| Re: Which is best for a newbie?? You only need to upgrade your kit if you are looking to catch a better class of fish! It is a scientifically proven fact that quality fish can only be caught on quality tackle! Oh and by the way I have a nice Sage rod going spare that you can buy for £500   |

| Re: Which is best for a newbie?? Are you saying that quality fish do not want to be caught on inferior tackle. Where did you get this scientific RUBBISH from |

| Re: Which is best for a newbie?? I think it was meant tongue in cheek flydog lol Hi LBH76, welcome to the forum. If you are happy with and catching fish the set-up you have just now, then why change? I have Hardy, Sage and Partridge rods and reels, but love fishing with a 7`0" Wychwood set up that cost a fraction of the others. Peter  |
