argus fly fishing rod 3 piece Sage Dart while its light design allows for delicate presentations and effective feedback VINTAGE ARGUS ARIA 5 PIECE

This size is perfect for an all-rounder set up or bass / flatty rod in the 11-13ft range casting up to 3oz Shimano Ultegra 5500 XSD Popular among serious beach anglers, it offers excellent line capacity, smooth drag performance everything youd expect at this price

The bass at first are not in a feeding frenzy, so you have to attract them

I find Shimano rods tend to feel very balanced, which helps reduce fatigue when making repeated casts

Perfect all-round baitcaster The 24 Tatula SV TW 100 is the ideal all-round reel for bait weights from 7g to 56g and thus offers enormous versatility for different fishing styles and conditions

We'd only ever caught fish up to about 80cm in that area and I was practising for the Freshwater Masters event to be held two months later
