Hi everyone, i'm new round these parts so please forgive any daft questions i may ask.
I'm looking into getting a new beachcaster, and money is a bit tight right now so am after something around 50 notes. The Daiwa longbeam was recommended to me as a quality rod at a bargain price, i just wondered if anyone here has one and what they thought of it?
Also, my old rod was 12ft, should i graduate to 13? I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, will i be able to cast much further with it? Or would i, as a gent of slight build, be better off sticking with 12?
I guess what i really need to know is why someone would choose a 12ft rod over a 13ft one.
Cheers.
