Hi

Looking for a pair of good all round 13/14 beach casters that don't break the bank, looking to pay less than 80 for each. I will be using fixed spool reels but may change over to a multiplier at some point.

Have done a fair bit of research but the ones I decide on (after reading though forums) have all been discontinued, like the Leeda assassin for example.

Have been considering the daiwa d surf, does anyone have any suggestions/advice.

Cheers in advance!

TF Gear Delta 14ft ÂŁ59.99 on flea bay from Fish tec(what a dodgey name fish tec?)ive one great rod for the price 14ft sits great in the rest no wobbling around and progressive tip where other rods of higher pedigree was shaking around in the was wind was from behind then side as blustery this just took it so can't ask for more bites show ok
Quite light blank as well and not Icon broom handle thick either.
Only downsides are?
Reel seat wouldn't lock down on Penn 525's so either work position where want reel then padd beneath or change like i did
Eyes can be bit fragile as broke 2 on mine when landed on concrete floor! but part of that is bag is dire just thin nylon

but for ÂŁ60 delivered a steal!
