I got some crappy rod at walmart 2 for 20 bucks. And i went saltwater fishing...oh what a mistake...they were 8 ft rods for medium action and the blue fish just raped the shit out of my fishing rods. And i was on a pier the reel couldnt even reel. And they just snapped.
My dad has good fishing rods that he bought in the 80's like diaw and w.e. all these good companies but back then he got em all for 15 dollars. He told me the only places to buy fishing rods are at the tackle shops but those are 2 hr away.
I can still probably find a decent one at sports authority or dicks.
Im looking for a 8-10ft saltwater fishing rod heavy/medium action.
WHat material should the rod be? And simple tests to tell if its good or not. And about the reel i want one that comes with a reel but how do i know if the reel is good?
thanks
...should have just fished for spot...then i would still have my rods =(
