Which Rod

[greenalert]

Hi All

It is our silver anniversary this year & my wife has told me I can have any salmon rod of my choice to commemorate it

Probably a 15ft

I am relatively new to salmon fishing but have read all the reports re B & W, Sage, Hardy etc

What would the forum recommend (very average caster)

Thanks in anticipation

Cheers

Get a custom made rod just for you

I would avoid both Sage and Hardy as they are prone to breakage.

Go for a good British made rod. What budget are we talking?

Hi Sloggi, How do I go about that?

Hi Willie, I dont know, as she says any rod, so any rod it would be, but I would not want her to pay any more than £850

Thanks

Cheers

There is also Clan - just google "clan fishing rods" and you'll find it. Simpsons also build rods mainly on Sage blanks. You could also google "hand-built fishing rods UK" which would be of help.

I had some dealings with Carron only yesterday and they were most helpful - I'm sure they would build a rod to meet your every need

Lucky man to have such an understanding wife with deep pockets
