paddy27 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi, I have been to only a few places like Mornington pier, Williamstown and sandringham for fishing and it has been only two months since I started learning. I have got two fishing rods that I got from Kmart and they are like $30 each. I did not know whether they are good or not but I caught some breams, pinky and flathead using two cheap rods. Now, I want to get proper fishing rod for floating fishing. I have seen people using rods ranges from 10 ft to 15ft for float fishing but I have no idea how to choose right one for float fishing. I cannot seem to cast even little far with my current rods as they are short. Could someone please recommend which fishing rod I should be looking to get? I normally fish at piers or rocks for breams, pinky and flathead I think around $100 is okay for me to start with. I looked at the ranges of fishing rods at BLAH BLAH BLAH store but no idea where to start.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Welcome to Fishraider. Happy to get this started You should have a look at the Mag Bream. Made by Wilson/Snyder Glas. Available in 1 or 2 piece, from 10ft 6 to 11ft 4 It would cast well, handle your target species, and also make a nice light beach rod. I'm guessing you have a spin/ egg beater reel, so go with a medium reel mount. Good luck Ryder Ps didnt see the budget sorry. Mag bream is something to aim for.

antonywardle Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I have a Daiwa 1062 that I got from the blah blah store for around $65 and a shimano reel for $30 dollars. Leaves you $5 for line! Its a nice light rod that is good for casting. I guess if you get a big jewfish then it won't end well but its good enough for everything else I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
