sea fishing rod.

[multi]

Hi, just looking for reccomendations of a sea fishing rod for long treks, looking for one thats 10 to 12 feet long, and fold down really quite small and is lightweight.
Long lasting and strong. Prefer foldable eyes to save me leaning on them and them breaking.
The mandatorys being light, heavy duty and compacts small.
I can cater a reel myself.


And comes with a shoulder carry if possible.

Thanks
Adam

theyre nearly all £15, thatll suggest they wont last long at all, as cheaper materials would have been used.
Do you have much experience with them?

 

[HillBill]

Not really. I've got a shakespeare telescopic spinning jobbie. Not used it much but it seems ok.

folding eyes, you my find fixed eyes my be stronger, try veals.co bennets.co murlarkys.co sportfish.co i mainly use heavey casting spinning rods , or flaty,bass rods. all depends on what your after, fish wise, and were your fishing from.

You said sea fishing but that's still pretty broad. What size fish? Under 5 pound sea trout? 10-2- pound mackerel? 100+ pound grouper from a boat or extended fishing pier? For any of the heavier or harder fighting fish I don't think any rod that breaks down to more that a 2 piece is going to be strong enough. For that you just cain't beat Shakespeare's Ugly Sticks (fresh or salt water)

Read over a few of your threads and I guess you'll be beachcasting? I've used of these a bit on the south and east coast.
Would recommend it but It's a bit long when folded it's folded down as short sections wouldn't be strong enough.

cheap doesn't always mean bad

I can make rigs for a few species, I guess a carp rod would be most versitile on the beach.
Whatever rod will help feed me the most.
Im still thinking carp that shrinks down, and maybe a spinner that shrinks down, but a carp rod makes an alright spinner, beach caster etc.
A travel rod would suggest versitility?

Yeah I know, but I do need something long lasting. But then saying that, I only ever damage rods by tredding on them.
I dont think I can trust my life in somnething that costs so little, .

There is a depressing lack of decent travel rod's in this country, Most of what is available is telescopic and not really up to the job (ever tried to unstick a section of rod in the rain?, I have and it's a huge pain.

I was looking for a nice short spinning rod to fit in my pack and found one but it took a little while to locate a decent one but I did see a nice 12ft light beach caster on ebay for about £50 buy it now from Abu I think possibly Penn but I am not sure, i'll keep looking and see what I can find.

Trying my best to avoid a telescopic. I doubt theres a way I can make a rod from a branch and cast a 6oz, thatll save me some carrying a rod.

You're after a miracle, Adam how small are you prepared to go? I use a Shakespeare Odyssey travel spin, 2'40m, ideal fit in a suitcase, had it a long time but I want something just a little stronger after the tip broke on me in Greece, I repaired it but I want this next, looks a goodun.....

Thats a hard travel tube, I wouldnt have to worry about the eyes so much.
I could get a tube seperate to a rod, but itll likely be bashing about.

Im really working on impulse with finding a rod. All I ever use is beach casters and carp rods. And always been 2 peice.
