        Hi guys

        Not posted in a long while; had a year away from the waterside due to personal circumstances.

        Looking for an adaptable short method rod for fishing the likes of lindholme etc. ( ie Mostly F1’s plus occasional fish to 6-8lb)

        I seem to remember the Beastmaster 9/11 was highly regarded, is it still available? I have the Beastmaster 13′ rod for big carp at distance and really like it.

        I have a budget of around £80.

        Cheers Dave

          I can recomment the TFG 10ft Compact Feeder at £80 but you can get it for £63 off ebay also in your price band as are Drennan and even cheaper the Garbolinos. People say the Preston are good but they are £136.

              Drennan rods are brilliant, I own two of their rods and can’t fault them.

                Take a look at the Shaky Mach 3 XT rods, you won’t hear anything bad about those! You might get a second hand Beastmaster AX 9-11 if your lucky for that which are meant to be awesome up to 40ish yards.

                    Another vote for the Garbolino Rocket picker rods, absolutely bang on for short method on Bonsai etc i have the 9′ and 10′ ones. Only cost about £25- each too so you can get a few and have them rigged up differently, Method, pellet feeder and bomb.

                        Have a look at the 10ft Drennan Series 7, had mine 3 years now and wouldn’t change it!
