Hi, I've been fishing for around 40 years on and off and I've decided it's time to return to sea fishing. Things have changed a lot since the last time I went feeding the crabs, I'm stuck!
I'm looking for a decent quality rod and fixed spool reel for beach fishing, price doesn't matter (within reason), I can't find any decent reviews online. I only want to buy once and buy quality if you know what I mean.
I will be fishing in the (Hastings), (Bexhill), (Langley Point Eastbourne) area.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You'll get differing suggestions but to be honest if you do a search on this and the tackle section you'll see similar questions answered.

Good luck
