Zippy 4500 with Slosh20 great combination of rod and reel for rough ground fishing.

Re: Beach rods

If its the rough stuff your fishing, you won't go far wrong with a rod like the Greys Apollo, or alternatively go for the cheaper (but just as good) R.T. Axcellerator (the 13'6" 4-8oz version). Just my opinion.

the greys pz300t`s are stiff and make lovley rock rods
also the greys apollo
the greys nitra
the conoflex rakata
the century carbon metals
the century compressers
all these rods are well man enough for the ruff stuff
i have tryed them all and i now use the pz 300 t`s and my son uses the conoflex rakata and a conoflex proto type with no name
hope this helps
