Ok i must elaborate, its for my female friend, for lure fishing. She is the only person ive ever met who fishes from a paddle board, yes paddle board lol, and shes extremely good at it, from a quarry to a major Loch like Loch Ken she has caught plenty of pike, the biggest was on Lochmaben, just shy of 14lb on her amazon purchased cheap telescopic spinning rod. I know i know, i can hear what you are all thinking, obviously she not lure fishing from it looking to catch monsters or Loch records, shes perfectly happy battling Jacks and low double figure fish, and for a lady thats only been fishing just over a year after i taught her, shes extremely skilled at what she does, i like to keep my feet dry lol, but even on a loch the size of Ken, she put in a 8 hour shift of hard fishing and had half a dozen pike that day, she has the ability to get where Bank fishermen cant ha ha. Of course now that Summer is almost over she is likely to be beached for the rest of the year once it gets bad and we turn to deadbaits. We own dedicated pike and carp rods, so it is specifically a high quality telescopic im looking for, as mainstream 2, 3 or 4 piece rods are just too weighty and big to safely handle on a paddle board whilst being dragged about on windy days etc. So, thats what im after if anyone can recommend something more suitable than a cheapo one. Thanks guys.
