OttoVu Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 A quick query ……… I am looking at getting back into a spot of recreational fishing after a looonnnnnnnng break. Last weekend I looked at my fishing tackle and frankly its seen better days, especially my then favourite rod now complete with a newly broken tip – a Daiwa Procaster. So I have been looking for a replacement, keeping in mind that I am looking for value for money at this stage and see how I go before committing to more expensive gear. So far I have gotten down to 2 Abu G’s – the Salty Fighter and the Veritas. Light, ~2m and 1-3kg,…….to be used for inner harbour local bream and the occasional walking inland rivers spinning for trout. At this stage I am only looking at these rods – yes, I have looked at others, the usual big 2, but like these. Both have pretty good reviews and I have some nice Abu Reels that have been faultless since ....+15 years ago ? Any suggestions ?? Thanks !!!

You mean Medicare still send cheque's 🤨 Yes, I know, that's what I thought - but this one was quite old .....11 months, just enough to cover the extra rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
