Cheers

When I asked the same, the Savagear Bushwacker was highly reccomended my many.

 

[Simon L]

Yep, the 8' 6" Bushwhacker can still be picked-up for around £50, which is well inside budget.

They send their rods out free with a really tuff cardboard tube which i use to store my rods in

How lomg is the handle.

I bought a Quantum Energy 7' 4 piece 10-30gm rod. No problems with it; however, I find that the handle is too long for the rod - out of proportion in other words.
Could anyone tell me how long the handle is on a 7' Bushwhacker....then I can compare lengths.

If your friend is into soft plastics try the Cormoran ITO CRANK 10-30gram.

I'll take a pic of it tonight if you still need to know

Depends what he wants the rods for I use a quantum energy bass for plugging and topwater and love it! I use a busy for fishing larger sps in current and also for plugging but the rod I use most Is the TR4 and these, I think are all within your mates budget.

Why don't you get your friend to phone **** Ward - http://www.mrfishjersey.com/

Or Ben Field - http://www.artoffishing.co.uk/
then he can tell them what he wants the rod for and get the appropriate advice and rod.

Jep, old Bushi grip has got a length of 43cm of the butt. Have a pic here with an inch ruler:

Thanks Guys

I spoke to my friend today he said he will probably go for one of the bushwackers. I like the look of the Cormoran ITO 240 10g-30g myself, might treat myself for Christmas.
I’m currently using a Abu Garcia Suveran 9' 15-60g I think it’s a bit heavy, any one else tried one?

Well i have been using a savage gear roadrunner picked it up for 60 quid and i love it, it is a 5 piece also no storage issues. results have spoken for themselves of late and its only 7 ft, when i cast out andy's new supermis it felt too long for me each to there own i guess.
Though best advice that has been given is speak to either **** or ben and get the experts advice.
