi guys

So the script is I'm looking to get a rod and reel for around the 250 mark and if anyone can give some suggestions and where to go for the best deal that would be appreciated.

Greys, Sharpes and any others that might fit the bill - looking to aquire a 10 footer or 11.

Fairly new to the game but I'm coming along nicely so any comments will be acted upon.

Cheers

Dave

In that price range the Grey's X-Flite might be a good starting point for the rod.

it really depends on what type of fishing you are doing and what action of rod you are best suited to. 10/11 ft boat fishing??

they trade guys will kit you out for 250 no prob
check trade guys out on forum
loads of offers at this hard time of year for thetrade guys

Mate have a look at Orvis Western 3 and Orvis Rocky Mountain reel.

There's some great offers on Demons at the moment, you should be able to pick one up with a real inside your budget.

Happy shopping

Andy

Many thanks for all the quick replys!!!!

I'll mainly be hitting the fisheries - my new haunt is Fenwick just outside Glasgow and I've well and truly got the bug!! I'll keep posted for the majority votes but thanks again guys - Knowledge from you all is appreciated!!

Give Grommit a PM, he will probably be able to do a Greys G-tec for around that price, i bought one from him recently, great rod, great service, nice fella.

If you are just going to small fisheries 10/11 foot is a bit large ,why dont you try and get a cast of a nine foot five weight i think you will be surprised ,i think a lot of guys on here would tell you the same ,easier to learn with as well. you dont need an eleven foot totem pole,ive had a couple of guys for a lesson with them and they cant believe how good a nine foot five feels in their hand ,try one before you buy

The demon is a bargain at the moment .............. but go and play ........ enjoy yourself trying them out. It's the beauty of buying a rod and reel.

If you are not a real casting expert like many on here there are some less 'technical' issues to think of. Like which one o you like the look and feel of.

I have Orvis, Sage, Hardy and Bloke ............ they suite my fishing situations and I like the fact I own them.
