Re: What rods do you take?

I was wondering how many rods and what sizes you generally take out with you? Is it dependant on what species you intend on targeting? Or do you take a variety to be prepared for anything?

There's a good reason all commercial boxes are made for welded galv or alloy. Cheers, Mike. strangely enough Mike I also went with wood this time howev...

The difference between good fish and bad fish is usually the recipe. Some people don't take to the stronger flavour of oily fish. I don't mind it at all. People tell me oily fish generally smokes well. I tried some smoked Aussie Salmon once. Once was enough. Some say Salmon is only good for fish ca...
