Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

I have used this to fish for trout with worms but mainly to use with soft plastic lures and rapalas to fish for trout and perch. Cannot fault it at all. Great action on this rod. I use a fixed spool reel with this.
It is very compact.
Rod
Did you pay that money for it????? :eek: Redonkulous - €40 from me!!
Anyway Pat - If its not getting much use, Why go spend a fortune - Some good telescoptic rods about like the firebirds - Not high end by any means but will certainly do a job for you. and for €35 rod reel line they are a no brainer.

If you do want to scale up a bit, give me a pm and we can run through the options. It really depends on the trout you will be going after locally and the size of the river your fishing, you can have some fantastic sport on a really light setup if your after fish under 2lb say, but will need something heavier if you want rainbows on lakes or the trout are a good size near you.
"Other ways" are fly fishing, a truly great way to fish, I genuinely feel you learn so much more about everything while fly fishing, and it really lends to the appreciation of the bigger picture regards fish, you start to learn about plants, flies, nymphs, stages of fly life, feeding patterns of fish and you get the answer to the "why" rather than just the catch - but its a life long journey, and will creep into your soul - you will find you have a lot more time to fish than you think when you pick up the fly rod
If you need anything at all or want more info let me know ill do my best to help.
